iCollaboration, developed by Adexa Inc., is an AI-powered solution designed to meet end-to-end supply chain planning needs. According to the vendor, it offers a comprehensive environment for sales and operations planning (S&OP), collaborative demand planning, inventory optimization, supply chain planning, strategic network optimization, factory planning and scheduling, and order fulfillment. The product is suitable for companies of all sizes, from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to large multinational corporations. It is utilized by supply chain professionals, operations managers, demand planners, inventory managers, and production planners across various industries such as manufacturing, retail, consumer goods, high tech, and automotive.

## Key Features

**Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP)**: According to the vendor, iCollaboration provides a comprehensive environment for end-to-end visibility, predictability, and responsiveness in supply chain operations. It enables the prediction and optimization of inventory buffers across multiple levels of the supply chain, resulting in reduced delivery lead times, increased order fill rates, and avoidance of capacity and materials shortages. Additionally, it is capable of performing both S&OP and sales and operations execution (S&OE) functions.

**Collaborative Demand Planning**: According to the vendor, iCollaboration facilitates elaborate collaboration protocols among internal and external stakeholders. It offers short-term, medium-term, and long-term demand sensing capabilities, as well as advanced machine learning techniques for best fit algorithms and policies.

**Inventory Optimization & MEIO (Multi Echelon Inventory Planning & Optimization)**: According to the vendor, iCollaboration enables companies to quickly and effectively increase customer service levels while lowering inventory levels. It utilizes uncertainty-based optimization to decide optimal inventory levels at each location and employs stochastic and search techniques for finding the optimal allocation of limited resources. By leveraging these capabilities, companies can reduce inventory by up to 30% while increasing service levels.

**Supply Chain Planning & Optimization**: According to the vendor, iCollaboration allows users to create accurate constraint-based plans quickly, reducing excess inventory, overtime, and open work orders. It also helps shorten lead times and gain visibility into production capacity and material usage, enabling companies to accommodate customer-demand changes in a timely manner.

**Strategic Network Optimization**: According to the vendor, iCollaboration enables companies to aggregate, synchronize, and optimize multi-site, multi-enterprise procurement, production, and distribution plans. It enables the achievement of accurate financial targets while minimizing operations costs. Additionally, iCollaboration provides optimal sourcing strategies to reduce cost and ensure continuity of supply chain operations, along with what-if scenario planning capabilities for examining alternatives.

**Factory Planning & Scheduling**: According to the vendor, iCollaboration facilitates continuous optimization of production planning and scheduling, resulting in improved on-time delivery performance and customer satisfaction by reducing cycle times. It also helps optimize work-in-process (WIP) to achieve lower inventory levels and enables real-time monitoring and scheduling of operations with connections to MES systems.

**Intelligent Order Fulfillment and Smart Allocation with Available-to-Promise & Capable-to-Promise**: According to the vendor, iCollaboration provides real-time Available-to-Promise (ATP) and Capable-to-Promise (CTP) information for reliable order commitments. It offers dynamic re-allocation capabilities to improve fill rates and optimize availability, stock-outs, partial shipments, and returns. Additionally, iCollaboration avoids the use of fixed and unrealistic lead times on sales orders.
