Does the solution manage supplier calendars or product launch/end-of-life dates?

Yes, these elements are an integral part of the data taken into account. Flowlity allows you to configure supplier calendars, i.e., your partners' working/non-working days. For example, if a supplier is closed in August or only delivers from Monday to Thursday, the supply plan will automatically take this into account: no deliveries will be scheduled outside of their time slots. This avoids unnecessary overstocking or waiting for impossible deliveries. Similarly, the solution manages product launch and end-of-life dates. Our algorithms integrate the item lifecycle: you can indicate that a new product starts on a certain date (with a possible ramp-up profile) or that an existing reference will be obsolete from a certain date. Flowlity “tracks product lifecycles (new products, end of life, etc.)” and adapts forecasts and recommendations accordingly. For example, as an end-of-life approaches, the tool will gradually reduce replenishment proposals and then stop generating them beyond the end date, to avoid unsold items. Conversely, during a launch, Flowlity can use analogies (similar products) or market data to initialize the forecast, so as not to start from scratch. In short, calendar constraints – whether they come from suppliers or your product cycle – are well managed by Flowlity. This ensures realistic planning aligned with operational realities.
