▼ Summary
– Celonis and Cavalis have partnered to launch a Product Portfolio Optimisation app for manufacturing companies.
– The app provides a real-time, data-driven view of product portfolios to reduce operational complexity and increase revenue.
– It uses AI and process intelligence to define, monitor, and update complex product portfolios in real time.
– A key feature is Bill of Materials decomposition, enabling granular evaluation for cost reduction and standardization.
– The solution addresses challenges like fragile supply chains and helps manufacturers make smarter, faster product decisions.
A new partnership between Celonis and Cavalis introduces a powerful application designed to streamline manufacturing operations through enhanced product portfolio visibility. This innovative tool, the Celonis Product Portfolio Optimisation for Manufacturing app, equips manufacturers with real-time, data-driven insights to cut through operational complexity and drive revenue growth. As part of the Celonis Platform Apps Program, this pre-built solution leverages the robust Celonis Process Intelligence Platform to address specific industry challenges.
Manufacturers today grapple with unpredictable supply chains and volatile costs, making agile decision-making more critical than ever. This application aims to restore a competitive advantage by enabling quicker, more informed choices about product offerings. Already, a major global manufacturer has utilized the app to dramatically accelerate and simplify the alignment of material master data between components and finished goods.
Liam Mawe, Global VP of Industries at Celonis, observed that while artificial intelligence presents tremendous opportunities for manufacturing, many firms fail to harness its full potential where it counts most. He explained, “Our new app bridges this divide. By merging our Process Intelligence with Cavalis’ specialized knowledge, we provide AI with the deep contextual understanding required to define, monitor, and adjust intricate product portfolios instantly, delivering significant financial benefits.”
Fabian Gatzka, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Cavalis, highlighted how the solution transforms a traditionally cumbersome process. “Managing product portfolios has always been a manual and disjointed effort, hampered by isolated data and lack of team coordination. Integrating Celonis Process Intelligence directly into this workflow converts it into a strategic, intelligent asset that produces tangible business results.”
The application aggregates data from diverse sources including procurement, order management, manufacturing execution, and supply chain tracking systems. This integration constructs a dynamic digital twin of a company’s entire product lifecycle. A standout capability is its Bill of Materials (BoM) decomposition, which delivers a detailed analysis of the product assortment. This allows businesses to pinpoint primary cost factors, evaluate how components interrelate, and discover chances for standardization and expense reduction.
Armed with these insights, product managers can refine product rationalization strategies, improve inventory management, and ensure portfolio choices match actual market needs. The principal advantages include greater operational clarity, smarter resource allocation, and strengthened financial performance.
