    Your added value with Planning 5.0 at a glance

    Successful and sustainable support for control processes requires two key elements: Planning must take into account the complexity of  interactions across the value chain while minimizing the effort required to reflect the planning processes. Planning 5.0 offers an innovative approach to integrated planning and simulation for both aspects. The tool optimizes corporate planning in the following dimensions:

    • Process integration of strategic planning, operational sub-planning and financial planning 
    • Functional integration across all divisions 
    • Integration of planning horizons, from long-term to medium-term planning, budget planning and short-term forecasts
    • Technical integration across all processes
    • Data integration of both master and transactional data
    • Methodical integration for the parallel use of manual planning, statistical approaches and simulations

    Thanks to the high degree of automation of Planning 5.0, companies can shorten their response times and thus the time to decision.

    The holistic and integrated framework covers all dimensions of efficient planning

    Linking the planning periods

    Our tool Planning 5.0 covers the typical planning horizons:

    • Strategic and long-term planning
    • Budget planning
    • Forecast

    By closely interlinking these typical planning horizons – for example by using data from previous periods – consistency between the plan versions as well as clear consideration of the strategic guidelines in the operational targets can be ensured. Additional time horizons (e.g. for medium-term planning) can be added if required.
