Rootstock’s Supply Chain Planning Software empowers planners with automated supply chain management, enabling them to stay in sync with supplier capabilities, production needs, and customer demand. This comprehensive solution provides an end-to-end view, connecting financial, purchasing, and operational systems to streamline processes. It helps organizations exceed customer expectations by ensuring incoming supply meets outgoing orders accurately and on time, while offering customers greater visibility into order logistics. The system integrates Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP) to optimize planning, minimize shortages, and reduce ordering, transporting, and holding costs. Furthermore, it enhances forecast accuracy and operational responsiveness through built-in Salesforce Communities for real-time collaboration and communication with suppliers, facilitating a more resilient supply chain.
