Forecast — plan — replenish — decide
SaaS-native demand, supply, and inventory intelligence for global manufacturers, retailers, and brands
Live in production at 400+ enterprises. Two-month deployments.
The decision layer for your supply chain
PlanNEL is the AI-native supply chain platform that turns raw demand signals into closed-loop replenishment plans — automatically. One model spans forecasting, demand planning, inventory optimization, and replenishment, so decisions stay aligned from store shelf back to factory floor.
Part of the Zionex One Platform — built for global manufacturers, retailers, and brands.
Are you facing these supply chain challenges?
Forecasts you can't defend
Plans built on gut, history, and spreadsheets. Sales targets that don't reconcile with the forecast. No clean way to explain to the board why the forecast is what it is.
Inventory in the wrong places
Working capital tied up in slow-moving SKUs while best-sellers run out. Promotions and seasonality propagate too slowly through the plan to matter.
Planning cycles measured in weeks
Demand, supply, capacity, and replenishment live in different spreadsheets, run by different teams, on different cadences. By the time a plan is published, the assumptions have already moved.
PlanNEL can effectively address these supply chain planning challenges.
Forecast accuracy that compounds.
80%+ baseline accuracy on day one. The model gets sharper every cycle by ingesting weather, FX, macro signals, promotions, and competitor signals alongside your own demand history.
Plan in hours, not weeks.
One cloud-native platform replaces the spreadsheet chain. Demand, supply, capacity, and replenishment plan together — across every location, every cycle — automatically.
30% less working capital in inventory.
Safety stock, cycle stock, and order points sized by AI against your real demand variance. No more padding inventory to cover bad forecasts.
PlanNEL's Strengths
Domain depth, not generic AI.
Built and operated by the team behind 400+ enterprise SCM deployments. The model understands manufacturing, not just numbers.
27 years of operations research, codified.
PlanNEL is the productized form of two decades of OR, demand modeling, and inventory science — encoded as agents, optimizers, and policy engines.
The decision layer above ERP.
PlanNEL doesn't replace your ERP. It sits above it, making the decisions ERPs were never built to make.
Live in two months.
Modules deploy independently. Pick what you need first; add the rest as you grow.
Factory capacity, included.
Most planning platforms stop at the warehouse. PlanNEL plans through factory capacity — so the plan you publish is actually buildable.

PlanNEL Modules
Four modules, one model.
PlanNEL is modular by design — deploy what you need, when you need it. But every module runs on one shared model of your business, so decisions never contradict each other.
Baseline Forecast (BF)
AI forecasting that beats every spreadsheet you've tried. Deep-learning models fuse your demand history with weather, FX, macro, promotions, and competitor signals. 80%+ accuracy as the floor, not the ceiling.
Demand Plan (DP)
Where AI and human judgment meet. Planners overlay strategic intent, promotions, and new-product launches on top of the AI forecast — in conversation, not in spreadsheets.
Inventory Optimization (IO)
Inventory sized to actual demand variance. Safety stock, cycle stock, and reorder points computed continuously — by SKU, by location, by channel. No more one-size-fits-all stocking policies.
Replenishment Plan (RP)
| Replenishment that closes the loop. Plans propagate from store shelf back to factory and supplier in one continuous flow. Every actual sale, every variance, feeds the next cycle. |
Benefits of using PlanNEL
PlanNEL can assist in creating effective sales plans by using AI to generate demand forecasts with high precision. This allows sales staff to focus on other important tasks since PlanNEL can handle the demand forecasting. Additionally, PlanNEL can help align sales plans with key performance measures and metrics, providing a common understanding of the sales plan across the organization.
PlanNEL allows for visualization and advanced estimation of sales and inventory plans, simplifying the budget planning process. Additionally, the system's ability to effectively manage inventory leads to an improvement in cash flow through the reduction of excess inventory in various warehouses.
PlanNEL automates key inventory decisions, such as safety stock, cycle stock, ordering points, and ordering volumes by taking into account fluctuations in demand and sales promotions. This allows supply managers to focus on other tasks, as PlanNEL handles the complicated spreadsheet management while maintaining stable inventory levels.
PlanNEL enables purchasing activities to be more timely and accurate by allowing purchasing staff to focus on products with higher demand fluctuations. Additionally, by sharing plans with suppliers, it becomes possible to stabilize supply and improve job satisfaction for all parties involved.
PlanNEL has helped to reduce inventory and storage costs by allowing us to anticipate warehousing and delivery schedules. This enables us to plan shipping and secure warehouse space in advance, which leads to cost savings.
