Simulate · S&OP and IBP
Standardise the weekly planning cycle with structured meetings, simulation, allocation and materials planning. Test decisions in a sandbox before they touch the real plan.
S&OE and S&OP
Daily execution and the planning cycle are different loops
S&OP · the weekly loop
Horizon set by the cycle, from short term to IBP. Consensus across teams, each decision with an owner. Published as one approved plan.
S&OE · the daily loop
Today and tomorrow, decided in hours. Shortages, substitutions and customer calls, owned by the people closest to the stock.
Neither loop replaces the other.
The weekly cycle
One rhythm, three beats · weekly or monthly
Receive and review
New forecasts, arrivals and stock land in the grid. Prepare and send the decision pack: KPI snapshot, alerts and the proposed agenda.
The S&OP meeting
Review indicators, run simulations live, make decisions (each one logged with an owner), approve the scenario.
Execute and close
Track actions, publish the approved scenario, execute against it. The cycle closes and feeds next Monday.
Daily execution stays linked to the approved plan, whichever rhythm you run.
What it does
Four capabilities, one workspace
S&OP grid
Plan raw materials and finished products in the same grid · every edit cascades in real time.
Simulation and allocation
Expiry-aware allocation with what-if runs · compare, then write the winner back into the plan.
Weekly meeting workspace
Bring the chosen simulation into Meet, review the decision, and capture actions, owners and due dates.
Events register
Promotions, disruptions and quality issues, linked to the grid and the agenda.
All four read the same governed numbers: files, email, ERP and external feeds land once in a traceable, versioned data layer. See the architecture underneath
Decision pack KPIs
The numbers the meeting starts from
Frozen as a snapshot when the decision pack is generated, so everyone argues from the same numbers.
Auto-generated alerts
Raised before anyone asks
Each alert links to the grid rows behind it and to the agenda item it belongs to.
Every decision gets a product tag, an owner and a tracked action · see how Meet closes the loop.

Every run records who, when and which plan version. Simulations write back to the plan only when the meeting approves the scenario.
The IBP link
From volumes to money, in the same view
Toggle the approved scenario from volumes to money: revenue, margin and working capital beside service and waste. That is the first step from S&OP to integrated business planning · the same agreed scenario, reconciled in money.
Scenario W28.2 · the approved response to the yield shortfall · volumes balanced at the product node, FEFO respected.
The same scenario, priced: capping the promotion and buying spot cover holds revenue and lifts margin, and the cost lands in working capital.

Materials planning · MRP
From the day's orders to the fruit behind them
For businesses that transform produce. Each order runs through its recipes and pack specs into the raw material behind it, against supply, shelf life and store space.
Recipes and pack specs
Every order exploded into the raw material behind it, by type and calibre.
Backup recipes, ranked
When one input runs short, an approved backup stands in, and the plan shows it.
Weight bands and giveaway
Bigger fruit may fill a smaller spec, never the reverse. The overfill shows as cost.
Stock that knows its age
Stock, expiry and shortage projected by type and calibre, against shelf life and store space.
Optimise, then apply
The optimiser picks a recipe per product and day, and writes back the plan you reviewed.
A buy list that names what is missing
Shortages pinned to what to buy, by day, with the missed sales beside them.
It runs as a daily operational plan and as a 52-week season plan, and a full season optimises in seconds. Every run lands in the same meeting pack and the same event register as the rest of the cycle.
Interactive example
Watch one short lot reroute the recipe
Pick the packing day and follow the fruit from the raw lots to the packs. Then refuse the backup medley and see what it costs.

Where it runs today
Built with a fresh‑produce trader
Spreafico brings demand, stock, arrivals and prices together in one weekly S&OP meeting.
- Problem
- Demand, stock, arrivals and prices managed in separate functions, with each team working on fragmented information: a significant coordination effort from managers on problems dealt with in day-to-day operations.
- Change
- One weekly S&OP meeting brings them together: opportunities seen while there is still time to choose, volumes and prices decided together, every decision written down with an owner.
- Impact
- Time to act: better buying and less waste, shortages fixed before the customer sees them, and problems that become choices on their own terms.
Volumes and prices are now decided in one weekly S&OP meeting, where we see opportunities while there is still time to choose: better buying, less waste, and shortages fixed before the customer sees them. Raffaele Spreafico · CEO, Spreafico
Bring us the cycle you actually run.
A mature monthly consensus or a shared spreadsheet on a Monday: we will map it onto the platform and name the first milestone.
