Your ERP started as an all-in-one solution, but as supply chain complexity grows, it may no longer be enough. Neos by Argon & Co identifies five clear signs it's time to explore a purpose-built planning platform.

The biggest indicators include: your team regularly exports data to spreadsheets for real planning work; you can't quickly model 'what-if' scenarios when suppliers go offline or demand shifts; you're constantly reacting rather than planning ahead; your growing business outpaces the system's capability; and your best planners spend time fixing data instead of making strategic decisions.

Over 60% of companies using ERP-native planning rely on offline spreadsheets for scenario analysis. When planners say "the system won't let us do that," it's a signal the tool is slowing you down rather than enabling you.
