Your current IT systems can be integrated into Lokad’s platform very easily. Your workflows do not have to change!
You can feed Lokad your data (whatever format suits you) and our predictive optimization brain will send back to your ERP the optimized decisions you need to succeed.
Common questions
Do I need to get rid of my existing systems? Will this replace my S&OP process?
No. Using Lokad does not require you to change your processes.
Our optimized decisions (and modules) can be adapted to fit whatever your current IT processes and preferred workflows are. In other words, you don’t have to change your ERP and S&OP systems.
Can we start slow?
Yes. Lokad is incredibly flexible with our technology and solutions.
In general, we think more automation is better (supervised by human experts), and we can evolve together over time. It’s important to demonstrate value first, though, and we can do that with one module and then graduate to providing end-to-end optimized decision-making.
Is financial impact the best metric for supply chain decisions?
Yes. Absolutely.
The financial impact (return on investment) of your decisions is the only objective thing that can be measured at scale and for every SKU. Other metrics are nice indicators, but they lack the important, direct financial aspect. In short, you need to know that what you are doing is making a positive financial difference.
