How it works
A simple way to build and run planning.
Orthantic helps you bring in your data, define the planning model, run the plan and review the result in one place.
-
Bring in the structure of your business
Set up the dimensions that matter to your plan, such as products, customers, locations, cost centres, accounts and time. Once they are defined, every plan uses the same structure.
-
Define the business logic once
Write the rules behind the plan once. Revenue can be units times price. Workforce cost can be salary plus benefits. The same rule applies across the model.
The formula language is designed to be readable, so the person who owns the number can understand the rule behind it:
Sales Value = "Sales History"["Quantity"] * "SKU Master"["Sales Price"]One rule can be applied across the full planning model.
-
Bring in the data you already use
Load actuals, master data and history from your existing systems. Teams plan on top of that data instead of rebuilding it every cycle.
-
Plan in one shared environment
Enter numbers directly, paste from a spreadsheet, or import a file. Teams can update the plan, review changes and keep working in the same place.
-
Compare options before you decide
Compare scenarios side by side, test decisions against real constraints and share the version of the plan your teams should work from.
What happens when an assumption changes.
Change one input and the plans that depend on it update. Teams can see the planning impact while they are still working through the decision.
Six arrays recalculate in dependency order. Row counts are the shape of a mid-size planning model.
It rebuilds what changed, and leaves the rest alone.
Orthantic tracks how each part of the model relates to the others, so a change updates the plans that depend on it and leaves the rest alone.
That helps teams keep planning moving without rebuilding the whole model every time an assumption changes.
Fifteen arrays across four modules. Change one assumption and only what depends on it rebuilds.
