Nova breaks down the recommendation into its drivers: demand forecast, lead times, safety stock, on-order, and constraints.
The Trace tool lets you drill from the recommendation into every input, override, and data source that shaped it.
Accept, adjust, or escalate with Nova suggesting next best actions and documenting the decision trail.
Nova works alongside each planner, monitoring exceptions, prioritizing decisions, and proposing actions instead of waiting to be asked.
Every forecast, order, and inventory target comes with a clear, plain-language explanation of why the system made that call.
