Instant access
Start planning on your own data in under 10 minutes
Horizon Instant removes the old enterprise software gate. Register, verify with OTP, create an org, upload planning data, let AI transform it, run the models, and open a live planning workspace before a traditional vendor would schedule the first demo.
How it comes alive
From registration to a live planning workspace in a few clicks
Horizon Instant is built for the moment a demand planner wants to stop watching a software demo and start testing the platform on their own data.
Try Instant
A planner clicks into the self-serve path and sees the real product immediately, not a gated brochure or a sales calendar.
No demo queueOTP Verify
The user receives a one-time password, verifies access, and creates a secure account without waiting for an admin-led setup.
Secure signupAuto Demo
Horizon opens a guided walkthrough with realistic planning scenarios so the user understands the workspace before uploading anything.
Instant contextCreate Org
The user names their company workspace, chooses the first planning area, and gets a private org ready for real data.
Own workspaceUpload Data
Sales history, product master, customer, location, calendar, inventory, and transaction files can be dropped into one intake lane.
Files acceptedAI Transform
AI maps fields, repairs hierarchy issues, validates keys, explains missing data, and prepares a planning-ready dataset.
Data cleanedModels Run
Forecasting, segmentation, alerting, and exception models run on the user's own data so the workspace is grounded in reality.
Models livePlan Live
The planner lands in Horizon with forecasts, exceptions, actions, and a working planning cockpit built from their uploaded data.
Ready to planDemand overview, instantly
The first live view opens where demand planners actually work
After upload, Horizon Instant builds a Demand Overview-style workspace from the user's own history, customers, SKU-location combinations, actual sales, forecast baselines, and planner overrides.
- Version, horizon, monthly view, and units are preconfigured from the uploaded planning calendar.
- Actual sales, one-year history, forecast OC, and planner line appear in one demand chart.
- The grid opens by SKU code, location, customer, and month with editable values and variance markers.
- Filters, alerts, and AI recommendations are ready so planners can start reviewing exceptions immediately.
AI data transformation
The hard part happens in the background
Most planning tools ask teams to clean data before value appears. Horizon Instant makes data preparation part of the product experience.
Source profiling
Detect grains, date fields, duplicates, blanks, and strange values before the model sees the data.
Field mapping
Map messy source names like Sold-to, Customer Code, SKU, Material, Plant, DC, and Calendar into planning entities.
Hierarchy repair
Fix product, customer, location, and channel hierarchies so rollups reconcile across levels.
Validation checks
Flag broken keys, missing weeks, impossible quantities, currency mismatches, and outlier demand.
Model readiness
Create the clean baseline table, master-data spine, and model features required for forecasting and alerts.
Audit trail
Show what Horizon changed, what it assumed, and what the planner approved before publishing.
Why it matters
Supply chain planning software has always hidden behind the demo
Horizon Instant changes the buying motion. A planner can prove value with real data while the pain is fresh, instead of waiting through weeks of qualification, sandbox setup, and sample-data theatre.
Watch before you touch.
- Book a meeting before seeing the product.
- Use a polished sample dataset that hides real data problems.
- Wait for consultants to configure the first planning view.
- Discuss implementation before planners can judge usefulness.
Touch before you buy.
- Register, verify, and enter the product immediately.
- Upload real planning data and see what Horizon can do with it.
- Let AI transform messy files into a planning-ready model.
- Open forecasts, alerts, and actions in minutes.
Demand planner resonance
Built for the reality of the first planning hour
Messy files are normal.
The upload can include inconsistent product codes, renamed customers, missing weeks, and odd one-off orders. Horizon shows what needs attention instead of silently producing a fragile forecast.
The first forecast must be explainable.
A planner needs to know why a baseline moved, which data was excluded, which model won, and which items require human judgement before sharing with sales or supply.
Value appears when action appears.
Instant access is not just seeing charts quickly. It is reaching a workspace where exceptions, alerts, and next steps are already organized for the user.
Horizon Instant
Planning software that lets people try the real thing
Try Instant is the direct path into OTP signup, org creation, upload, AI transformation, model run, and a live planning workspace. The point is simple: planners should reach the real workflow before they are asked to commit to a vendor-led demo cycle.
