Supply Chain Planning
Manhattan Associates Inc. has introduced Sightline, a new capability within ActivePlanning, to reveal the reasoning behind AI-driven forecasts, recommendations, and inventory decisions in plain business language.
Sightline brings the “why” behind projected outcomes directly into the application, from a single order line to an entire network. It gives planners forensic-level understanding of the factors shaping forecasts, orders and inventory positions, including forecast inputs, safety stock decisions, vendor minimums, lead times, promotional effects, fulfillment shifts and network movements.
Sightline introduces dynamic, configurable views built around how planners actually work, whether by role, promotion, activity, or a combination of those perspectives. These views across forecasts, order projections, and planned inventory levels are enabled through a new configurable workspace for planners, reducing time spent answering routine “why” questions and eliminating the need for third-party business intelligence tools or Excel.
