Supply Planning
Deciding what to order and when relied on the buyer's experience and on Excel exports rebuilt every week. This tool brings stock levels, sales history and supplier constraints together in one place, then proposes a dated order plan. The buyer adjusts whatever they want before validating: the tool prepares the work, it doesn't decide in their place.
