Why is supply chain planning solution broken?
Most manufacturers run three to five disconnected supply chain planning tools that synchronize data monthly at best. Planners spend 70% of their time consolidating data instead of making decisions, leaving supply plans outdated the moment they are published.
Why are legacy supply chain planning tools failing?
Traditional supply chain planning platforms take 12–18 months to implement, cost millions and rely on static models that cannot adapt to real-time demand shifts.
What are the risks of spreadsheet-based supply chain planning?
Companies using spreadsheet-driven planning experience 20–40% higher forecast errors compared to those using AI-powered demand planning platforms.
How can companies respond to volatility?
Companies that replace static planning models with dynamic, scenario-based tools reduce excess inventory carrying costs by 25–35%.
Why do companies lack real-time supply chain visibility?
Most operate across four to seven disconnected systems (ERP, WMS, TMS, spreadsheets, and supplier portals), none sharing a unified data model.
