Demand Planning
Smoothie's demand planning begins with a highly accurate expert statistical forecast, then it adds essential functionality for demand consensus, performance evaluation and exception management to provide a comprehensive demand management solution. Also, with the optional supply planning in Smoothie SP, you can balance collaborative demand scenarios with inventories, lead times and capacities to generate actionable sales and operations plans.
Smoothie was designed to work alongside other systems like financial planning and budgeting, trade funds, CRM, Excel and even other forecasting systems. Reference plans from other systems can be seamlessly incorporated into Smoothie, automatically aggregated or disaggregated, and presented with Smoothie's statistical or collaborative plans. The image below shows a spreadsheet and graphical view of Smoothie with statistical, consensus, Sales plan and budget presented simultaneously for easy comparison. Note that the comparisons incorporate historic performance as well as future expectations.
