New Horizon Supply Chain Planning Software Suite

A new approach to supply chain planning

Supply chain planning has been getting more difficult for many years. The pandemic was just the latest in a series of increasingly frequent natural, economic, and geopolitical disruptions that have created havoc for planners. Outsourcing and network complexity have increased lead times and supply chain risk. Global competition has intensified cost pressures. Shorter product lifecycles and increasing channel complexity have compounded demand uncertainty.

Software planning solutions have not kept up with the growing challenges. They have not taken full advantage of new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. And most planning solutions remain too difficult to implement and cumbersome to use.

The New Horizon Planning Suite offers a new approach. Leveraging our founders’ experience implementing planning solutions at over 100 companies, New Horizon has developed an end-to-end planning solution that offers the latest advances in AI, machine learning, and modern cloud computing. Rich out-of-the-box industry templates targeted at the consumer products, wholesale distribution, foodservice, and retail industries make it possible to implement the solution in as little as one month. A more intuitive user experience means increased user adoption and planner productivity.

A comprehensive end-to-end supply chain planning software suite

The New Horizon Suite provides a complete planning solution consisting of eight applications built on a common platform:

Demand Planning: Leverage Facebook Prophet technology and the latest advances in AI and machine learning to produce the most accurate forecasts possible.
Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization: Use machine learning to produce more realistic safety stock plans at all tiers of the supply chain and reduce inventory while meeting target service levels.
