The engine

The home page is the action list.

Orders due this week, forecast exceptions, incoming shipments, overdue orders — the four things that determine your week, on the screen you open first. Sales and operations read the same plan.

S&OP dashboard showing orders due, forecast exceptions, and inbound shipments

What needs doing, not what happened

Orders due this week, exceptions outside tolerance, shipments inbound, orders already overdue. A dashboard that reports last month is a report. This one is a queue.

One plan, two departments

Sales and operations work from the same demand plan. The recurring meeting where two spreadsheets get reconciled before the actual discussion can start stops being necessary.

Reporting is custom

You build the reports you need. There is no prebuilt report library — if a catalogue of canned reports is what you are shopping for, some competitors have one and we do not.

Overnight

What the agent does with s&op dashboard

Every night

The morning digest is this list, ranked and delivered, so triage happens in your inbox and you open Planster when something actually needs you.

What it can’t do

It cannot clear an item, mark something handled, or decide something is done. The queue only moves when a person moves it.

The meeting that stopped being about the spreadsheets

The weekly S&OP call used to open with twenty minutes of reconciling two versions of demand before anyone could talk about the decision. Reading from one plan, the twenty minutes disappear and what is left is the actual disagreement: whether to buy ahead of a deal that has not closed.
