What it does
o9 Solutions is a supply chain and business planning platform, sold as the Digital Brain. It holds one shared model of a company's supply chain, demand, and finance data. Planners use it to forecast demand, balance supply, and run what-if scenarios, and teams in sales, finance, and operations work from the same numbers instead of separate spreadsheets. The platform uses AI and machine learning to spot patterns and suggest actions. Admins connect it to ERP systems like SAP and Oracle. In January 2024, o9 acquired Elementum, a supply chain control tower company, adding real-time execution tracking to its planning tools. Implementations often run for several months and use outside integration partners.
Where it can help
This fits a company that plans across many product lines or regions, and helps most when finance, sales, and supply chain teams use separate tools today and want one shared view. A good starting point is one planning cycle, such as demand and supply matching, adding pricing or promotion planning later. o9 does not publish list prices; treat a cost in the high six figures to low seven figures per year as a planning estimate and confirm the real quote with o9 directly. Expect the project to take several months and to need an outside systems integrator. The main risks are a long rollout and heavy reliance on that integrator's skill, and a smaller team may find the platform more than it needs.

Risk profile
Required controls
Security and safe use
Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.
Exit and rollback
Review before rollout: confirm how to export your data, revoke access, and return to your existing workflow. Assign an owner and test the rollback plan before expanding use.
Recommended next step
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
