In the next few minutes, we will explore the value and power of the Board platform.

Today's organizations operate in a world shaped by constant change,

market shifts, economic pressures, and evolving consumer demand.

Board is designed to help you navigate this complexity with confidence.

At the heart of our approach is a simple but powerful belief: better

decisions start with better signals.

Board's Signals capability gives you access to over eight million

curated external indicators, from macroeconomic trends to

commodity prices and consumer demand shifts.

So your plans are grounded in what the market is actually telling you,

not just what happened in the past.

And throughout every step of this journey, you are guided by persona-based,

context-aware AI agents, intelligent assistants that understand your

role, your priorities, and what you need to do next.

The result is an organization that plans together.

Board connects finance and operations in a continuous, enterprise-wide planning

experience within a single enjoyable platform.

Let's see this in action. Welcome to the Board Enterprise

platform, your starting point for connected decision-making.

From here, every business process is within reach.

Financial consolidation, financial planning, merchandise planning,

supply chain, all connected, all aligned, and it all

begins with external signals. Here, executives and analysts

alike can explore external market movements by region, by

industry, by segment, gaining a forward-looking perspective that

sharpens every decision. Whether you are tracking a specific market or

monitoring sub-industry dynamics, Board surfaces the indicators that

matter most, showing you where the market is heading.

These are not generic data feeds. They are curated by a dedicated team of Board

economists who select from over eight million indicators those most

relevant to your industry and market context.

Pricing trends, commodity movements, macroeconomic conditions,

all organized to give you a clear outlook for the quarters ahead.

Critically, these signals act as leading indicators, showing how long

before a market shift reaches your business so you can act early,

not reactively.

You can benchmark your plan, test products and segments against market trends,

and understand how your performance aligns with broader market dynamics.

This is what it means to plan with external intelligence at your fingertips,

and these signals flow through the entire platform, informing every

plan at every level, starting with strategic planning.

Here, macroeconomic signals from Board's 4Sight engine combine with

baseline growth assumptions and strategic initiatives to create a

comprehensive view of your future.

Each initiative layers on top of predictive analytics and market assumptions,

giving leadership a clear picture of what is possible.

You can model upside and downside scenarios, selecting which initiatives to

include, mixing and matching options to compare their impact against

the baseline. And you can isolate the contribution of each individual

initiative so strategic choices are made with clarity and

confidence. That strategic direction flows directly into the annual

budget. From the homepage, we move into the budgeting and planning

workflow, where strategic targets become financial commitments.

This is a collaborative process engaging planners at every level, from

local teams to regional groups, ensuring alignment across the

organization. Workflow capabilities guide each planner through what

needs attention: revenue models, cost planning, asset

models, so nothing falls through the cracks.

And when guidance is needed, the AI agent steps in,

recommending the next steps required to complete the 2027 budget

tailored to the individual user's context.

Planners can follow those recommendations or navigate directly to the model they

want to work on. Revenue planning, for example, opens with highly

visual interactive dashboards. Every chart is explorable.

Drill down, filter, and adjust to find the insight you need.

External econometric forecasts from Board Signals and 4Sight sit

alongside internal plans so planners can compare historical

performance, current plans, and market-driven projections in a

single view. All versions converge toward a consensus plan,

keeping every stakeholder aligned.

For those who need granularity, Board supports planning at the individual product

level with both top-down and bottom-up approaches.

Numbers can be entered manually, cells can be locked to protect top-down

allocations, and the experience remains intuitive throughout.

At any point, the AI agent is available, surfacing what needs

attention, highlighting priorities, and recommending where to focus

next. This is AI working the way it should: as a trusted

assistant for every planner.

So far, we have seen external signals inform the strategic plan, which

sets the targets for financial budgeting.

Now, let's follow that thread further from financial plans to operations.

Back on the homepage, we move into merchandise planning, where financial

targets become operational reality.

In this operational view, I can assess my merchandise plan, how frequently

orders must be placed to meet financial targets, as well as assortment decisions:

which sizes, which products, and how to manage allocation and replenishment

strategies. Board moves seamlessly from a financial plan to a

category plan to any granular level of detail, all

within the same platform. Planners can compare the financial plan against the

operational category plan and benchmark both against the 4Sight

predictive model, investigating any detail the moment

requires. Drill down to subcategories: T-shirts, yoga

pants, individual SKU, and from there, shift to a

weekly planning view where operational decisions are made with

precision. With the merchandise plan in place, attention turns to

supply. How do we fulfill this demand?

Different stakeholders, different needs, all addressed within a single connected

solution. Planners can assess inventory health, identify

gaps between demand and supply, and prioritize accordingly.

And once again, the AI agent is here.

Pre-built agents help surface capacity constraints, flag critical gaps,

and prepare teams for the decisions that matter most.

All of this planning—strategic, financial,

operational—comes together in one place.

With Board's analytics, all charts are interactive, allowing us to filter

views, such as comparing current data to budget figures or reviewing

multiple data versions. Value creation trees, for instance, let

us break down key metrics, such as margin, into components like

volume and revenue. Every element is interactive, so we can drill

down to specific details, such as sales by manager.

We can also track operational metrics, such as reviewing the distribution network

for a specific manufacturing site in Europe.

Within the European hub, we have access to several distribution

centers and can drill down to see all the customers each center serves.

We can also leverage geographical objects to understand capacity in different

regions. For example, we might see that in Mexico, there is a

capacity issue. At this point, we can drill further into different

channels to identify where the problems are.

Lastly, Board's capabilities extend to financial consolidation as

well. Management and statutory consolidation are fully integrated,

accessible directly from the home page.

Actuals and budgets can be consolidated, data imported from any external

system, movement schedules created, and intercompany transactions reviewed,

all within the same platform. The intercompany cockpit provides a clear view

of all declaring entities and their relationships—Spain, Germany,

the Americas—across payables, receivables, local,

and transactional currency. Tolerance thresholds, attachments,

explanations, and declaration statuses are all visible and

manageable in one place. And as usual, AI agents are on

hand to flag areas requiring attention, whether at the local entity or

group level.

Let's reflect on what we've seen. Too often, organizations plan in silos,

relying only on internal data. Board Signals changes that by bringing

professionally curated external signals directly into the planning

process. AI agents support every step—planning,

consolidation, and reporting—helping users analyze, model,

and act faster. All of this is delivered through a modern,

intuitive platform with rich visualizations, built on a powerful

multidimensional foundation that connects strategy, finance, operations,

and supply chain planning in one truly collaborative experience.
