Integrated sales & operations planning is an excellent means of dealing comprehensively with increasing market complexities . We help you visualise, analyse and coordinate your planning processes. All process steps in sales & operations planning can be supported with a uniform data model in an environment based on the board on a rolling basis and using modern methods.

Driver-based planning and analysis of the available capacity
Comparison of sales and capacity planning and determination of bottlenecks
Top-down planning of the financial specifications and comparison with the operational planning
Calculation of sales and contribution margin planning based on the agreed quantities
Process support through workflow and integrated chat functions

In this web session, we will use the example of sales & operations planning to address why your planning should be integrated, agile and flexible. See for yourself how to automate sales planning and seamlessly integrate operations from inventory strategies to capacity plans and production plans into a holistic S&OP approach.
The celver Sales & Operations module is a template with many pre-configured solutions for the simple and automated determination of a coordinated sales and operations plan. It combines the three key areas of finance, sales and production / purchasing by means of direct integration and workflow coordination. The module is very well suited as a starter kit to get your project off the ground quickly.
The solution can be installed in a few simple steps. It then takes over the existing data such as sales and turnover data, order and production stocks as well as production parameters such as parts lists and work plans and can therefore start with just a few configurations. Use the options of automatically calculating sales volumes from historical data, the storage of production parameters for calculating required resources and many other options.
With a variety of comment options in the individual planning steps, you increase the quality of your sales and operating plan and create significantly more transparency and trust. Using integrated chat functions, you can further expand the direct exchange of detailed information and document it historically.
Workflow allows you to involve all those taking part in planning in a rolling monthly process in sales and production planning. Sales, production / service, purchasing and of course controlling. This gives you quick coordination and greater precision in the forecast of your sales and contribution margin development.
With the celver Sales & Operations module, you can create a uniform plan on a uniform database that includes both actual and planned figures. This also enables a continuous analysis of all information and an end-to-end view of your entire value creation cycle.
Analysis and reports that are pre-configured and expandable in the module ensure quick transparency. The uniform database guarantees reliable information. Comparisons to the previous month are also shown in order to identify deviations and take appropriate measures.
