Allocation and order promising

Consume forecast, manage orders and material flows smartly

Deal efficiently with order promising and forecast consumption, material allocation, quota management, and pegging.

Forecast consumption

Accurate and precise

Reconcile demand forecasts with actual sales orders using relevant business rules. Supply accurate demand signals to your planners.

Material allocation

Attribute to optimize

Make optimal or rule-based combinations of materials and orders, based on their attributes or characteristics, in industries such as metals, packaging, and life sciences.

Order promising

Performant for MTS and MTO

Promise reliably against requested quantities and delivery dates, based on ATP, CTP, and PTP rules. Anticipate changing demand and seasonal effects (MTS). Optimize expected capacity allocation (MTO).

Quota management

Controlled demand volume allocation

Apply smart business rules to secure product availability. Leverage autonomous promising based on predefined monthly or quarterly demand quotas.

Pegging

Linking individual planning elements

Optimize planning and allocation of batches by propagating demand and supply characteristics such as expiration, certainty, and priority, in real time and across multiple supply chain echelons.

MEIO

Manage your stocks under all circumstances with multi-echelon inventory optimization

Safety stock management

Master complexity

Monitor and maintain safety stocks across distribution and manufacturing nodes, optimizing for both single and multi-echelon modes and against lot-size and decoupling points.

Simulation and analytics

Value optimization

Focus on value

Base plans on business value. Be guided by revenue, margins, profits, cash flow, market share, and more as variables to build decisions on both financial and non-financial parameters.

Industry-specific solvers

Dedicated solvers at the heart of your business

Handle cutting optimization, blending, routing generation, transport scheduling, and more, smartly and effectively.

Transport planning

Optimize route planning and individual truckloads, allocate product to road, rail and sea transport, and identify the best transport providers.

Blending

Calculate the optimal mix of input materials for intermediate products, taking into account material prices, inventories and technological constraints.

Cutting optimization

Look beyond mere waste reduction when tackling cutting challenges with holistic cost optimization, particularly in the packaging and metals industries.

Routing generation

Dynamically generate rule-based production routings for your products, taking into account input materials, machine capabilities and homologation.

User experience

Matching interaction to your needs

Use the right view and navigation for every planning role at each level of responsibility and expertise. Explore the logic of our solvers through to our XAI.

Intuitive UI

Always the right view

Match UI to user roles for faster and more accurate planning, analysis and decisions. Create alignment and transparency with respect to every level of responsibility and expertise. Our straightforward UI provides a common look and feel across your user community while offering the right-fit dashboards and navigation controls at user group or individual level.

Explainable AI (XAI)

Talk to our Einsteins
