Smart IP&O acts as an extension to our customers' ERP systems. It receives daily transaction data, returns forecasts and stock policy values to drive replenishment planning and production planning.

We have created a powerful system for product information management (PIM), media asset management (MAM), and cross media publishing based on our advastamedia®/O product media data database. All media related to product, marketing and PR are processed and managed. Consequently, advastamedia®/O supports many print and online publishing processes. MAM and PIM systems are often used in isolation. Each topic is very complex. To name a few, there are many challenges in mapping object dependencies, handling large amounts of data, and handling diverse outputs on PIM, as well as handling media assets, variants and maintenance workflows on MAM. There should not be any output boundaries between PIM/MAM - increasing data quality and flexibility require short paths and consistent data. Our integrated advastamedia® solution helps you save time, money, and resources.

Smart Demand Planner™, a consensus-based demand planning and statistical forecasting tool, is available on Smart's Inventory Planning and Optimization platform, Smart IP&O. Smart Demand Planner, powered the SmartForecasts®, Engine, combines strategic business forecasting at all levels of your product hierarchy with granular forecasts for the item mix to improve forecast accuracy. It provides a solid, objective foundation for your sales- and operations planning (S&OP). Smart Demand Planner's collaborative workbench allows for forecast overrides to apply, import, review, and be approved by authorized users who are responsible for the consensus plan. Forecast accuracy can be measured to ensure the best forecast is delivered to the business at both aggregate and item mix levels. This results in more efficient sales planning, budgeting and production scheduling, as well as ordering and inventory planning.
