THE DEMO SCRIPT / 03
Pick one product family with a recent stockout and a recent overstock. Ask each vendor to show the forecast, the recommended action per warehouse, who approves it, and the ERP document that results.

o9 primarily markets an enterprise platform for integrated planning. Mid-market teams should confirm the minimum scope, partner requirements, and total cost directly with o9 and compare them with a scoped workflow approach.
Yes. o9 can own the enterprise plan while SOBERAN runs a bounded execution workflow, such as approved replenishment or supplier follow-up, against the ERP of record.
The Sumatec customer story documents demand planning across more than 50,000 SKUs and 80 warehouses, with reviewed purchase and transfer recommendations executed in the customer’s ERP and an audit trail.
SOBERAN publishes plans from $499 to $999 USD per month; the final quote depends on modules and integration scope. Ask o9 for a quote that covers licences, implementation, and partner services for the same workflow scope.
DECISION / 05
Share a SKU family, its warehouses, recent stockouts, and your ERP. We will show the replenishment decision end to end and where an enterprise platform would still add value.
