Data Management and Integration
Integrate planning with your other systems and data
Improve processes and outcomes with automated integration between sofco Planning and your wider business applications. Leverage your existing data and see the bigger picture you need to make better planning decisions.
Seamless system integration
Integrate your existing ERP and other business systems with sofco Planning to automate data updates, and reduce manual effort and the scope for human error. Utilise for pre-planning e.g. demand, inventory; and post-planning e.g. production orders, purchase suggestions.
Automatically validate your planning data
Ensure data integrity and quality using the automated KPI Dashboard which alerts for content, format and quality errors in data coming from other systems. Find and solve your data issues in advance of the planning process
Data transformation
Your current data might be in the wrong format in ERP and other business systems to be useful for planning purposes. In this case, the sofco technical team can carry out data transformation activities as part of a delivery project to maximise your outcomes.
Master Data Management (MDM)
Sometimes the right master data isn’t available in existing ERP and other systems. If this is the case, or the structure isn’t fit for purpose, it can easily be created in the sofco MDM.
