Planning & execution:
Why embrace Digital?

Stop trying to manage unknown-uncertainty and start managing known-variability
digital planning and execution transformation
The pursuit of digital autonomy in planning and execution brings significant improvements. Building your organizational capabilities, and not just systems functionality, requires extensive expertise in both lean enterprise systems and technology. To make a real impact on performance, you have to work at the enterprise operational systems level.
Effective Digital planning and execution progressively create a resilient and responsive enterprise ecosystem. Our goal is to Connect & Empower businesses. With Digitalsoft, your organization will stop trying to manage unknown-uncertainty and start managing known-variability.

Common challenges & risks

Overcoming resistance to change

  • Understanding the organization maturity level from people, system and process perspective
  • Having the right organization structure

Why embrace Digital

Getting the most out of your assets: people, systems, machines

  • Making more effective decisions. Play to your ERP’s core strengths: ERP is a system of record, don’t try to “fit a square peg in a round hole”
  • Predicting enterprise performance over a longer timeframe – from 1-3 months, to 12-18 months

The keys to success

Self-reflection: assess processes, systems and skills

  1. Empowering your organization: deploying sales, inventory & operations planning
  2. Effectively managing complexity – large number of SKUs
  3. Effectively managing large volume of data
  4. Leveraging technology to better predict customer demand
  5. Leveraging technology to better manage the supply plan – switch to respond-planning
  6. Sweating your assets: effective constraints-management and asset utilisation
