About the Webinar

Planning remains one of the most persistent challenges in supply chain and ERP transformation programs. While organizations invest heavily in modern ERP platforms, many still rely on reactive decisions driven by data that is incomplete, inconsistent, or poorly interpreted for planning use.

In this focused session, Cheryl Jeffrey (CEO, Lace Consulting Group) and Sachin Sangle (VP of Engineering, ImpactQA) examine why clean ERP data and disciplined planning processes matter more than system speed or surface-level optimization.

The discussion will explore how organizations can interpret ERP data forensically, structure planning workflows, and build forecasting practices that move beyond operational firefighting toward reliable, forward-looking decision-making across procurement, production, inventory, and logistics.
