What’s Broken in Enterprise Planning
Brittle Plans Break Under Uncertainty
Disconnected Planning and Financial Strategy
Manual Scenario Planning Doesn’t Scale
Planners Drown in Data, Starve for Insight
Supply Chain Tools Can’t Keep Up with Planning Needs
Forecast Accuracy ≠ Business Impact
Brittle Plans Break Under Uncertainty
The Pain
Plans built on fixed assumptions (demand, lead time, cost) often fail when reality shifts—leading to service failures, margin erosion, and last-minute firefighting.
Legacy Gap
Most planning tools optimize for a single scenario. They’re fast—but fragile. When the real world diverges, there's no safety net.
VYAN Advantage
Stochastic & Robust Optimization: Solve across thousands of scenarios, not just the average
Monte Carlo Simulation: Model volatility in demand, lead times, costs, and more
Risk-Aware Planning: Protect performance at the 95th percentile, not just theoretical optima
Business Value
Higher plan reliability under disruption
95% confidence in service/margin targets
Reduced firefighting and expediting cost
Disconnected Planning and Financial Strategy
The Pain
Operations teams plan for volumes and feasibility. Finance teams plan for cost, margin, and cash. The result? Misalignment and missed targets.
Legacy Gap
Legacy tools separate operational planning (e.g., SAP IBP) from financial forecasting (e.g., SAP SAC). Co-optimization is an afterthought.
VYAN Advantage
Unified Operational + Financial Optimization: Service, margin, cash flow, and ROIC in one solve
Cost-to-Serve Modeling: Understand true profit impact of every supply path
Value at Risk (VaR): Quantify the risk to margin and cash—not just forecast error
Business Value
Enterprise-aligned planning decisions
Better CFO/COO alignment
Higher ROIC and better investor guidance confidence
Manual Scenario Planning Doesn’t Scale
The Pain
Planners can model a few what-ifs—but can’t explore the full spectrum of uncertainty across variables like demand shifts, supplier delays, or cost spikes.
Legacy Gap
Most tools rely on manual simulation workflows. They're slow, reactive, and siloed.
VYAN Advantage
Automated Scenario Engine: Generate thousands of plausible futures instantly
Driver-Based Forecasting & Override Prediction: Incorporate market drivers, human overrides, and future events
Intelligent Comparison & Root Cause Analysis: Identify what’s driving risk or performance gaps
Business Value
Smarter, faster decisions
Full-spectrum risk visibility
Scenario-informed executive guidance
Planners Drown in Data, Starve for Insight
The Pain
Even with mountains of forecasts and plans, teams struggle to understand which issues matter and what actions to take.
Legacy Gap
Most platforms offer reporting, not intelligence. No real decision support or automation.
VYAN Advantage
Agentic AI: Identifies risks, explains root causes, and recommends smart resolution paths
Decision Augmentation: Simulates impacts of decisions and suggests next-best-actions
Workflow Automation: Repeatable actions executed autonomously
Business Value
Faster time to resolution
Reduced planner workload
Embedded decision intelligence
Supply Chain Tools Can’t Keep Up with Planning Needs
The Pain
Enterprises need to plan across complex networks, BOMs, transport, and inventory with detailed cost and constraint logic.
Legacy Gap
Many tools offer high-level planning or black-box solvers. They lack explainability, pegging, or full supply network visibility.
VYAN Advantage
End-to-End Enterprise Optimization Engine
Multi-Echelon, Multi-Objective Optimization
Full Pegging Visibility: From customer order to supply source
Cost-to-Serve + Projected Margin Calculations
Business Value
Transparent, explainable decisions
Optimal allocation under real constraints
Ability to commit with confidence
Forecast Accuracy ≠ Business Impact
The Pain
Traditional forecasting KPIs like MAPE miss the point—what really matters is the financial cost of getting it wrong.
Legacy Gap
Forecasting tools report accuracy, but don’t quantify its impact on the business.
VYAN Advantage
Cost of Forecast Error (CoFE): Quantifies the true dollar impact of bad forecasts
Forecastability Analysis: Helps target where AI will improve vs. where human input is key
Probabilistic Forecasts: Drive better safety stock and risk-aware planning
Business Value
Smarter forecast investment
Better buffer policies
Lower working capital and lost sales risk
The VYAN AI Difference
Legacy systems promise “optimization.” But what good is an optimal plan if it fails in the real world?
VYAN AI delivers resilient, risk-aware, financially aligned plans—so you can stop reacting and start performing, no matter what the world throws at you.
