Custom Heuristics and Add-Ons

Is your unique business getting the most out of a generic planning solution?

SAP’s PPDS module is a powerful tool, but its full potential is only unlocked with a custom approach tailored to your specific business processes and product particularities.

Unlike other modules that work well with a standard setup, PPDS requires a specialised touch. A great example is the use of custom heuristics, business-specific algorithms designed to automate repetitive tasks with complex logic. This frees your valuable planners to focus on strategic decisions, rather than copying and pasting data to and from Excel.

At Tailored ERP, we believe your planning software should work for you, not the other way around. Our founder, Joaquín Pérez-Barrios, brings over 25 years of experience in developing advanced SAP planning solutions, with a deep understanding of both business challenges and technical complexities.
