Planforce Supply Chain

Make central-to-regional warehouse replenishment simple: auto-compute safety stock, give daily suggestions, confirm with one click, and consolidate truckloads. Lightweight, fast and explainable — currently at the pilot (POC) stage.

The problems you face today

Replenishment relies on Excel and gut feel, setting safety stock SKU by SKU; net demand recomputed by flipping through tables every day; consolidating full truckloads to save freight is guesswork.

From central to regional warehouses — a closed replenishment loop

Turn the work of “setting safety stock SKU by SKU and recomputing net demand daily” into a closed loop: compute in one click, suggest daily, and confirm by a person.

01
Safety stock
From 12 months of history, by demand pattern + ABC-XYZ + formula (SS=z·σ·√LT), compute each SKU’s level in one click.
02
Daily suggestion
Daily MRP computes how much to replenish; the suggested quantity is editable (up / down / 0).
03
One-click confirm
Confirm to create a transfer order and auto-compute ETA — the decision stays with people.
04
Truck consolidation
Consolidate full truckloads by pallet (First-Fit-Decreasing); drag a slider to see the trips ↔ load-rate trade-off.
From "SKU-by-SKU guesswork" to a closed loop of compute-once, suggest-daily, human-confirm
One-click safety stock
Consistent and explainable — 198 SKUs computed in one click in a pet-food company POC.
Daily suggestions, one-click confirm
Daily MRP suggestions, editable, can be set to 0; confirm to create the transfer order and auto-compute ETA.
Consolidate truckloads
Consolidate full truckloads by pallet; clearly see the trips vs load-rate trade-off — save freight without guessing.

What the POC delivered

Where AI stops (an honest take)

  • Sales forecast = best-of statistical / ML time-series models (not an LLM)
  • Safety stock / replenishment quantity = rule-based formulas
  • The AI (LLM) only generates "explanatory text" — it does not decide how much to replenish or write decision data
— in this scenario AI never touches decision data, so there is inherently no "AI tampering with data" risk.

Roadmap (direction / upcoming)

Multi-echelon transfer network optimization (min-cost flow)
Real-time data integration (WMS / ERP / OMS — Jedox Integrator can handle it)
Multi-RDC inventory allocation
Freight FTL / LTL tiered cost and volume / weight loading
Positioning: lightweight, fast, explainable replenishment decisions — not competing on the multi-echelon supply-chain planning depth of o9 / SAP IBP.

FAQ

It is currently at the pilot (POC) stage; capabilities are all POC / demo. It is positioned as lightweight, fast, explainable replenishment decisions — not competing on the multi-echelon planning depth of o9 / SAP IBP.

No. Here the AI (LLM) only generates explanatory text; it does not decide how much to replenish or write decision data. Replenishment quantities are computed by rule-based formulas and confirmed by a person.

No. The sales forecast uses best-of statistical / ML time-series models (not an LLM); safety stock and replenishment quantities use rule-based formulas.
