AI-Native Supply Chain & Demand Forecasting Platform

The challenge

Material shortages stopped production lines with little warning, safety stock tied up cash, purchase approvals were stuck in email, and duplicate or overpriced invoices slipped through.

Objectives

• Demand forecasting
• Stock across warehouses
• Shortfalls to purchase orders
• Invoice checking

Discovery

We built this supply chain platform for an industrial manufacturer. It forecasts demand, tracks stock and lot expiry across warehouses, works out material shortfalls from the bill of materials and turns them into purchase orders, routes approvals by value, checks every supplier invoice against the order and goods receipt, and scores suppliers on delivery and quality.

What was built

1. Demand forecasting. 30- to 180-day forecasts from sales history and seasonality, with accuracy tracked against actuals.
2. Stock across warehouses. Stock by warehouse, lot and expiry, with transfer suggestions and alerts before lots expire.
3. Shortfalls to purchase orders. Material needs worked out from the bill of materials and production plan, turned into draft POs in one click.
4. Invoice checking. Supplier invoices are read automatically and matched against the PO and goods receipt.
5. Supplier scorecards. Each supplier rated on on-time delivery, quality, price stability and responsiveness.
6. Goods receipt and delivery. Dock checks for quantity and quality, route planning, and proof of delivery from the driver's phone.
