OMP launches Unison Express to fast-track supply chain planning from ambition to early value
May 27
OMP, a leading provider of AI-powered supply chain planning solutions, today announced the launch of Unison Express™ — an industry-specific, ready-to-deploy planning offering for mid-market companies looking to move beyond the tools and processes they have outgrown. Unison Express enables teams to realize value quickly while establishing a strong planning foundation that scales with their business over time.
From spreadsheets to structured planning
Organizations across industries face mounting pressure to modernize supply chain planning. Yet implementation projects can feel long, costly, and difficult to justify, especially when teams still rely on tools and processes they have outgrown, such as spreadsheets, legacy systems, and manual coordination. The result is higher operational risk and slower, less coordinated decision-making.
Unison Express bridges this gap by providing a complete planning solution out of the box, configured to industry‑specific best practices and leveraging the latest AI advances through UnisonIQ. Teams gain end-to-end visibility by planning consistently across sites and functions, leaving behind fragmented, disconnected ways of working.
Delivering visibility and value from day one
With standardized planning cycles, predefined scenarios for everyday planning decisions, and built-in day-in-the-life guidance, Unison Express delivers early value with predictable timelines and fast adoption. Built on the same foundations as Unison PlanningTM, it reflects more than four decades of OMP's industry experience and allows for seamless extension of capabilities as needs evolve.
"With Unison Express, we packaged proven supply chain planning practices into a true, lean, standardized solution," said Jan Lemmens, Vice President Industry at OMP. "It helps organizations move away from fragmented, manual planning and adopt proven ways of working quickly, with the option to expand on the same platform when their needs evolve."
“With Unison Express, we packaged decades of supply chain planning expertise into a true, lean, standardized solution.”
Proven in real-world environments
With Unison Express, organizations across industries are already delivering results with a standardized, value-first approach to supply chain planning.
In consumer goods, Duvel Moortgat is rolling out Unison Express across three Belgian breweries to professionalize demand planning, operational planning, and scheduling. The project prioritizes fast onboarding and early value realization while building a scalable foundation for future expansion.
In metals, Bekaert implemented a lean, highly standardized planning setup to support a fast-growing business unit, replacing spreadsheet-based coordination with structured S&OP and scenario planning. By maintaining strict scope discipline and focusing on rapid deployment, the organization reached full adoption in a short timeframe while retaining the flexibility to extend capabilities over time.
A predictable path to real results
Unison Express offers a disciplined and predictable path to professionalized supply chain planning. Fixed scope, clearly defined roles, and standardized planning cycles help teams align early and deliver with confidence. Clear in-scope and out-of-scope boundaries protect budget and timeline, so organizations know exactly what is included and when they will go live.
By standardizing onboarding and ways of working, Unison Express accelerates the path to go-live and effective planning. Organizations achieve faster time to value and stronger decision-making, with measurable improvements in service levels, inventory performance, and planner effectiveness within months.
“By standardizing onboarding and ways of working, Unison Express accelerates the path to go live and effective supply chain planning.”
Value today, easily scalable tomorrow
As business complexity grows or planning maturity increases, organizations can scale up from Unison Express to Unison Planning on the same platform, without reimplementation. Processes, configuration, and user experience remain consistent, protecting early investments and enabling growth without disruption.
Unison Express is the right fit for manufacturers in chemicals, consumer goods, and metals today, with OMP actively expanding its industry reach. It is designed for organizations ready to adopt proven planning practices, realize measurable results quickly, and expand their planning capabilities over time, without the cost or complexity of a multi‑year enterprise implementation.
“A strong planning foundation today, with the flexibility to grow on the same platform as business needs evolve.”
