S&OP Planning.
Demand, supply, finance — one governed environment.
Does IDU replace our existing demand-planning tool?
Not necessarily. IDU is the governed environment where demand, supply, and finance reconcile. Many organisations keep their bottom-up demand tool and use IDU as the single S&OP source of truth.
How does S&OP planning connect to the financial plan?
Demand, supply, and financial impact share the same data structure. Volume changes update revenue, margin, and working capital in the plan automatically — no parallel workbook, no reconciliation tax.
Can we run multiple S&OP scenarios at once?
Yes. Run base, upside, downside, and stretch scenarios in parallel. Compare them on the same axes, present them in the executive meeting, adopt the one leadership signs off.
How is the S&OP cycle audited?
Every demand and supply submission, every financial reconciliation, every executive decision is timestamped and attributed. The audit trail spans the full cycle, not just finance.
