Infor has made generally available a new application for sales and operations planning. Version 1.0 of Infor S&OP lets manufacturers, suppliers and distributors create and manage electronic workflows for each stage in the S&OP process. It integrates "what-if" scenario-building tools into decision-making workflows. Customers can model potential changes based on up-to-date demand data, choose the action that leads to the highest increase in revenue or margin, then finalize and populate the changes across the global supply chain. The standalone application can be used independently, or integrated with supply-chain management systems from Infor and most third-party providers. Infor S&OP also integrates financial data and impact modeling directly into workflows, allowing users to see the potential cost, margin and profit impact of their decisions.
