Frequently Asked Questions

Blueshift ONE is an integrated business planning (IBP) platform for FMCG companies. It connects demand planning, Trade Promotion Management (TPM), Trade Promotion Optimisation (TPO), Joint Business Planning (JBP), budgeting and BI so teams can work from one consensus number: a connected volume and financial P&L forecast.

Blueshift is designed for FMCG companies, manufacturers, and distributors who need to optimise their planning processes. Our platform serves demand planners, sales account managers, finance, and claim teams across organisations of all sizes.

In IBP, one consensus number means the business is aligned to one agreed forecast instead of multiple competing spreadsheets or departmental versions. Blueshift ONE connects demand, trade, sales and finance so the same plan drives both volume and financial P&L decisions.

Blueshift offers a comprehensive suite of features including Demand Planning, Trade Promotion Management (TPM), Trade Promotion Optimisation (TPO), Sales P&L Forecasting, Budgeting, Joint Business Planning (JBP), scenario modelling, reporting, BI and seamless integration with your existing ERP and data systems.
