Are you facing these supply chain challenges?
Ineffective demand forecasting
We previously relied on past experience to create material purchase orders, resulting in inaccurate demand quantities. This makes it difficult to validate sales plans proposed by our sales team.
Excess inventory and stock shortages
We struggle to understand variations in demand, leading to excess inventory. Additionally, sales promotions are not always accurately reflected in demand forecasting, resulting in stock shortages.

PlanNEL Modules
PlanNEL is an AI-powered platform that offers automated planning capabilities to help companies manage their supply chain and inventory efficiently. The 4 key modules include Baseline Forecasting (BF), Demand Planning (DP), Inventory Optimization (IO), and Replenishment Planning (RP). These modules are designed to work together to provide a comprehensive solution for managing a company's supply chain and inventory effectively.
Baseline Forecast (BF)
BF module utilizes machine learning algorithms to analyze actual sales and demand influencing factors in order to make accurate forecasts. In conjunction with traditional statistical methods, PlanNEL provides powerful forecasting capability to match customer's future demand.
Demand Plan (DP)
DP module enables human input to improve and provide even more accurate predictions for strategic and priority items. This allows for real-time adjustments to sales plans by evaluating the gap between budget and profit, ensuring that sales goals are met effectively.
Inventory Optimization (IO)
IO module performs ABC-xyz analysis to maintain a desired service level for active sales items. This allows PlanNEL to provide inventory management guidelines, such as economic ordering quantity and safety stock, ensuring that inventory is managed efficiently and effectively.
Replenishment Plan (RP)
RP module uses machine learning algorithms to calculate an optimal inventory replenishment plan for multiple inventory locations. This allows PlanNEL to meet demands on-time while minimizing excess inventory and ensuring efficient inventory management.
