Planning and analytics platform

Planning, forecasting and optimisation in one platform

Orthantic is an integrated planning platform for Finance, Sales, Workforce, Supply Chain and Operations. Build planning models around your business, forecast, optimise and analyse, and plan together in one shared environment, without moving data between tools.

  1. Plan Multidimensional, driver-based models built around your dimensions, hierarchies and business rules.
  2. Forecast Statistical forecasts generated from your history, within the same platform as the plan.
  3. Optimise Allocation and scenario evaluation against capacity, supply and budget constraints.
  4. Analyse KPIs, variances, drivers and scenario comparisons alongside the plan.

Reduce manual effort in every planning cycle

When planning runs across spreadsheets, email and standalone tools, much of each cycle is spent collecting, aligning and re-keying data. Orthantic gives that time back to analysis.

  • Data consolidation

    Submissions are entered directly into a shared model, removing the manual consolidation step at the start of each cycle.

  • Consistent master data

    Products, regions and cost centres are defined once and shared, so every plan uses the same structure.

  • Fewer tool handoffs

    Planning, forecasting and optimisation run in one platform, reducing exports, imports and reconciliation between systems.

  • Rolling forecasts

    Each forecast cycle builds on the last, with new actuals loaded into the existing model rather than a new file.

  • Scenario analysis

    New scenarios start from changed assumptions, so teams can evaluate more options within the same planning window.

  • Traceability

    Every figure can be traced to the rule and inputs that produced it, supporting review and approval.

Complement your spreadsheets

Spreadsheets remain well suited to ad hoc analysis, one-off models and testing ideas. Orthantic works alongside them, with paste-in and file import built into the planning grid.

For planning that is shared, recurring and detailed, Orthantic provides a governed model structure, controlled data exchange and consistent scenario comparison.

Integrated forecasting and optimisation

Forecasting and optimisation are part of the planning workflow in Orthantic, not separate tools. Results are written back to the planning model, ready for review and adjustment.

Standalone tools

  1. Planning workbook
  2. Export CSV
  3. Forecasting tool
  4. Export CSV
  5. Back into the workbook
  6. Export CSV
  7. Optimisation tool
  8. Export CSV
  9. Reconcile

With Orthantic

  1. Planning model
  2. Run forecast
  3. Review and adjust
  4. Run optimisation
  5. Updated plan
  6. Analyse

With standalone tools, each handoff adds an export, an import and a reconciliation step. In Orthantic, planners run the forecast and the optimisation, review the results and continue planning in the same model.

Planning solutions for every function

Each function plans differently. Orthantic provides a purpose-built model for each planning process, at the level of detail that process requires.

  • Finance and FP&A
    Planning processes
    Budgets, rolling forecasts, driver-based P&L, cost allocation, cash flow.
    Outcome
    A single planning structure that shortens consolidation and accelerates reforecasting.
  • Supply chain
    Planning processes
    Demand plan, S&OP, capacity, inventory cover, replenishment.
    Outcome
    Statistical baselines, planner judgement and constraint-based optimisation in one workflow.
  • Sales
    Planning processes
    Territory design, quota setting, pipeline coverage, commission modelling.
    Outcome
    Commercial assumptions flow into the revenue plan, aligning Sales and Finance.
  • Workforce
    Planning processes
    Headcount, hiring and backfill, attrition, compensation, cost of workforce.
    Outcome
    Headcount and workforce cost planned together, giving HR and Finance one set of figures.
  • Marketing
    Planning processes
    Channel and campaign budgets, promotion planning, spend against demand.
    Outcome
    Budget reallocations evaluated for impact before they are committed.

From operational change to financial impact

A plant manager in Thailand schedules a three-day line shutdown for maintenance. In Orthantic, the change is recorded once and its impact is reviewed in the plans that depend on it.

Manual process
  1. Email supply chain
  2. Update the spreadsheet
  3. Email finance
  4. Update the forecast
  5. Reconcile
  6. Management report
With Orthantic
  1. Record the shutdown
  2. Production plan updates
  3. Supply and finance inputs
  4. Compare the options

The plant manager records the shutdown in the operations model. The updated production plan can then feed the plans that depend on it, such as supply, inventory, revenue and cost.

The team can then compare the options, such as accepting the shutdown, moving production or drawing down inventory, and review the impact of each before deciding.

Collaborative planning in one place

Contributors across Finance, Sales, Operations and HR enter their inputs directly into a shared model rather than sending files. Role-based access controls what each person can see and edit, and every change is recorded with the user and a timestamp.

Reviews and sign-off work from one set of numbers, with versions and scenarios held in the same model.

Scenario planning

In Orthantic, a new scenario starts from changed assumptions rather than a rebuilt model, so teams can evaluate more options within each planning cycle.

Compare the effect of each scenario on revenue, cost, inventory and workforce side by side.

Integrated analytics and reporting

Review KPIs, variances, drivers and scenario comparisons in the same environment as the plan. Analysis and planning share one set of numbers, with no separate reporting extract.

One platform, multiple planning models

Each process modelled at its own level of detail, sharing the outputs that matter.

Finance, Sales, Workforce and Operations plan at different levels of detail. Orthantic provides a model for each planning process, designed around that process.

Models exchange agreed outputs, such as volumes, headcount and financial impact, so each team works in its own model while plans stay aligned.
