Supply chain network design professionals or planners often find themselves working solo on their models. However, continuous success in supply chain network design and planning hinges on effective collaboration. Sophus enables teams to work on the same model or data workflow simultaneously. With multiple roles such as super user, planner, and viewer, it truly facilitates team collaboration. This not only enhances cooperation but also ensures everyone is on the same page, fostering continuity and mutual understanding.
