Optimize Planning
When capacity, inventory, and order statuses from your co-packers and contract manufacturers live in spreadsheets and email threads, every allocation decision is a guess. Nulogy Supplier Collaboration connects your planning system with real-time data from across your external network, helping you hit deadlines with confidence.
What Is Planning Accuracy?
Planning accuracy is how closely a plan matches what your external manufacturing network can actually deliver. According to Gartner research, only 8% of supply chain leaders say they have a clear, data-driven picture of both their internal and external supply chain. The rest are planning against data that is already out of date.
Improving accuracy doesn't mean rebuilding your planning system. It means getting real-time capacity, inventory, and order statuses from every co-packer, contract manufacturer, and contract supplier, so the plan updates with the network instead of catching up to it.
How to Improve Planning
Plan Against Real Capacity, Not Last Week's Estimate
Allocate orders based on what a co-packer or contract manufacturer can actually run today, not the capacity number from the last check-in call.
Catch a Shortfall Before It Becomes a Missed Order
See on-hand and in-transit material status across the network in one dashboard, so a plan doesn't fall apart because a component was late and nobody flagged it.
Keep Every Plan on the Current BOM
Digitally enforced bill of materials management means a plan is never built against a spec a partner already changed.
Connect the Plan to the Systems You Already Run
Low-code and no-code integration connects your external network's data to the planning system you already use, instead of asking your team to work from a separate tool.
How Nulogy Supplier Collaboration Optimizes the Plan
Supplier Collaboration feeds your planning system real-time capacity, inventory, and BOM data from every co-packer, contract manufacturer, and contract supplier in your network. For food and beverage brands, that connection can extend directly into Kinaxis Maestro, with implementation partner LIDD designing and integrating it, so a plan reflects what the network can actually deliver instead of what it estimated last week.
Resilience Starts With Being Connected
“As you drive responsiveness and resilience in your supply chain, making sure you are seamlessly connected to all third parties that are critical nodes is a must. Nulogy provides the solution to make this happen,” says Josue Munoz, Former VP, Global Supply Chain, Colgate-Palmolive.
