Five engines. One supply chain.

01 · AI Forecasting Engine

The right algorithm for every SKU — automatically.

DemandPlanner runs a live tournament of 6 algorithms on every SKU — backtesting each against real history, scoring on MAPE, RMSE, and BIAS, then deploying the winner automatically.

  • Detects seasonality, trend, intermittency, and volatility per SKU
  • Ensemble blending when two algorithms are within 5% of each other
  • MAPE + RMSE + BIAS composite scoring — not just MAPE alone
  • Stockout correction — zero months imputed before training
Others
One method for all SKUs. No backtesting.

02 · Supply Planning

Branch-level stock, safety stock, and order quantities — per location.

The supply plan goes to the shelf of each branch. Safety stock calculated from actual demand volatility AND lead time uncertainty simultaneously — not a rule of thumb.

  • Statistical safety stock using Z × √(σ²demand × LT + demand² × σ²LT)
  • ABC classification with dynamic service levels (93%, 95%, 99%)
  • Stockout risk flagged 6–8 weeks before it happens
  • Anticipatory vs reactive order classification per purchase order
Others
"Keep 2 weeks of stock." No statistical basis.

04 · Transfer Optimizer

Move stock between branches before placing a new purchase order.

No other SME tool does this. When one branch has excess and another is running out, DemandPlanner calculates exactly how many units to move and the full financial impact.

  • Detects network imbalances across all branches automatically
  • Calculates freight cost vs capital benefit for each transfer
  • Shows exactly how much the next PO reduces if you transfer first
  • Confidence and complexity score per recommendation
Others
Order more stock. Ignore what's already in the network.

05 · Accuracy Audit

Every forecast scored the moment actuals arrive. No surprises.

WMAPE, bias, and directional accuracy tracked per SKU, per branch, and across the full portfolio — every month, automatically. Forecasts that don't improve are just expensive guesses.

  • WMAPE and BIAS tracked per SKU — not just a global average
  • Annotate anomalies — promotions, stockouts, price changes
  • Supply-constrained SKU detection — low sales ≠ low demand
  • Exportable accuracy report — ready for your monthly S&OP review

  • ✓Inter-branch transfer recommendations
  • ✓Overstock alerts with exact capital tied up
  • ✓Stockout risk flagged 6–8 weeks ahead
