S&OP en la era de la IA

Replace Excel cycles with continuous S&OP planning

Traditional S&OP processes rely on spreadsheets, manual consolidation, and monthly cycles that are already outdated when decisions are made.

Flowlity replaces Excel-based planning with a continuous S&OP process, where forecasts, constraints, and KPIs are always up to date.Planners work on a single source of truth, automatically refreshed from ERP and other data sources.

The result: fewer manual tasks, fewer errors, and more time spent analyzing trade-offs instead of maintaining spreadsheets.

This approach helps teams:

• Shorten the S&OP cycle
• Reduce dependency on spreadsheets
• Improve forecast accuracy over time
• React faster to demand and supply volatility

Align sales forecasts, supply constraints, and financial targets in one workflow

Sales and operations planning only works when all stakeholders are aligned.
Flowlity connects sales forecasts, demand planning and supply constraints in one integrated workflow.

Sales, supply chain, and finance teams collaborate on the same data model, with clear roles, approvals, and accountability.
This breaks organizational silos and ensures that every S&OP decision reflects operational reality and financial impact.

With Flowlity, teams can:

• Align demand forecasts with capacity and lead times
• Reconcile service levels, inventory, and profitability
• Share dashboards and KPIs across functions
• Make informed decisions based on a common plan

Run scenario planning in minutes (what-if simulations)

Uncertainty is now the norm in supply chain management. Flowlity’s S&OP software includes built-in scenario planning and what-if simulations that allow teams to test decisions before committing.

Planners can simulate scenarios such as:

• Changes in service levels or demand forecasts
• Supplier delays or extended lead times
• Capacity constraints or overtime options
• Inventory planning trade-offs across product families

1) Connect your data sources (ERP + demand inputs)

Flowlity integrates with your ERP and key data sources to centralize demand, supply, inventory, and financial information. This unified data foundation creates a reliable, end-to-end view of your supply chain planning environment.

Benefits include:

• A consistent data model for S&OP planning
• Automated data refresh
• One shared version of the truth for all planners

2) Detect disruptions early with AI signals

Flowlity uses predictive AI to continuously monitor forecasts, constraints, and execution signals.

The system detects potential disruptions such as demand deviations, supply risks, or capacity bottlenecks and prioritizes them based on business impact.

Instead of reacting late, planners can anticipate issues and adjust plans proactively.

3) Simulate, decide, and execute — with automated workflows

Once scenarios are evaluated, Flowlity helps teams move from decision to action through automated workflows.

Approvals, tasks, and collaboration are embedded directly in the S&OP process. Stakeholders can comment, validate assumptions, and trigger execution steps without switching tools.

This closes the gap between planning and execution — a key limitation of traditional S&OP tools.

Shorter S&OP cycle time (from weeks to days/hours)

By automating data consolidation, simulations, and workflows, Flowlity dramatically reduces S&OP cycle time and accelerates decision-making.

Better service levels with less inventory

Flowlity helps teams optimize inventory planning by balancing service objectives, demand forecasts, and supply constraints — improving customer service without excess stock.

Higher forecast reliability through continuous updates

Rolling forecasts and AI-driven adjustments improve forecast accuracy over time, even in volatile demand environments.

Faster response to supply chain disruptions

With early detection, scenario planning, and rapid re-alignment, teams can respond faster to disruptions and reduce operational risk.

Clear KPIs and executive-ready dashboards

Flowlity provides customizable dashboards with aligned KPIs, enabling executives to validate decisions quickly and monitor performance across the S&OP planning horizon.

Built for adoption (not a heavy transformation project)

Flowlity is designed for fast time-to-value. Teams can deploy the solution without long, complex transformation programs and start improving their S&OP process quickly.

From strategy to execution in one place

Unlike traditional S&OP software that stops at planning, Flowlity connects strategy, scenario planning, and execution workflows in one platform — ensuring decisions are actually implemented.

Designed for mid-market teams that need enterprise-grade results

Flowlity delivers advanced sales and operations planning software capabilities — AI forecasting, simulations, dashboards, and workflows — without the complexity of heavy APS or IBP platforms.
