Frequently Asked Questions

VYAN AI is an enterprise planning and optimization platform that enables smarter, faster, and more resilient decision-making across supply chain, finance, and operations. We combine AI forecasting with advanced optimization and intuitive UX to help enterprises align plans with strategic outcomes.

Most legacy tools stop at generating “a plan.” VYAN goes further — enabling users to simulate what-ifs, balance tradeoffs, and optimize decisions in real time across multiple business objectives like margin, cash flow, and service.

VYAN is built for business planners across supply chain, finance, commercial, and operations — anyone who needs to make data-informed decisions with agility and confidence, without relying on IT or data science teams.

VYAN helps enterprises:

• Forecast demand with AI and scenario flexibility

• Match demand and supply intelligently

• Optimize across cost, service, margin, and risk

• Measure the cost of forecast error and poor fulfillment

• Simulate decisions before executing

Enterprise Optimization (EO) is our next-gen capability that allows businesses to solve for multi-objective tradeoffs like service vs. margin vs. cash flow vs. carbon. You define your priorities — VYAN finds the best plan.

The EO Profile is your control center. It lets planners set objectives, constraints, and toggles — including things like delay penalties, supply gating rules, margin floors, forecast consumption logic — to generate tailored, explainable results.

It’s a VYAN innovation that translates forecast misses into real financial impact, like lost sales, excess inventory, or expedited shipping costs. CoFE helps teams prioritize accuracy where it matters and reduce buffer-driven waste.

With stochastic forecasting and Monte Carlo simulations, VYAN helps you understand the full spectrum of demand variability and evaluate plans that perform well across likely futures — not just one fixed scenario.

Yes. VYAN offers robust API-based integration and Excel-based data loaders. We’re designed to complement your existing systems and give you advanced planning without requiring a full rip-and-replace.

Both. Business users can configure data, models, and simulations without writing code. For advanced users, we offer scripting and model customization where needed — but most use cases are fully no-code.

Absolutely. VYAN’s data model supports n-tier supply networks, BOMs, production and transport routings, and pegging logic to track every demand back to its source of supply — with visibility into cost, delay, and margin.

Typical proof-of-value pilots take 4–8 weeks. Full enterprise rollouts vary based on scope and integration needs, but we specialize in iterative value delivery that shows results early and often.

We use ensemble forecasting, driver-based models, and forecastability analysis to give you the best possible view of future demand — along with insights into how predictable each item is.

VYAN lets you create, edit, and compare scenarios with override logic, what-if simulations, and stress testing. Scenarios inherit from each other, making it easy to test changes without duplicating effort.

Yes. Our Planning Results Review widget shows interactive pegging chains from demand to upstream supply sources. You can filter by item, location, firm/proposed status, and see where bottlenecks or risks occur.

If you’re spending too much time debating plans, reacting to crises, or struggling to align decisions across silos — VYAN is built to help. We recommend a Value Pilot to see real results before making a bigger commitment.

VYAN works across discrete manufacturing, process industries, distribution, and consumer goods — any sector where planning complexity, risk, and tradeoffs drive performance.

Yes. You can begin with AI Forecasting or with our NOVA Optimization engine separately, then expand into full integrated planning. VYAN is modular and extensible.

We offer pilot-based pricing for short-term value validation, followed by flexible subscription models based on user roles, modules used, and revenue-tier.
