PLAIO greets you with a dashboard based on your role and responsibilities. In each module, you'll find specialized dashboards providing role-specific KPIs.

Start your planning journey in the Demand Planning module, your single source of truth for your total demand. Each product can be represented by multiple lines enabling you to forecast demand for your products accurately. Creating multiple versions of forecasts allows you to compare different scenarios and explore various possibilities. You can generate predictions using advanced statistical methods and historical data, considering factors like seasonality and market trends. This helps you optimize inventory levels and align production with customer demand.

Moving seamlessly into the Supply Plan where you can determine manufacturing requirements for each product strength or other grouping. Visualize and analyze inventory levels to ensure optimal stock management. Leverage the Coplanner suggestions considering various factors such as demand, lead time and current inventory to calculate optimal quantities. Any changes in the demand plan are automatically reflected in the supply plan, ensuring accuracy and seamless synchronization. Monitor the change history in the supply plan to track modifications made by users, enabling transparent collaboration.

Proceed to the Purchase Planner, which streamlines the procurement process by providing insights into raw material requirements based on demand forecasts. You can generate automatic purchase suggestions, taking into account various factors. However, you always have the flexibility to manually override the system's suggestions based on additional factors or information not accounted for by the system. Visualize safety stock levels and observe how changes impact the system's recalculation of suggestions, allowing for informed decision-making.

The manufacturing planning module helps optimize production processes, ensuring efficient resource allocation and scheduling. You can manage production lines and monitor capacity utilization to maximize productivity. It also facilitates collaboration between different departments involved in the manufacturing process.

The task management feature allows you to create and assign tasks to team members, ensuring seamless collaboration and accountability. You can track progress and set deadlines to streamline workflows and ensure the timely execution of critical activities. Navigating from the dashboard, you can always go to the original line of the task.

The statistical forecast feature allows you to leverage historical sales data and apply advanced algorithms to generate accurate demand forecasts. PLAIO offers many different forecasting methods, automatically selecting the best method based on historical trends, capturing seasonality and allowing manual overrides when necessary.

The Coplanner feature empowers you with AI-driven optimization suggestions. It analyzes data from multiple sources, identifies areas for improvement and provides actionable recommendations to enhance planning processes. It helps you make informed decisions and is available from all three modules; demand & supply planner, purchase planner and manufacturing planner. In some cases, you can use Coplanner actions per line; in other cases, you can also use them for the whole worksheet.
