Slingshot's Plan module synchronizes your supply plan (in real time) with the capabilities of your trading partners. By enabling continuous information sharing, Plan promotes collaboration, reducing lead times and improving supplier performance.
Take Your SCM Craft Further than Ever Before
Slingshot’s Plan module provides you with unparalleled control and flexibility in your supply chain management (SCM) pursuits by combining a patented SCM process in a web based, collaborative environment. Your left hand will know for certain what your right hand is doing (and vice-versa).
Real Time Internet Based Planning – Plan responds immediately to changes in supply chain planning rules, inventory levels, supply, demand and your sales forecast Zero Plan Latency – Continuous supply chain planning improves your decision making by removing plan latency from the mix (“Wait a second – hold that truck while I figure this out” is a thing of the past). Bucketless Planning – All calculations are “bucket-less” and forecasting periods are user defined. This eliminates inefficiencies introduced by “bucket averaging”, again allowing you to make better decisions about your supply chain more quickly.
Slingshot’s inventory, warehouse and supply chain management modules enable you to plan and control diverse inventories at facilities across your global enterprise. Integration along with planning and execution applications ensures that your products are in the right place at the right time, all the time. Constantly monitor supply and demand across your supply chain - taking action as required in order to keep inventory at target levels.
