Planning and scheduling systems have traditionally been largely manual activities, limited to production, and hard to interrogate, challenge or alter.

"We are now on top of our stock control, delivery on time and in full - we’ve improved our planning and scheduling capacity by 75-80%. We’re optimising all our resources, efficiently and effectively. We’ve got the foresight to react quicker."
