Overview

We built this inventory platform for a manufacturer with several plants and warehouses. It forecasts demand even for slow-moving spare parts, sorts every item by value and how predictable it is, sets safety stock and reorder points from real supplier lead times, recommends transfers between plants before anyone buys more, and routes purchase recommendations through approval limits straight into the ERP.

The client
Several plants and warehouses stocking spare parts, consumables and assembly components for heavy equipment.
The brief
Planners balanced stock in spreadsheets, critical parts ran out while slow-moving stock tied up capital, and supplier lead times kept slipping without anyone noticing.

Rules built in

    Spending limits

    Recommendations route to the planner, plant head or VP supply chain depending on value.

    No AI in the money maths

    Reorder quantities and budgets are calculated by fixed business rules, so every number can be checked.

  • History

    Audit trail

    Every recommendation is stored with the settings that produced it.

  • Access

    Role-based

    Separate access for planners, plant managers, supply chain heads and finance.

Proposed features

What the system was designed to do for the client's teams.

  • 01

    Forecasts for slow-moving parts

    Demand models built for spare parts that are used rarely and unevenly, not just steady consumables.

  • 02

    Items sorted by value and volatility

    Every part grouped by how much it's worth and how predictable it is, with alerts when that changes.

  • 03

    Safety stock that adjusts

    Safety stock and reorder points reset daily from real supplier lead times and target fill rates.

  • 04

    Transfers before purchases

    Recommends moving surplus stock between plants before buying more.

  • 05

    Supplier scorecards

    On-time, in-full delivery tracked per supplier, with alerts for single-source critical parts.

  • 06

    What-if planning

    Test changes to lead times or stock policies across the whole catalogue before applying them.
