Can Promax PX interface with our supply chain planning system?

5 Jul 09

Promax provides full capability to provide a baseline as well as a promotional forecast for use within Supply Chain Planning applications and ERP. However, should the requirement exist to complement the forecasting (Demand Planning) capabilities of a solution such as SAP APO, Logility or Oracle then this is fully supported. Options to use the SCP solution’s baseline forecast together with the promotional uplifts from Promax or to use the SCP’s forecasting module as a data repository for the forecast created within Promax are all viable options. A working relationship and knowledge of the Logility forecasting solution exists within the Promax team and integration between the two would be provided (on a per-diem cost basis).

As Promax is designed to deal with businesses that have a highly promoted product portfolio we strongly recommend that Promax is baseline calculation methods are used in preference to those of supply chain planning tools. Promax PX can provide the supply chain planning system with a “customer facing” forecast of invoiced sales and volume.
