Sightline™
Get the answers to your whys, when you want, in the views you want.
The Plan Tells You What Will Happen. Sightline Tells You Why It Happened.
Most planning systems tell you what will happen, what your forecast is, what your orders look like, where your inventory should sit. They don’t tell you the reality of why things landed where they did. Sightline within ActivePlanning™ does.
Why this projection moved. Why this order took the shape it did. Why your stock landed here instead of there.
Sightline explains what actually happened and how it compares to the plan you had, so the gap between the two stops being a mystery.
Forensic detail. Surfaced in seconds.
Sightline is built for the work that consumes most of a planner’s, forecaster’s, or operator’s day: explaining what happened.
It captures forensic-level detail behind every order, forecast inputs, safety stock decisions, vendor minimums, lead times, promotional pulls, fulfillment shifts, network moves, and cuts a clear line through millions of those factors to the answer you need.
Investigate at the level you need: a single order line, a category, a region, a DC, your entire network. Your sightline follows the question.
You don’t have to be a data scientist to find the answer. Sightline surfaces the most important issues automatically and presents them in a form your planners, forecasters, and operations teams can act on, in seconds, not hours.
Trustworthy answers, fast
A powerful decision intelligence layer purpose-built for planning diagnostics, giving planners reliable answers to what the forecast did, why it changed, and what comes next, without the wait.
Diagnostics, not dashboards
Dashboards surface data. Sightline surfaces meaning, revealing the reason every line moved, the downstream impact, and the levers practitioners need to decide with confidence.
One Engine. Endless Lenses.
Every Lens draws from the same engine, so teams configure their own workspaces without fragmenting the plan or creating new silos. Purpose-built Lenses ship ready to use. User-built Lenses extend them without limits.
Three Things to Remember
ActivePlanning runs the plan. Sightline explains it. Lenses make it usable.
Chaos in. Clarity out.
Sightline pulls chaotic signals from across the plan into one clear view, so practitioners spend less time decoding data and more time acting on it.
End the workaround era.
Teams built shadow spreadsheets because the system couldn't flex to their needs. Lenses end that, letting every team configure the exact workspace they need without ever leaving the platform.
Reactive to proactive.
See the biggest disruption coming. Understand its effect before it compounds. Move first. Sightline turns planning from firefighting into foresight.
Reversing the trend toward “more.”
For more than a decade, planning software has trended toward more: more systems, more dashboards, more feeds, more tabs, more views. The result is what teams have come to call the Frankenstack, a layered stack of tools and exports where every decision has to be excavated before it can be made.
Sightline reverses that direction. Rather than adding another tool to the stack, it’s part of ActivePlanning’s DNA, arranging the bench around the line, composed of what matters, cleared of what doesn’t.
