S&OP Collaboration & Reporting

One plan for sales, supply chain and finance. Planamind links the forecast to a gross-profit view and your AOP, explains the gap in AI-written reviews, and gives every team one place to discuss the plan and build its own reports.

Why S&OP stalls

Every S&OP cycle turns into a reconciliation exercise.

Demand is in one system, supply in another and finance in a third, so the meeting is spent agreeing on numbers instead of making decisions.

01

No single version of the truth

Volume plans, stock plans and the P&L are built separately, and the S&OP pack is stitched together in Excel.

02

Budget gaps found too late

The gap to AOP is discovered in the review meeting, with no clear view of whether volume, price or mix is to blame.

03

Decisions lost in email

Overrides, assumptions and follow-ups live in inboxes, so nobody can see who changed the plan or why.

How Planamind runs S&OP

Five capabilities, one S&OP process.

Demand, supply and finance share one workspace, so the numbers in the review are the numbers in the plan.

01 · Revenue gap bridge

See exactly why you are behind AOP

A bridge walks from AOP to the current forecast through volume, price and mix, so the gap is explained rather than just reported. Worst, base and best cases are shown for both revenue and gross profit.

AI · Ana's analysisAna analyses the gap, sets out best- and worst-case scenarios for closing it, and lists prioritised actions for the review.

The P&L behind the plan

Planamind builds a gross-profit P&L from the forecast, the supply plan and your price list: revenue, stock values, cost of goods sold, gross profit, trade spend and net margin. Upload your AOP at any level, from group to SKU or customer, and compare plan with budget by product, customer, location or ABC class.

AI · Ask AnaAsk Ana a finance question in plain English, such as which customers drive the margin gap, and she answers from the live plan.

03 · Collaboration

Discuss the plan where the numbers are

Start a comment thread on any part of the plan, @mention colleagues, and assign tasks with an owner and a due date. Every forecast override records who made it, when and why, with optional reason codes, and an Action Items list keeps open decisions in one place.

AI · Needs reviewThe Action Items list brings together accuracy recommendations, projected stockouts, upcoming promotions and AI-generated planning actions from market news.

04 · Roles & access

Everyone in the process, each seeing their part

Four roles, from admin planner to view-only, bring sales, finance and leadership into the same process. Access can be narrowed to specific products, locations, customers and projects, and Ana respects the same limits.

Secure by designEvery access and configuration change is logged, and Planamind is SOC 2 and ISO/IEC 27001 certified.

Ana in action

The right intervention, before the gap becomes a loss.

Ana turns the numbers into a short list of decisions for the S&OP room.

Budget gap

Revenue 8% below AOP in the North

Division North is behind its AOP through Q3. The bridge shows most of the gap is mix, and Ana lists the forecast and channel actions for review.

Opportunity

Unplanned event before year end

The Monthly Review flags a calendar event that isn't yet in the plan, with its expected lift and value, so the team can decide whether to act.

AI · Ana's Analysis

Prioritised actions on revenue, stock and accuracy

Revenue gap, stock health and forecast accuracy each come with Ana's analysis and a prioritised action list. The revenue gap view adds best- and worst-case scenarios for closing the gap to AOP, and accuracy diagnostics explain in plain English why the forecast missed.
