Effective S&OP bridges strategy and execution, yet 70 % of companies struggle with siloed forecasts and misaligned inventories. Demand
Sphere S&OP from VSI Technologies transforms your planning cycle into a continuous, data-driven process that balances customer service, working capital, and cost-to-serve. Discovery & Baseline
- We kick off with a cross-functional workshop to map current demand-planning workflows, data sources, and key pain points. Using our Process X-Ray accelerator, we quantify forecast error, inventory variance, and order-fulfillment gaps. Integrated Forecasting
- A unified data fabric ingests POS, ERP, CRM, and market data. Advanced time-series models tuned with external signals (promotions, seasonality, macro-indicators) deliver consensus forecasts with automated bias correction. Scenario Planning & Optimization
- Built-in what-if engines simulate capacity constraints, product launches, and supply-chain disruptions. Multi-objective optimizers then recommend order-release plans that maximize service while minimizing inventory and obsolescence. Governance & Continuous Improvement
- Role-based dashboards track plan-versus-actual, exception alerts, and KPI scorecards. Monthly Value Councils drive root-cause analysis and refine assumptions. Outcome-based pricing ties VSI's fees to forecast accuracy improvements and inventory-turn gains. Demand
Sphere S&OP brings planning clarity, agility, and profitability to consumer goods, manufacturing, and distribution businesses worldwide.
