Solution · Supply Chain

A supply chain that balances inventory and service.

MRP, production, capacity, inventory and service level in a single model, connected to demand and the ERP. Supply chain planning starts to balance inventory and service level and to answer supply scenarios in minutes — not in spreadsheets.

What we deliver

From MRP to on-time delivery.

🏭

MRP and production planning

Material requirements and production plan calculated from demand and the bill of materials, with thousands of SKUs in a single model.

  • Multilevel MRP with BOM explosion
  • Master production schedule (MPS)
⚙️

Capacity and plant allocation

Capacity balancing across plants and lines, with production and resource allocation driven by the demand scenario and real constraints.

  • Finite capacity by plant and line
  • Production allocation across units
📦

Inventory, lead times and service level

Inventory policies, safety stock and lead times calibrated to sustain the service level without capital tied up in excess.

  • Safety stock and reorder point
  • Service level by SKU and channel
🌾

Harvest, seasonality and ERP

Harvest and seasonality planning integrated with MRP, with actuals loaded straight from the ERP — reconciled and auditable, no rekeying.

  • Harvest and seasonality planning
  • Integration with SAP, Oracle, Totvs and others
Why it matters

Supply chain doesn't fail for lack of data. It fails at balancing inventory and service level.

In a network of multiple SKUs and plants, every inventory decision moves both service and working capital at the same time. When the plan doesn't talk to demand or to real capacity, there's too much stock in one place and a shortage in another — and the fix comes too late.

A well-built model connects demand, MRP, production and inventory into a single piece: change the forecast and the production plan and target inventory recalculate on the spot. The difference is in the architecture — a single source connected from demand to production, integrated with the ERP, with version governance — so the gain is a single, reliable plan, not yet another isolated tool.

Real cases

Supply chain that runs day to day.

Supply Chain · Food
MRP with 1,000+ SKUs — multinational food company in Asia-Pacific
MRP with more than 1,000 SKUs and multiple plants, optimizing inventory, production and resource allocation in a single model.
Result: optimized inventory and better on-time delivery.
Supply Chain · Aquaculture
Harvest planning — aquaculture leader in Oceania
Optimization of harvest planning and simplification of MRP with the specifics of the aquaculture industry.
Result: less planning time and more accurate harvest forecasts.

FAQ
What does supply chain planning cover?
MRP and production plan, capacity and plant allocation, inventory policies, lead times and service level — plus harvest and seasonality planning when the sector calls for it. All connected to demand and the ERP in a single model.
How do you balance inventory and service level with many SKUs?
With safety stock and reorder point calibrated by SKU and channel, recalculated from demand and real lead times. In a multi-plant network, the model shows the trade-off between service and working capital before you commit inventory.
How does the model integrate with the ERP and operational data?
Actuals — inventory, orders, lead times and production — are loaded straight from the ERP and operational systems, reconciled and auditable, no rekeying. Everything converges into a single source of truth, so the plan runs on reliable data and what you decide reflects what's actually happening in the chain.
