New Horizon Software

Excellent tool for supply/demand planning

Pros

New Horizon helped us resolve our forecasting challenges. We previously struggled with efficient forward planning and scenario analysis. It has also addressed our manual PO planning issues as we can now review suggested orders based on current demand, forecasted sales, SS targets and vendor minimums. This has significantly cut down the time spent issuing POs.

Cons

The system does not account for shelf life.

It really gave us the solution we needed

Pros

I really appreciate the tools maintenance feature. We deal with frequent transitions and changes with our customers and this provides a quick solution to link items together and prevent us from ordering something during certain periods. This eliminates the need to manually note it down and remember to remove it from an order. This has saved our team a considerable amount of time compared to our previous system.

Cons

Only issue I would mention is with ordering slow-moving items. The tool does an excellent job recommending orders for 98% of the items we work with but for the very slow-moving items, we often have to manually add them to the orders.

Easy and efficient

Pros

It is hosted on the cloud so there's no need to maintain a server or database. The tool's Excel like interface is popular with our users, who love how easily they can export to Excel. I also appreciate that everything can be managed from a single worksheet making the process much more streamlined.

Cons

The only downside is that it takes a little longer to open the worksheets. However as mentioned earlier, you can do everything from a single worksheet.
