OMP Launches Unison Express to Fast-Track Supply Chain Planning from Ambition to Early Value

by

Ready-to-deploy solution delivers value quickly through proven industry best practices

ANTWERPEN, BE / ACCESS Newswire / May 27, 2026 / 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.

For a full overview of capabilities, visit the OMP website.

"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.

OMP Ranked in Highest Two Across All Four Use Cases in the 2026 Gartner(R) Critical Capabilities for Supply Chain Planning Solutions: Process Industries

by

ANTWERPEN, BE / ACCESS Newswire / April 30, 2026 / OMP, a leading provider of AI-powered supply chain planning, has been ranked in highest two across all four Use Cases in the 2026 Gartner® Critical Capabilities for Supply Chain Planning Solutions report for process industries. This report, a companion to the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™, evaluates 16 vendors on Critical Capabilities and real-world Use Cases, helping organizations assess how well solutions support different levels of supply chain planning maturity.

This recognition follows OMP’s recent position as highest in Ability to Execute and furthest in Completeness of Vision in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Supply Chain Planning Solutions: Process Industries. Get the full Gartner® Critical Capabilities report.

Consistent strength in real-world planning Use Cases

The critical capabilities that most distinguish supply chain planning (SCP) vendors for process industries from each other in 2026 are AI-driven planning and decision automation, scenario management and financial impact modeling, user experience (UX), and unified data integration.

OMP’s scores place it among the highest two in all four evaluated Use Cases: Supply Planning, End-to-End Multi-enterprise planning, Demand Planning, and Decision-Centric Planning. We believe these results reflect OMP’s ability to support organizations in aligning demand and supply, evaluating trade-offs, and executing decisions in dynamic environments.

"As supply chains grow more complex, the ability to make fast, confident decisions is what separates resilient organizations from reactive ones," says Philip Vervloesem, Chief Commercial & Markets Officer at OMP. "This recognition reflects our focus on decision-centric planning and our commitment to helping customers act with clarity, even in the most demanding environments."

Driving the shift to decision-centric planning

The 2026 report highlights a shift toward decision-centric planning and higher levels of automation, as organizations seek to improve decision speed and quality.

OMP’s Unison Planning platform supports this shift by connecting scenarios, data, and decisions, enabling organizations to evaluate trade-offs and act with confidence. Ongoing innovations such as UnisonIQ and Unison Decision-Centric Planning further enhance explainability, scenario exploration, and automated decision-making.

"Planning is evolving from generating plans to enabling better decisions," says Tom Wouters, Chief Product Officer at OMP. "Our focus is to help organizations increase decision velocity through AI, transparency, and real-time insights."

Built for decision speed and resilience

Supply chain planning solutions play a critical role in improving decision quality, aligning plans across the enterprise, and enabling faster responses to disruption.

OMP supports organizations in translating complexity into faster, more informed, and more resilient decisions.
