The exception queue
Opens on what's off-plan and needs action: buys to place, promises at risk, kits that cannot build, margin moving away from plan.
Decision-first planning platform
Planning that moves at the pace of the signal.
Cadence Plan is the workspace your planners work in. It opens on the exceptions that need a call today, forecasts demand with AI that beats the tools you use now, and posts the approved buys, work orders, and date changes back to your ERP. It runs with NetSuite and Oracle Fusion, powered by Oracle EPM, or on its own.
The base, in every deployment
One workbench. Every planning rhythm.
The planning surface your team works in every day, whether you turn on one capability or the full operating suite.
The plain-language why
Every recommendation carries the drivers, the trailing actuals, and the confidence behind it, so planners trust the call.
AI in the loop
Ask the plan a question in plain English and get an answer grounded in your live data, with the work shown.

Trend, seasonality, promo lift, and the drivers behind the number, on every line. Not a score you take on faith.
The exceptions find you.
AI ranks the SKUs, orders, and plans that need a call today by impact, so planners open on the work that matters.
A plain-language why on any call.
Every recommended buy, reschedule, or reorder shows its reasoning before approval, so nobody rubber-stamps a black box.
The first draft, written for you.
AI drafts the variance narrative from the numbers. The planner edits and signs off instead of starting from a blank cell.
How it fits
One planning solution. Your systems stay in place.
Cadence reads your live plan and operational data, then writes approved actions back. It runs with NetSuite and Oracle Fusion, powered by Oracle EPM, or on its own.

Platform
The planning workspace above the systems of record.
Cadence is not another dashboard. It is the operating surface where planners see the signal, edit the plan, approve the move, and push the decision back to execution.
Cadence Plan
One workbench for the week.
Forecasts, exceptions, scenarios, comments, approvals, and write-back live in one place, so the plan leaves the review as action instead of a follow-up spreadsheet.
Read the signal
Demand, inventory, orders, landed cost, warehouse, workforce, and finance signals come into the same planning surface.
Model the call
Forecasts, scenarios, min/max, MRP, capacity, and margin logic run with the assumptions visible.
Route the work
Cadence turns variance into ranked queues, accountable owners, plain-language reasoning, and approval flow.
Write it back
Approved POs, work orders, dates, quantities, and plan decisions post back to NetSuite or Oracle Fusion.

Every call shows its work.
Drivers, history, confidence, and constraints stay attached to the recommendation.
Approval before execution.
Cadence recommends and drafts. The planner approves before actions hit NetSuite or Fusion.
Transactions, not mystery changes.
The decision, owner, timestamp, and write-back target remain visible after the move.
Solutions
Planning apps with one operating spine.
Start where the planning pain is sharpest, then compose the capabilities around the same Cadence rhythm: Today, Plan, Act, Coordinate, Evaluate.
Capabilities
The operating layer for planning work.
Every deployment includes the same workbench foundation. Then Cadence turns on the capabilities that match how your teams plan, decide, and execute.

Bunny Lead
Push the bunny until it becomes a real system mark.
The bunny is winning because it adds warmth without losing the cadence signal: alert ears, fast response, a planning arc, and a richer red cue. This pass tests friendliness, icon-read, motion, and assistant personality in the same product context.

Ask Cadence
What changed, and what should we do next?
The mark has to feel helpful beside planning decisions, not decorative or childish. Friendly, but still sharp enough for operating software.
Baseline Check
Current baseline next to the selected neutral-dot challenger.
CadencePlanCurrent Baseline
Still the charm leader: stronger character, less generic, and the arc feels custom to the bunny.
CadencePlanNeutral-Dot Challenger
Cleaner and safer on expression; fuller body and softer ears are useful, but it loses some baseline personality.
Original Arc Bunny Refinement
Keep the original arc. Tune the bunny personality.
Neutral face 01
Face treatment tests.
Same fuller-body challenger, but the expression is stripped back: dot, oval, wedge, no-eye, and tiny notch options. Top-left and top-middle are the cleanest reads.
Neutral face 02
Body and ear proportion tests.
Cleaner and more premium, but intentionally restrained. Useful for proving the tiny neutral eye works without cute-expression baggage.
Anti-Playboy 01
Softer ears, fuller body.
Best current safety pass. It keeps the integrated arc and endpoint dot, while pushing the bunny away from sleek head-only or long-ear associations.
Anti-Playboy 02
Baseline evolution tests.
Useful for body and ear proportion, but a few eye treatments are too round and should be rejected if we move forward.
Original arc 01
Visible personality range.
The strongest corrective pass: same integrated arc, same lower-right endpoint dot, but noticeably different ear, cheek, eye, posture, and helper reads.
Original arc 02
Tighter refinement range.
Less divergent and more final-mark oriented. Useful after picking a personality from the wider board.
Prior gauge 01
Warmer helper range.
The gauge stays consistent while the bunny shifts from companion to scout to operator to responder. This is the stronger pass for finding the emotional center.
Prior gauge 02
Cleaner premium range.
More restrained, more icon-like, and less mascot. The top-left and bottom-middle feel especially useful for friendly-but-adult.
Prior gauge 03
Warmer advisor range.
More companionable and calm. Best for testing whether the brand can feel helpful without getting cute.
Prior gauge 04
Operator and response range.
Sharper silhouettes and more motion. Best for testing how much speed the mark can carry while staying warm.
Prior wide pass
Silhouette reference.
Still useful as a posture reference, but the new speedometer passes have the stronger Cadence system.
Challenger Pass
Octopus and rabbit, translated into the same system.
Octopus Hub
Least creature-like. Good coordination metaphor; maybe too abstract for a helper.
Octopus Network
Planning routes and many inputs without eyes. Better than literal octopus for brand safety.
Hare Motion
Strongest rabbit-family motion mark. Warmth plus speed, but less meaning-specific than bird.
Ear Signal
Most abstract rabbit option. App-icon potential, but may be too clever without context.
Helper System
Octopus as the in-app intelligence layer.
Ask Cadence
Octopus brings back the useful-helper personality: many inputs, many arms, coordinated planning. It may work better as the assistant/avatar than as the company mark.
Master brandIn-app helper
Backup Territories
Keep these around, but stop giving them equal oxygen.
Signal
Safest fallback if the bird becomes too decorative.
Friendlier Bunny
Active refinement: softer cheek, gentler posture, richer red signal dot.
Softer Bunny
Previous softer control. Slightly sharper and less plush than the active version.
Previous Bunny
Sharper and more iconic. Keep as the control until the softer version clearly beats it.
Hare
Motion path if hummingbird feels too delicate.
