More about Flowlity’s supply planning solution

The supply planning software that makes complex constraints executable

Supply planning looks simple on paper: align supply with demand, respect constraints, and keep costs under control. In real life, it’s a daily puzzle of lead times, capacity bottlenecks, supplier constraints, and constant volatility—all while teams are asked to protect service levels and improve profitability.

Flowlity is an AI-powered, ai-driven supply planning software designed to turn that complexity into an executable plan. From Supply Order Management to long-term planning, it helps you optimize supply decisions across the entire supply chain, so planners spend less time firefighting and more time on high-value decision-making.

From ERP outputs to an executable supply plan (without spreadsheet chaos)

Most teams already have an ERP. The problem isn’t data availability—it’s decision taking and planning simulations. ERP outputs often require manual adjustments, offline calculations, and countless spreadsheet workflows to make the plan realistic.

Flowlity bridges that gap: it transforms ERP signals into a supply plan you can trust—one that accounts for constraints, respects planning rules, and helps you meet demand with fewer last-minute surprises. With more automation in the planning process, you can streamline routine planning tasks and focus on exceptions that truly matter.

Supply chain network optimization built into day-to-day planning

“Optimization” shouldn’t be a one-off project. Flowlity brings supply chain network optimization into everyday operations—so the plan isn’t just mathematically good, it’s operationally feasible.

That means your teams can:

Balance allocation decisions across sites and customers using DRP (Distribution Requirements Planning) when constraints bite
Anticipate and resolve bottlenecks before they impact production
Stay resilient during supply disruptions by adapting plans quickly
Use real-time planning signals to reduce latency in execution

This is how supply chain planning becomes proactive instead of reactive.

Key capabilities supply chain planning solutions should cover

Multi-level planning from raw materials to finished goods

Strong supply chain planning solutions don’t stop at finished goods. They connect planning levels—from raw materials and components to semi-finished and finished products—so upstream decisions match downstream reality.

Flowlity supports:

Integrated procurement and production planning
Multi-level BOM planning and constrained MRP logic
MEIO (Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization) to position inventory where it delivers the most value
End-to-end visibility across the global supply chain

The result: better control of costs, risk, and responsiveness across the global supply chain.

Scenario planning for faster, more confident decision-making

In today’s supply chains, “one plan” is never enough. Teams need scenario planning to evaluate trade-offs fast: cost vs service, stability vs agility, inventory vs capacity.With Flowlity, planners can run what-if scenarios to test decisions before committing, such as:

What happens if a supplier delay extends lead times?
What happens if demand spikes or shifts regionally, impacting store replenishment priorities?
What if a key line hits a capacity ceiling?

This enables faster, more informed decisions and more resilient planning under uncertainty.

What teams gain with AI-powered supply planning

Reduce working capital while protecting service levels

Supply planning is a balancing act: you want less inventory, but not at the expense of customer experience. Flowlity helps teams reduce excess inventory and unnecessary buffers while maintaining target service levels.

With the right optimization logic, you can:

Lower inventory levels without increasing risk
Reduce expediting and costly “panic buys”
Improve customer satisfaction through more reliable fulfillment
Free up working capital for growth priorities

Remove silos across demand planning, S&OP, and operations planning

Planning breaks down when functions operate in isolation. Flowlity helps remove silos by connecting:

demand planning and demand forecasting
S&OP / sales and operations planning
day-to-day operations planning and execution

With shared assumptions and aligned constraints, teams make better decisions faster—and avoid the classic “plan vs reality” gap that drains time and trust.

Who Flowlity’s supply planning software is built for

For manufacturers running MTS, MTO, or hybrid planning

Best-fit industries and complexity triggers

Flowlity is a strong fit when supply planning becomes too complex for spreadsheets and too dynamic for rigid systems—a reality shared by many companies in wholesale, retail, eCommerce, spare parts, and manufacturing.

Across these industries, typical complexity triggers include:

Frequent disruptions and high volatility in demand and supply
Constrained capacity and long or variable lead times, often involving multiple suppliers
Multi-site planning with shared constraints across warehouses, factories, or distribution centers
Complex BOMs and multi-level materials planning, common in manufacturing and spare parts networks
The need to optimize trade-offs across service levels, cost, and inventory—without slowing down operations

If that sounds familiar, you don’t need more manual effort or bigger spreadsheets—you need supply planning software built for complexity, speed, and action, and designed to support real-world planning in fast-moving supply chains.

FAQ

Find everything you need to know right here.

