FAQs

  • What are the benefits for planners?

    Supply chain planning tools help planners save time, reduce errors, and improve decision-making by automating calculations and providing a structured planning process:

    • Time savings: automated calculations and structured workflows eliminate manual effort

    • Fewer errors: cloud-based, real-time updates ensure accuracy, and all changes are tracked

    • Improved focus: AI-guided suggestions highlight priorities, helping planners stay on track

    • Collaboration & visibility: integrated with ERP and other planning tools, reducing the need for manual reporting and presentations.

  • What are the benefits for the company?

    A well-implemented supply chain planning solution doesn’t just support planners but drives company results:

    • Better decisions: mathematical models enhance demand forecasting, supply planning, and inventory management.

    • Optimized working capital: reduces excess inventory while preventing stockouts.

    • Lower lost sales: more accurate demand planning ensures products are available when needed.

    • Efficiency gains: less time spent on spreadsheets and manual processes means teams can focus on strategy.

  • Which are the key trends in supply chain planning?

    Modern supply chain planning is evolving, with AI and machine learning playing a growing role. Some of the biggest trends include:

    • Machine learning in demand planning: improves forecast accuracy by detecting trends, outliers, and external drivers

    • Supply optimization is still driven by mathematical models: linear and mixed-integer programming (MIP) remain the core methods for production and inventory planning

    • AI-assisted planning: large language models help planners prioritize tasks, track changes, and measure forecast value add (FVA) but do not replace optimization models

    • End-to-end scenario planning: real-time adjustments allow businesses to test different demand, supply, and financial scenarios instantly

  • What is the difference with an ERP system?

    ERP systems are systems of record, designed to track past transactions, inventory levels, and financials. However, they lack the analytical capabilities needed for advanced planning.

    A supply chain planning tool works on top of an ERP, providing:

  • What is Horizon?
