BPS - A digital twin of the supply chain

World Class Wood Supply BPS (Business Planning System) is the next generation IT system for the company's supply chain. An end-to-end system that handles all the complexity required for the organization to become a world-class wood supplier. In the system, industrial needs, deliveries for all subprocesses in the supply chain, and resource capacity for the entire operation are planned with a time perspective of 1-24 months ahead. Financial planning with costs for wood and resources, as well as working capital, is integrated into the system's planning versions. Similarly, climate impact (CO2) can be planned and monitored. Analysis, visualization in graphs, map visualization, and simulation with the help of different planning versions are standard functionalities. The user interface is appealing and interactive for the best user-friendliness. Our flexible and configurable data model is the perfect platform for optimization support, automated simulation assistance, and AI support for planning and analysis.

We provide a web-based SaaS solution with support and ongoing upgrades of the system.
