Qvantum

QVANTUM is a cloud solution for agile, operative corporate planning. The solution provides companies with planning data - automated, cross-departmental. QVANTUM, based on automatically available planning data and figures from all company areas, can help create valid company plans. These plans are not just based on past data but data that comes directly, automatically, and from other departments, which already contain future planning data.

QVANTUM replaces manual planning processes, to help companies raise their planning and the associated methods to the next level. Controllers can create plans and forecasts for themselves and management very quickly. Agile corporate planning makes it possible to adjust planning at any time based on daily updated information and thus to react to changes in the shortest possible time.

QVANTUM states they aim to develop software for decentralized corporate planning closely to the users' needs. This approach creates flexibility and enables complex planning tasks to be managed.

The vendor offers use cases on how QVANTUM can support a company through planning and controlling tasks:

Operations Planning

A company's success depends directly on production and its delivery capability. An efficient supply chain control prerequisite is a smooth alignment between sales and operations. With agile business planning, a company has maximum transparency across all planning data and all business departments. Individually adaptable to the business area, QVANTUM can correlate, link, evaluate and prepare the centrally available data as desired.

Sales Planning

The customer is the crucial figure in this complex task, from production to availability of the product or service. Sales are the sensor system of a company. Still, they can only help if the planned sales data is always up-to-date and readily available—the data needed in sales and all units involved in production (operations). In the best case, however, planning is a two-way street; the production-related units also provide planned figures, which in turn find their way into an optimized sales plan. Those who succeed in this alignment between Sales and Operations (S&OP Alignment) will benefit from satisfied colleagues in all departments and long-lasting customer relationships.

Personnel Cost Planning

Companies are apprehensive about a shortage of skilled workers and cost pressure but need more transparency in personnel costs. With QVANTUM's operational personnel cost planning, the user can monitor personnel costs in a rolling manner. Identify bottlenecks or overcapacity at an early stage to be able to take action quickly.

Some use cases that demonstrate how QVANTUM has been helping companies succeed.

SALOMON FoodWorld reduces their planning effort

For SALOMON FoodWorld as a food specialist, smooth planning is essential - but consistent data and high material effort have slowed down controlling.

With the help of QVANTUM, SALOMON FoodWorld established a flexible and automated planning process to reduce the time required.

ONSKINERY reduced the planning period from 1.5 months to 5 days.

ONSKINERY is an expert in digital sales opportunities of legwear, i.e., socks, stockings, and more. Reliable sales planning is crucial for the broad portfolio of the Central Franconian company. This could not be realized with Excel: It took about a month and a half from the output of the Excel spreadsheets to the final planning. The purely administrative effort for the planning process was immense.

With QVANTUM, this planning was achieved in five days.

Because it is deployed from the cloud, QVANTUM has no impact on the existing IT structure in the company. Whether on the PC, tablet, office, or home, the controller and his team are free to choose where and with which device they want to work in QVANTUM Business Planning. Speaking of the cloud: security and compliance play a central role, especially in corporate planning. Therefore, QVANTUM is hosted in the vendor's own German data center in compliance with legal and data protection requirements, where corporate planning is always available, secure, and, above all, legally compliant.
