Putting the “Custom” “App” in “Customer” “Happiness” – New Customizations brought to Algo.

Algo’s platform houses various applications helping you optimize functions across their supply chain. Each one provides its own unique value, and Algo understands that you want to prioritize your view by what you need the most or use more frequently.

With a user centric goal in mind, Algo has introduced various customization options allowing everyone to customize their home screen, menu, reports and workspaces. Let’s read about these changes in detail!

Custom Visuals and KPIs for Demand Planners 

We’ve innovated our graph views to allow users maximum flexibility when they’re working with forecasts. Why fuss with numbers when you can edit forecasts directly on the graphs and leverage true visual planning? You can also edit your planners to display the most important KPIs front and center, never missing a beat. 

  • Editable Graphs: Simply toggle the graph from “View to “Edit, and the editable plots will appear in dotted lines. You can click and drag the editable plot lines to adjust your forecast as you see fit. The edited information is supported at all hierarchical levels, reflecting changes made across the entire planner. 

  • Dynamic Tiles: Each planner allows you to highlight up to 4 KPIs from the data. These KPIs make it easier for you to focus on the important data without being drowned in endless rows and columns. Users can also save their preferred KPIs as a profile to select in just two clicks whenever they set up a new demand planner.
