Manhattan S&OP

Manhattan S&OP is a software that helps in aligning inventory plans across an enterprise with detailed, retail-time execution. Manhattan S&OP easily integrates with an enterprise, Demand Forecasting, and Replenishment to ensure execution of the operational strategy.

Manhattan S&OP simulates the impact of decisions on future inventory investments using ‘'what if'' analysis. It automatically disaggregates aggregate-level S&OP decisions to detailed execution plans. With Manhattan S&OP it is possible to instantly leverage top-down sales and inventory plans managed in Manhattan's Merchandise Planning solution. Manhattan S&OP can reconcile the Sales/inventory with near-term forecasts and order projections, gain unlimited product and location hierarchy support for aggregate-level data analysis, leverage Manhattan store clustering to analyze metric-driven location groupings, and support rolling 12-18 month planning horizons.

Manhattan S&OP delivers business benefits such as complete, cross-functional business alignment, facilitation of a best-in-class S&OP process, improved return on inventory assets, reduction of avoidable supply chain operational costs, and reduction of manual efforts needed to convert aggregate plan adjustments into detailed execution instructions. Manhattan S&OP from Manhattan Associates should be chosen to provide a tighter inventory planning integration for complete alignment across an enterprise even when the company is already optimizing inventory.

Additionally, Manhattan S&OP can be chosen to enable an immediate action of a plan, because when it is integrated into Demand Forecasting, Replenishment, and Financial Planning, a ‘'what if'' analysis can be performed to determine the impact on a new inventory plan and allow immediate execution. Experts recommend choosing a S&OP for aligning the critical elements of an enterprise namely the strategic business plans, current demand and supply plans, and current operating and financial constraints.
