What Can You Achieve With Solvoyo's S&OP Solution?
1. Eliminate Excel-based and error-prone reconciliation of your S&OP processes
Many companies still run their S&OP processes using Excel. Although it is ubiquitous, it is a bad idea to keep corporate memory in Excel. Excel also limits your analytics capabilities to turn plans into execution. With Solvoyo’s S&OP platform, you will experience Excel-like ease-of-use along with the advanced analytics capabilities for insights, what-if scenario analyses to evaluate the financial impact of your plan changes and the corporate memory to measure your performance effectively.
“Solvoyo’s S&OP platform gives both the regions and the HQ the ability to maintain a supply plan harmonized with demand and inventory investment targets. We now identify supply plan discrepancies proactively. Along the way, we eliminated Excel from the process and simultaneously increased process speed and planner efficiency across the enterprise.“

2. Harmonize enterprise data with external data to solidify your tactical demand plan
Most of the traditional planning software relies on enterprise data only, usually by creating data lakes and performing descriptive analyses only.
What about the external data? The external world is full of data too! In fact, complementing your planning process with careful analysis of the external data is what could give your business a competitive edge in today’s dynamic business world. With the help of our vast analytics toolbox, including advanced machine learning algorithms, we drive meaningful insights from external data such as competitor actions, benchmark prices, demographics data, weather and social media.
3. Make the most of the new AI/ML technologies with your existing IT investment
Solvoyo can integrate easily with your existing enterprise systems so that you don’t have to rip and replace your existing systems of record. Solvoyo integrates disparate datasets, including those from external sources, to find new correlations and causalities. Our data integration and interchange technologies include:
- Web services, including custom APIs
- Cloud integration platforms such as BOOMI
- Direct DB to DB integration methods such as SSIS
- SAP-specific integration methods such as RFC, PI and ABAP
4. Plan demand, inventory, supply and production using a single platform
Without a perfect sync across different supply chain functions, it is hard to talk about a perfectly optimized end-to-end supply chain. The power of our S&OP solution lies in our concurrent optimization method, which enables our customers to eliminate horizontal misalignment among demand, inventory, production, supply and transportation planning decisions. The same platform can be used for S&OE, the day-to-day refinement and execution of the plan.

Using our S&OP platform, our customers experience immediate and measurable business value with us and have typically seen powerful results in 3-6 months.
