Top manufacturing companies worldwide use Performance Blueprints to analyze cost components and profitability to maximize profit. By gaining greater visibility into customer demand and sales trends, inventory can be more precisely managed.

Sales and marketing efforts benefit immensely from rich sources of data about sales trends and customer buying behavior. Pipelines and performance can be analyzed from many angles, including brand, product, category, customer, channel, and geography.

Manufacturers need the end-to-end visibility necessary to drive effective supply chain performance. Performance Blueprints provide it, along with the improved reliability and predictability made possible with analysis that enables correction of root causes of variance.

Performance Blueprints improve operational effectiveness across the organization by consolidating data from multiple sources, identifying excess inventory that can be scrapped or repurposed, and making notification of events that affect production immediate and automatic.
