Why this session matters

Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) sits at the heart of every manufacturing organisation. Yet, for many teams, it remains fragmented, manual, and difficult to trust.

Disconnected spreadsheets, delayed inputs, and inconsistent assumptions often lead to:

• Misaligned supply and demand plans

• Limited visibility across functions

• Slow response to market changes

• Time spent reconciling numbers instead of making decisions

This session is designed to step back and explore what S&OP should look like today and how modern planning platforms are helping organisations move from reactive to responsive.

What you’ll learn

This webinar is built to be educational and practical, giving you a clear understanding of how S&OP can evolve in a manufacturing environment.

You’ll walk away with:

• A clear view of common S&OP challenges and why they persist

• A framework for what “modern S&OP” actually means in practice

• An understanding of how connected planning improves alignment across finance, supply chain, and operations

• A walkthrough of an end-to-end S&OP process in action

• Insight into how planning tools can simplify — not complicate — the user experience

• A high-level view of how systems integrate to support planning at scale
