As we’ve recently seen, global events can lead to rapid shifts in demand, and traditional business planning often falls short in providing accurate demand forecasts due to separate planning processes and solutions. 📉 Unlike traditional business planning, the SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) tool, powered by SAP S/4HANA and AI, integrates financial, demand, supply, and inventory plans. With features like full supply chain visibility, demand forecasting, and real-time management tools, SAP IBP helps adapt to market changes and optimize resources. 🤝 Read more about SAP IBP in Johanna Hilpinen’s blog post: https://lnkd.in/dSUAg5jZ

Time to get to know our extraordinary colleagues! Up this week is Rachel Valentine. 💙 Rachel is our General Manager for the US, helping support general operations and overseeing HR in the US. She's been with us for almost seven years! "The best thing about Vincit is the people and freedom. I love the team I work with, and everyone that's passed through the doors in the last 7 years. Colleagues are always curious, kind, and fun. Plus, the freedom to 'do as you would' with greater autonomy over your work structure is something I've always appreciated," says Rachel. Alongside work, Rachel volunteers in dog rescuing. In 2022 she fell ill on a work trip to Finland and once back home recovering she wanted some cheering up. At that time her Instagram fed lots of content on shelters and dogs needing adopters or fostering which gave her the idea of fostering while she got better. Luna arrived in 2023, and you could say she is a "failed" foster, as they decided to keep her. Since then, she has been active in the rescue community in SoCal, helping with transporting rescues, and assisting at rescue events, and has also fostered two other dogs. 🐶 Fostering a new dog straight from the shelter is a challenge but really only requires patience and love. Vincit's flexible approach to working from home and flexible hours allows Rachel to consider her foster dogs or volunteering needs. "I'm really grateful to the US team for being supportive anytime I mention I might need to step away for a few hours during the day to volunteer in some capacity," says Rachel. When asked what's the most rewarding part about volunteering in dog rescuing, Rachel mentions the time she gets to spend with new furry friends and knowing she is part of their journey to a better life. The dogs often start in pretty sad states, but getting to help them heal—physically and emotionally—is the most rewarding part. 🧡 If anyone is interested in learning more about the valuable impact of fostering, transporting, or even sharing about rescue work with others, Rachel is always happy to chat!

Today, most companies engage in multi-channel sales, offering products both online and offline. However, multi-channel sales tend to be fragmented, with different teams focusing on developing customer experiences for specific channels. The solution is to move beyond multichannel to omnichannel sales, which offers a better experience for customers. But in order to make this happen, you need to start with a deep understanding of customer expectations, needs, and behavior. In other words, you need a lot of data and advanced analytics.
