We saw the shortage coming weeks before we ran out.

Plan the forecast by customer and item, and a shortfall shows up early. Ask, and the requisition is drafted from your own supplier records. A person approves every order.

How it works

How a forecast becomes an approved order

Each Module does one job, in this order.

1 It connects

  • ERP
  • Forecast spreadsheet
  • Supplier list

2 What runs, and what it does

  1. Demand PlannerPlans the forecast by customer and item, and turns a coming gap into a reorder recommendation.
  2. BuyerWhen asked, names the part and the quantity short, and drafts the requisition.
  3. Supplier RegistryHolds one record per supplier, so every requisition picks from the same list.
  4. Approval QueueHolds each drafted order for a person. Approve it, or reject it and it never happens.

Work the forecast in plain sentences

The Demand Planner is a worksheet by customer and item, period by period. The Buyer reads the same demand, stock and open orders your team already keeps.

  • Change one customer's number and the totals recompute as you type
  • Type a rule the way you'd say it. No formula.
  • Test a change in a scenario before you publish it
  • A snapshot keeps the version you published
  • If the first supplier can't make the date, the Buyer names a second source
