A telecom leader with three divisions runs a global supply chain data hub on Lima, with enterprise-wide vendor supply planning and analytics, global allocation planning, demand prioritisation and planning data maintenance.
Allocation decisions across divisions needed the same view of supply and prioritised demand, and the planning data that decides priorities lived in spreadsheets.
Lima became the global SCM data hub, and the allocation process became a collaborative app: planning, sourcing, sales and the divisions at their levels, the ranked demand and the projected supply on one screen, and the allocation decisions written back to the planning and execution systems. Planning data, the priorities and the rules, is maintained in a master-data app with levels per function.

The room opens on projected stock per critical item; the ranked customer orders are allocated on screen; pull-ins and date moves are signed by level and written back. The planning data app keeps priorities and rules versioned and logged.
Three divisions allocate on the same live view of supply and demand.
Priorities and rules kept in a versioned app, replacing spreadsheets.

Put the planning data app first: the room is only as good as the priorities and rules it reads.
