Silicon Labs embarked on a journey to automate the company’s forecasting processes and create a single system for demand forecasting. After a thorough exploration of solution providers, Silicon Labs chose to implement the o9 Solutions platform based on its ability to address demand, supply, and sales and operations planning (S&OP).“With our implementation of o9’s technology, we now have a single platform for managing our forecasts across our planning horizons,” said Everett Plante, CIO at Silicon Labs. “Our prior solution lacked the agility that our business demands, hindering our ability to respond. With o9 Solutions, we have much greater transparency into forecast changes including insights into units, pricing and customer changes. The o9 platform gives us unprecedented levels of collaboration and efficiency in forecasting, dramatically improving the way we work.”
