Collaborative planning is no longer the domain of industry giants. Today your customers expect more responsive service than ever before, and the bar will continue to be raised by both customer need and competition for share. The need to coordinate and plan collaboratively with customers and suppliers is becoming an entry-level requirement for enterprises of all sizes in all lines of business.

iPLAN has been designed from its inception with idea that collaborative planning is a fundamental practice. Designed as a portal application, establishing a collaborative planning environment through iPLAN is as straightforward as creating a user profile for your partner on your iPLAN portal.

Collaboration in demand planning and forecasting is just as essential within your own organization, and iPLAN meets the need to share performance information, market intelligence, forecast updates and planning data across Sales, Marketing, Operations and Executive Management functions throughout your organization. Again, the design touchstone has been clarity and usability.
