Platform · Decision flows
Engines, people, suppliers and customers in one governed flow.
Monday, the plan asks a contract manufacturer for 40,000 units by week six. Wednesday, it commits 31,000, two weeks late, in an email to one buyer. Friday, the plan still assumes 40,000. In a VYAN decision flow, the supplier answers inside the flow, the planner sees what the shortfall costs before accepting it, and the next plan starts from the accepted answer.
One flow
A weekly cycle, run as one flow.
Illustrative. Each step has an owner and a prerequisite; policy decides which steps need approval.
Supplier collaboration
Suppliers respond inside the flow, not by email.
The supplier sees the request and answers with the quantity and dates it can commit. The planner sees the answer beside the request, and what the difference costs in service and profit, before accepting it.
An accepted response becomes an input to the next planning step. Over time, each supplier's commitments are measured against what it actually delivered.
Customer collaboration
Customers share forecasts and orders in the same flow.
Key customers contribute forecasts and orders, and see the commitments made to them. Each sees only the information and decisions it is authorized to see.
Their forecasts are measured against what they actually ordered, so planners know which signals to trust.
Governed, not improvised
Every step has an owner, and every override is rechecked.
✓
Owners, not inboxes
Each step has a responsible party and an accountable owner, so nothing waits in someone's email.
⚙
Configured, not coded
Flows are assembled from reusable steps and engines, so a new cycle is a configuration, not a project.
◎
Overrides rechecked
An override goes back through the calculations and feasibility checks before it is approved.
▤
Every run kept
Each run is kept with its inputs and outputs, so anyone can see what was decided on which facts.
Three ways to collaborate
A supplier's answer belongs in the plan, not in an inbox.
Single-forecast planning
Automated single-number plans
VYAN
