RapidResponse for empowering front line decision makers to quickly respond to changes in demand and supply

Why RapidResponse?

Let's face it; there is a gap between what you plan and what actually happens. With RapidResponse you can close that gap and balance demand and supply on a continual basis, so you can deliver what your customers want.

RapidResponse helps companies manage their S&OP and revenue objectives despite the daily risks and volatility inherent in today's increasingly unpredictable world.

• rapid and collaborative supply chain planning
• continuous monitoring of performance to the plan, and
• immediate response to demand and supply misalignments.

With RapidResponse, you can respond to plan variations quickly and effectively to achieve maximum financial performance and higher customer satisfaction. With over 30,000 users, innovative market leaders, such as Casio, Research in Motion (RIM), Honeywell, Jabil, Qualcomm, Raytheon and Toshiba have all turned to RapidResponse for better supply chain performance.

Key Differentiators for RapidResponse Technology:

One multi-site data model available to the masses

Pulls in information from multiple and differing ERP systems and other data sources, and integrates it together for one view of the extended enterprise. Gives role based views for users across and deep within the organisation.

Real-time notification of impact of plan variations

Know what's changed, how it impacts future performance, and who it impacts, thus
enabling teams to immediately come together and collaborate.

Instant simulations and immediate MRP calculations

Calculations are performed in a matter of seconds (as opposed to hours in ERP) and maintain the integrity of the respective ERP systems' analytics. Teams can model action alternatives and re-plan on the fly.
