How Artificial Intelligence Is Already Transforming S&OP — and the Potential That Still Exists
The Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) process aims to align sales, operations, and finance departments around an integrated and feasible plan. More than a monthly agenda, S&OP is a continuous cycle that seeks to anticipate the future and prepare the organization to meet it efficiently. Today, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already a reality in parts of this process — especially in demand planning. But its potential goes further: as we evolve in analytical maturity and in the integration between teams and data, AI can become a central gear for faster, more accurate decisions aligned with business reality.
