Slimstock and Vena join forces to connect supply chain planning and financial planning

Slimstock, a global leader in supply chain planning, will launch a strategic partnership with Vena, the only agentic AI-powered FP&A platform built on the Microsoft technology ecosystem. This collaboration unites Slimstock’s strength in Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) with Vena’s Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) capabilities to help organisations to further close the gap between operational plans and financial outcomes.

In today’s fast-changing business environment, alignment between finance and supply chain functions is more critical than ever. The Slimstock and Vena partnership bridges this gap, empowering business leaders with a unified view of operational and financial performance. Together, the two platforms enable better decision-making, greater agility, and improved business outcomes.

“Finance and supply chain can no longer operate in silos. Historically, the office of finance joined supply chain discussions only after the fact, but today they must move forward together. Connecting Slimstock’s S&OP platform with Vena’s FP&A expertise gives leaders a unified view of how operational decisions drive financial performance and sets the stage for the next generation of integrated business planning.” – Ruben Zomerdijk, Head of Partnerships NA, Slimstock

Through this partnership, Slimstock and Vena are helping customers transform how they plan, forecast, and respond to market shifts; all while maintaining a single source of truth for data and decision-making.

“We’re excited to partner with Slimstock to advance our shared vision for Integrated Business Planning. As organizations look for ways to connect supply chain strategy with financial performance, this partnership brings together Slimstock’s industry-leading supply chain expertise and Vena’s AI-powered planning platform built for the Microsoft technology ecosystem. Leveraging Vena and our focus on Excel as the foundation to any analytics strategy, together we’re helping customers achieve greater agility, visibility and performance across their entire business.” – Shaun Jansen, SVP, NA Sales, Vena.

This collaboration marks a key milestone in the evolution of Integrated Business Planning (IBP), blending financial intelligence with operational execution to help companies plan with confidence and precision.
