Align Resources & Constraints to Profitably Satisfy Demand
Rise Above Comlexity to Optimize Your Supply Planning
Put 100% of Your Production Power to Work
Over two-thirds of companies struggle to synchronize their supply resources, inventory, and production capacity. The Atlas Planning Platform helps you turn this on its head and transform supply and master production planning into core competencies. With Atlas, you can model any constraint - production, labor, storage, transportation, sustainability, or even financial - and capture these intricacies with ease. This enables you to create a more realistic plan that optimizes resources and maximizes efficiency.
Constraint-Based Planning for Complex Challenges
- Consider all capacity, resource constraints, and materials availability to improve performance, fulfill customer demands, and capitalize on new opportunities.
- Embrace a flexible supply application to tackle challenges from capacity constraints to unforeseen demand or delays, while meeting operational and sustainability goals.
Advanced Duration and Volume Optimization
- Enhance capacity planning with Atlas’ unique capabilities to handle both discrete and process manufacturing in one solution.
- Longer production cycles? No problem. Atlas enables you to sequence and optimize jobs over extended periods, tackling complexities traditional systems cannot address.
Evaluate Trade-Offs for Better Decisions
- Find the best trade-offs across your constraints – material, labor, plant capacity, sustainability and more, and assess the impact of your decisions.
- Atlas’ AI models and simulates multiple ‘what-if’ production plans accounting for cost, demand, constraints and more to quickly analyze risk and drive growth.
Start. Master material availability and production constraints by integrating capacity and volume data from plants and suppliers.
Evolve. Respond quickly to changing market needs by running multiple scenarios considering material availability, delivery channel constraints and customer service levels for short- and mid-term demand. Deliver a feasible plan to effectively balance assets, inventory and strategies.
Accelerate. Model multi-tier value networks and configure supply and production plans to mitigate risk, extend visibility, and alleviate trade-offs.
Transform. Adopt a decision-centric approach powered by AI and machine learning. Leverage Atlas’ innovative probabilistic planning approach to consider all available options and accelerate confident decisions.

Produce Results Across Your Multi-Plant Network.
Flexible Resource Modeling
Atlas allows you to consider anything from inventory on hand to environmental goals, offering unparalleled flexibility in defining what counts as a capacity constraint, available resource and more. Integrate hard, physical constraints alongside strategic goals, creating a realistic, all-encompassing view of resource planning.
Unify Discrete and Process Manufacturing
Atlas bridges the gap between discrete and process manufacturing needs. Handle both high-speed production lines and longer, sequential processes (such as product aging or fermenting) within a single framework. Optimize production sequencing by modeling availability over longer periods, alongside continuous production.
Triumph Over Trade-offs
Run simulations to make smart trade-offs to handle constraints in equipment utilization, resource availability, production scheduling, and more. Plan for any potential scenario with powerful, integrated “what-if” analysis tools. Model anything from demand spikes to downtimes, and supply disruptions to make better data-driven decisions.
Reduce Your Risk
Link third party suppliers and contract manufacturers to extend your visibility from raw materials to finished goods. Seamlessly manage production between internal facilities and external partners and automatically generate and track orders, transfer materials, and synchronize schedules. The more you can see, the better you can prevent problems and maximize opportunities.
Plan Across Multiple Horizons
Predict and prepare for upcoming impacts on margins, costs and inventory levels by reconciling long-and mid-term production plans on one powerful platform. Atlas aligns long-term objectives with day-to-day production needs to ensure balanced planning across seasonal demands, product lifecycles, and evolving market conditions.
Grow Your Plant Utilization
Maximize available manufacturing throughput by balancing constraints, streamlining scheduling, making smart changeovers, and more.
Be Guided - Not Beaten Up - By Demand
Use demand signals from warehouses, DCs and shipping locations to adjust production plans against real-world material availability, delivery channel constraints, sequence coordination, SLAs, and more.
Practical AI to Make Supply Planning Work for You
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are embedded across the Atlas Planning Platform. We make AI available to everyone, regardless of your role or skill level. We believe AI should be easy to use, easy to understand and easy to demonstrate value.
Experiment-Driven Planning
Evolve your supply chain planning with AI. Atlas’ AI runs thousands of variations of demand and supply changes so you can assess the impact. Optimize your operations over time with Atlas’ experiment-based planning to create, test, and implement new policies based on past performance, market conditions and competitive insights to meet the evolving goals of your business.
End-to-End AI-Powered Probabilistic Planning
Atlas’ AI adds an essential layer of intelligence to your supply planning. Anticipate variations in yield, resource availability, and more to proactively align on policies and enhance decision-making. Model plans, analyze trade-offs and adapt in real-time.
Your Right-Hand Assistant
Atlas Expert Systems review and inspect all of your data to uncover hidden relationships, helping you understand changes in your environment and the broader market. Advance your supply planning with Atlas’ AI models driving deeper, richer insights into your business.

Now that you’ve conquered supply, let’s take a look at the rest of the Atlas Planning Platform.
S&OP
When planning becomes integrated...
The Atlas Planning Platform takes you beyond S&OP by uniting disparate elements of your business into a single powerful process that integrates operational and financial plans to maximize business opportunities and minimize risk.
Atlas starts by integrating your demand and supply data from all sources and granting proper levels of supply chain visibility to all stakeholders. Then it employs collaborative planning, automated workflows, and real-time scenarios to generate valuable insights, understand the financial impact and execute based on strategic goals.
But that’s just the start.
