The Blueshift team have a combined total of 25 years experience in the Retail & Fast Moving Consumer Goods industry. Our specialty is in the areas of Trade promotions management, forecasting, software development and systems implementation and the S&OP (Sales & Operations Planning) process.
To gain maximum benefit from our software solution your organisation will need to have a strong and active S&OP process.
The S&OP Process as defined by Maha Muzumdar and John Fontanella -- Supply Chain Management Review, 4/1/2006 is the set of business processes and technologies that enable an enterprise to respond effectively to demand and supply variability with insight into the optimal market deployment and most profitable supply chain mix. S&OP strategies help companies make "right-timed" planning decisions for the best combination of products, customers, and markets to serve. The typical planning period ranges from four weeks to as long as two years. When applied correctly, S&OP has the power to enable an enterprise to achieve an immediate and significant increase in return on investment. It can have a direct impact on profitability, performance, customer satisfaction, and the product portfolio.
Implementing an S&OP process is not easy and comes with many challenges and requires internal culture shift. The Blueshift team can coach and guide you through this process.
