Planning and analytics platform

Plan, forecast, optimise and analyse in one platform.

Orthantic helps Finance, Sales, Workforce, Supply Chain and Operations run planning in one platform. Each team gets a planning model that fits the way it works, with integrated forecasting, optimisation and analytics.

  1. Plan Build a structured plan with the right dimensions, hierarchies and business rules.
  2. Forecast Run forecasting in the same platform as the plan.
  3. Optimise Test decisions against real limits like capacity, supply and budget.
  4. Analyse Review KPIs, variances, drivers and scenarios without leaving Orthantic.

Too much planning time goes on manual work.

Many teams still run planning across spreadsheets, email, CSVs and separate tools. That slows the process down and makes every cycle harder than it should be.

  • Collecting and consolidating

    Teams send numbers in different files and formats, so every cycle starts with manual consolidation.

  • Aligning definitions

    Products, regions and cost centres are not always structured the same way, so teams spend time making numbers match.

  • Moving data between tools

    Planning, forecasting and optimisation often happen in different systems. Every handoff means another export, import and review.

  • Starting again each month

    When the forecast starts from a new file every month, teams repeat work before they update the outlook.

  • Producing a second scenario

    If one version of the plan takes too long to build, teams do not get enough time to compare real options.

  • Tracing an assumption

    People spend time tracing where a number came from instead of deciding what to do next.

Keep spreadsheets where they add value.

Spreadsheets are still useful. They are good for quick analysis, one-off work and testing an idea.

Orthantic becomes valuable when planning is shared, recurring and detailed. It gives teams one structure for the plan, easier data exchange and a better way to compare scenarios.

The goal is not to replace every spreadsheet. The goal is to stop using spreadsheets and email as the system that runs the planning process across the business.

Plan, forecast, optimise and analyse in one platform.

Orthantic brings planning, forecasting, optimisation and analytics into the same environment. Teams do not need to move data between separate tools just to keep planning.

A typical arrangement

  1. Planning workbook
  2. Export CSV
  3. Forecasting tool
  4. Export CSV
  5. Back into the workbook
  6. Export CSV
  7. Optimisation tool
  8. Export CSV
  9. Reconcile

In Orthantic

  1. Planning model
  2. Run forecast
  3. Review and adjust
  4. Run optimisation
  5. Updated plan
  6. Analyse

In the first setup, every handoff creates more manual work and more chances for the data to drift out of step.

In Orthantic, forecasting and optimisation are part of the planning workflow. A planner can run them, review the result and keep working without leaving the platform.

This is what you'd actually be working in.

These screens come from a working demo model.

Purpose-built planning for each team.

Every function has different planning needs. Orthantic gives each team a model that fits its own process.

  • Finance and FP&A
    What they plan
    Budgets, rolling forecasts, driver-based P&L, cost allocation, cash flow.
    What changes
    Teams work in one structure, so consolidation is easier and reforecasts take less time.
  • Supply chain
    What they plan
    Demand plan, S&OP, capacity, inventory cover, replenishment.
    What changes
    Planners can run a statistical baseline, apply business judgement and optimise within real constraints.
  • Sales
    What they plan
    Territory design, quota setting, pipeline coverage, commission modelling.
    What changes
    Commercial assumptions flow into the revenue plan, so sales and finance can stay better aligned.
  • Workforce
    What they plan
    Headcount, hiring and backfill, attrition, compensation, cost of workforce.
    What changes
    Headcount and cost stay connected, so HR and Finance do not need separate versions of the same numbers.
  • Marketing
    What they plan
    Channel and campaign budgets, promotion planning, spend against demand.
    What changes
    Teams can reallocate budget and see the impact before they commit to a change.

A production change should not have to travel through email before it reaches the plan.

If a plant manager in Thailand needs to shut a line down for three days of maintenance, that change should be easy to record and easy to review.

The usual route
  1. Email supply chain
  2. Update the spreadsheet
  3. Email finance
  4. Update the forecast
  5. Reconcile
  6. Management report
In Orthantic
  1. Record the shutdown
  2. Production plan updates
  3. Supply and finance inputs
  4. Compare the options

The plant manager records the shutdown in the operations model. The updated production plan can then feed the plans that depend on it, such as supply, inventory, revenue and cost.

From there, the team can compare options. They can accept the shutdown, move production or use inventory, then review the impact before they make a decision.

Ask “what if?” before the business forces the question.

Scenario planning matters because one version of the future is rarely enough. If each version takes too long to build, teams end up making decisions with too few choices.

In Orthantic, a new scenario starts with changed assumptions instead of a rebuilt model. Teams can compare the effect on revenue, cost, inventory and workforce side by side.

Understand the plan, not just the numbers.

Orthantic brings analytics into the same environment as planning. Teams can review KPIs, variances, drivers and scenario comparisons without switching tools.

Reporting helps you understand what happened. Planning helps you decide what happens next. Orthantic helps you do both in one place.

One platform. Multiple planning models.

Separate where it makes sense. Connect where it matters.

Finance, Sales, Workforce and Operations do not all plan at the same level of detail. Each team needs a model that matches its own process.

Orthantic lets each team work in its own model while sharing the outputs that matter, such as volumes, headcount and financial impact.
