FreightMatrix Advanced Analytics is designed to provide a way to create a multi-perspective view of i2 plan and execution data, as well as the ability to "drill down" to a detailed level in order to do a root-cause analysis. i2 Performance Manager addresses the integrated analytics requirements of i2 products by focusing on the interdependencies among the overall processes of anticipating market demand, positioning enterprise resources to meet demand, and fulfilling demand as it is realized.

Plan accuracy
FreightMatrix Advanced Analytics data model allows a planner to bring actual data from execution systems to conduct "plan-to-actual" comparisons and to determine plan accuracy or changes required in the planning process. For example, forecast accuracy or projected versus actual procurement can be reviewed.

Plan trending
FreightMatrix Advanced Analytics maintains the history of plans as well as execution data in the data warehouse, thereby enabling the plan trending or historical analysis reports such as a forecast waterfall report.

Multi-dimensional analysis
FreightMatrix Advanced Analytics uses multi-dimensional star schema/data warehouse as the underlying data model to provide visibility into plan data. Plan outputs are available at most detailed dimension levels including SKU, day, or plants. The multi-dimensional capability of FreightMatrix Advanced Analytics allows the planner to navigate the data at a higher level for categories such as product groups, distribution center, and month. This allows slicing/dicing of data by different dimension, resulting in being able to drill down into specific details in case of an exception.
