The Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process is an important part of any company that manufactures and sells a tangible product. The plan itself integrates the entire company integrating financial targets, tracking Point of Sale (POS) Actuals over time, monitoring open orders, and building an accurate forecast for the future. The data that flows into the S&OP process sources from systems spread across the organization (Finance, Operations, and Sales), which is why the Qlik Platform is the perfect vehicle for analyzing and optimizing the S&OP process as a whole.
