Naïri Kurdoghlian, CMO and Yacine Zeroual, CEO

With this evolution, Sunstice introduces Structured Agility™, a new operating framework for SCP and RGM, designed to help organizations adapt and perform amid permanent uncertainty.

Supply Chain Planning Must Evolve in a World of Permanent Disruption

Volatility is no longer episodic. It has become systemic.

Geopolitical instability, climate events, demand fragmentation, and margin pressure are reshaping supply chains at speed. Traditional planning models are reaching their limits. Sequential cycles, predefined horizons, and periodic replanning can no longer keep pace with how quickly disruptions now propagate across global networks.

Planning is no longer a support function.
It has become a core driver of business performance.

Why Sunstice and Structured Agility™

The rebrand from FuturMaster to Sunstice reflects this shift.

The name Sunstice combines sun and solstice to evoke a point of balance: clarity and motion, structure and adaptability, stability and evolution. It expresses a simple conviction. Performance does not come from choosing between structure and agility, but from deliberately embedding both.

This is Structured Agility™, Sunstice’s new operating framework. It is designed to adapt and perform amid permanent uncertainty. It provides organizations with a planning foundation built not for optimization in stable conditions, but for continuous disruption.

Structured Agility™ spans supply chain planning and revenue growth management through five core capabilities:

Together, these capabilities allow organizations to adapt continuously, without losing alignment or discipline.

The Sunstice Platform

Sunstice delivers Structured Agility™ through an end-to-end platform that orchestrates demand and supply planning, S&OP / IBP, production scheduling, and revenue growth management, including pricing, promotions, and portfolio decisions.

It combines advanced optimization, automation, applied AI, scenario modeling, and network-based technologies. This enables deliberate, value-driven trade-offs as conditions evolve.

Beyond technology, Sunstice emphasizes adoption and durability. The company works in close partnership with its customers, prioritizing co-design, predictable delivery, and secure integration.

Built on Experience. Designed to Last.

With more than 30 years of expertise in supply chain planning and trade promotions optimization, Sunstice supports over 650 companies worldwide, with 70% in partnerships lasting more than 10 years.

This brand evolution reinforces the company’s long-standing commitment to client success. It clarifies who Sunstice has become and reflects its expanded scope, particularly following the 2025 PlaniSense Scheduling solution acquisition. It also underscores how Sunstice helps organizations perform in a world that no longer stands still.

“Disruptions are now instantly systemic. The transformation of FuturMaster into Sunstice reflects how our clients’ reality has changed. Planning itself must evolve to remain relevant. Performance can no longer rely on static planning models. With Sunstice Structured Agility®, we are defining a planning foundation designed for continuous performance under permanent uncertainty.”

Yacine Zeroual, Chief Executive Officer, Sunstice

“Sunstice is not just a new name. It’s a clearer expression of who we are and how we help our clients perform. We wanted a brand that reflects balance in motion: structure without rigidity, agility without chaos. Sunstice captures the point of clarity leaders need to make confident decisions in a world in constant motion.”

Nairi Kurdoghlian, Chief Marketing Officer, Sunstice

NEW YORK (AP) — Some of New York's biggest basketball heroes were second-round draft picks.

Like Jalen Brunson, the guy marching through Manhattan with the Larry O'Brien Trophy in his arms last week during a joyous parade celebration. And Willis Reed, the guy who limped into Game 7 of the NBA Finals to lift the Knicks to their first championship.

So when the NBA draft resumed Wednesday night with the Knicks on the clock with the No. 31 pick, every team had hope of finding someone who can be a key piece of a title team.

They drafted Ohio State guard Bruce Thornton, but had already agreed to trade the rights to the pick to Houston by the time NBA deputy commissioner Mark Tatum announced the selection.

Thornton was given a Knicks hat when his name was announced. He was wearing a Rockets one by the time he arrived for his interviews.

He was just happy to get to the NBA, even if it was in Texas and not with the new champions.

“No state tax, so that's even better,” said Thornton, Ohio State's career scoring leader.

The first round, which began with Washington selecting AJ Dybantsa, finished late Tuesday night.

In a much different NBA with a different draft format, Reed was the No. 8 pick in the 1964 draft, which made him the first pick of the second round. The Hall of Famer went on to lead the Knicks to championships in 1970 and 1973 and was the NBA Finals MVP both times.

Brunson was the No. 33 pick in the 2018 draft, taken early in the second round by the Dallas Mavericks. The Knicks signed him as a free agent in 2022 and the franchise hs been on the rise ever since, culminating with their five-game victory over the San Antonio Spurs earlier this month when Brunson was MVP of the series.

Among the other well-known names taken early in the second round were Richie Saunders, Dybantsa's BYU teammate who was taken at No. 32 by Memphis; Duke's Isaiah Evans, who went undrafted in the first round and was selected at No. 33 with a pick belonging to Minnesota; and Purdue's Braden Smith, the NCAA's career assists leader, who was taken at No. 38 by Chicago.
