Exceptional: AS&OP Conference & Training by Carol Ptak in Paris → Join Wiser Together Europe 2026
Your Team Already Built the Tools Your Planning System Couldn't
CommWise lets teams build the tools they need on live planning data, inside the systems they already use. Each app has an owner, a version and a clear purpose.
managed ERP connectors.
Live data, not last night's export.
Every Planning Team Knows Where the System Stops
The Monday spreadsheet. The report stuck with IT. The consultant configuration nobody wants to touch. The calculation that only works because one person knows the exception.
These aren't signs of resistance. They're signs the system can't safely adapt to how your business actually works.
isn't a workaround. It's your best people taking back control.
80% of Planning Is Standard. The Other 20% Is Your Business.
Most planning is common: buffers, priorities, forecasts, schedules. The difference is the 20% that reflects how your business actually works.
Keep the core simple. Build the part that's specific to you at the edge, without adding complexity to the platform.

Small Tools That Do One Thing Your Business Needs
It starts in b2wise. It doesn't have to end there.
Build small, specific tools on live planning data, with the same data and rules across the systems your teams already use.

Your zones, your colours, the view your buyers actually use.
Supplier scorecard

Expedite-request workflow
Raise, approve and log an expedite without an email chain.
Noise diagnostic
Spot the signals that move a buffer for no real reason.
Custom planning algorithm
A rule specific to your product family, running on live data.
One-off connector
A feed from the one system nobody else uses.
AI Stance
AI as designer, not decider.
Use AI to draft the app. Keep people in charge of the plan. Three questions worth asking any vendor.
Who is it deciding for?
Ask the vendor whether AI proposes changes for a planner to review, or executes them on its own.
Can you see what it changed?
Every generated app should be readable, versioned and reversible by the people who own it.
Whose name is on the plan?
When the plan is questioned, it's your name on it, so a person must stay accountable.
Freedom for Planners, Control for IT
Speed without governance becomes shadow IT. Governance without speed becomes another bottleneck.
CommWise gives business teams room to build what they need, with ownership, visibility, versioning, review and lifecycle control built in. Edge apps stay outside the core runtime, so the system you support stays stable and upgrades stay upgrades.
IT still owns data access and connector contracts. The difference is approving a governed environment once instead of managing dozens of requests.

Ready for Easter peak with eight weeks to go.
We were able to adequately prepare for our Easter peak with only 8 weeks to go when we thought we had no chance. The biggest challenge I had wasn't getting the system to work, it was convincing the business that the problem we had been struggling over for months internally was solved in a matter of days.
