Financial Planning

You need to protect your bottom line by aligning financial plans and supply chain operations to:

  • Avoid unplanned costs
  • Enhance budget allocation
  • Decrease inventory carrying costs
  • Reduce supply chain and financial risk

Key Challenges

  • Business disruption - Geopolitical, environmental and other unplanned events are constantly invalidating your long term plans resulting in a divide between financial and operational supply chain objectives

  • Fluctuating supply chain costs - Oscillating freight prices, fuel surcharges, increasing raw material prices make it difficult for your enterprise to meet financial objectives

  • Increasing customer expectations - Your customers now expect and even demand stock availability and on-time deliveries to ensure a positive customer experience

Capabilities

  • Scenario management
  • You can anticipate potential performance gaps and re-plan effectively and quickly using what-if analysis and alternative risk assessment scenarios.
  • Decision support
  • QAD’s solution works seamlessly with Corporate Performance Management to effectively share budgets and receive long term sales and supply plans.

  • Organizational collaboration
  • Your organization can leverage social media-like capabilities to comment and share details of the plans or raise risks, tasks, assumptions, and issues for stakeholder follow-up.
  • Performance management
  • Utilize analytics and machine learning to stay atop key performance indicators and metrics to align financial objectives with supply chain operations.