Is it useful if I operate in Make-to-Order (production to order) without stock?

Absolutely.

Even without finished goods inventory, upstream planning remains crucial.

In Make-to-Order (MTO) mode, raw materials and production capacity must be managed to meet customer orders on time.

Flowlity helps you anticipate these needs.

Our forecasting algorithms integrate economic and historical data to estimate future demand, even in the context of custom orders. This allows you to prepare your supplies of critical components and smooth out the production load.

In addition, the solution offers scenario simulation capabilities: you can test the impact of a sudden increase in orders or a supplier delay on your schedule. With a supply chain optimization tool, MTO manufacturers make more data-driven decisions, adjust their capacity more precisely, and become more responsive to fluctuations.

In short, Flowlity secures your MTO supply chain by avoiding component shortages and reducing lead times, while limiting unnecessary surplus.

Is the Flowlity solution suitable for Make-to-Stock (MTS) and Make-to-Order (MTO) environments?

‍Yes. Flowlity is designed to support both Make-to-Stock (MTS) and Make-to-Order (MTO) production models.

In Make-to-Stock, Flowlity uses its forecasting algorithms to project future demand and recommend optimal stock levels for each item. It also calculates dynamic safety stocks to maintain high service levels while minimizing excess inventory.

In Make-to-Order, where production or procurement is triggered only by confirmed customer orders, Flowlity adapts by using firm orders as the main demand input. The system then focuses on optimizing the availability of components, raw materials, or intermediates required to deliver these orders on time, ensuring upstream supply readiness.

Flowlity can also manage hybrid workflows, where some SKUs follow an MTS logic and others an MTO logic—common in both manufacturing and distribution. With flexible configuration, you can define the planning mode by item or product family, and Flowlity automatically adjusts its behavior accordingly.

In summary: whether you operate on stock or on demand, Flowlity ensures optimal planning of resources and inventory, fully aligned with your operational model.

What are the main features of Flowlity to optimize Supply Chain planning?

Flowlity is an all-in-one solution covering all Supply Chain planning needs, from forecasting to operational, with the help of artificial intelligence.

Among its main features are:

Demand planning

‍Flowlity generates reliable sales forecasts by leveraging your historical and external data. Its probabilistic forecast algorithm produces several scenarios and identifies the most likely one, also providing a confidence interval to visualize uncertainty. This helps you anticipate demand more accurately than with traditional methods.

Inventory optimization

‍The solution recommends optimal stock levels (safety stock, minimum/maximum stock) for each item and each location. Taking into account variations in demand and supplier lead times, Flowlity calculates dynamic replenishment thresholds. Intelligent alerts alert you to imminent stockouts or overstocks, so you can act proactively.

Supply Planning

‍Flowlity develops replenishment proposals for your warehouses or stores, synchronizing upstream and downstream. You view suggested orders to suppliers or recommended production orders, adjusted according to constraints (e.g. MOQ – minimum purchase quantities, lead times, capacities). The planning engine aims to ensure product availability up to +50% higher by avoiding shortages while reducing excess stock.

Production Planning

‍For manufacturers, Flowlity allows you to build an optimal production plan taking into account capacity constraints. The tool can integrate bills of materials (BOM) and calculate net component requirements. It helps determine where to position buffer stocks on multi-level chains to maximize OTD (On Time Delivery) and make existing MRP more reliable.

S&OP and reporting

‍As mentioned, Flowlity offers real-time monitoring dashboards and key indicators (KPIs) for supply chain management. These reports help align departments during S&OP and make data-driven decisions thanks to global visibility of the situation (stock coverage, shortage projection under different scenarios, etc.).

Supplier-customer collaboration

‍Flowlity offers a collaborative space to share forecasts, needs and order confirmations with your partners. This streamlines communication and reduces uncertainty throughout the supply chain.

Contingency management and resilience

‍Thanks to AI, Flowlity detects disruption signals early (abnormal demands, announced delays) and suggests corrective actions (for example, bringing forward a supplier order or repositioning stock from one site to another). This intelligent automation helps teams navigate uncertainty and make the supply chain more resilient to unforeseen events.

Pricing & Promotions Management

Flowlity now includes an AI-powered Pricing & Promotions module designed for retail, e-commerce, and distribution. This module simulates pricing and promotional scenarios, visualizes their impact on sales volumes, margins, and inventory, and helps define the most profitable strategy. Fully integrated with demand and supply planning, it ensures pricing decisions do not create shortages or overstocks, allowing commercial teams to maximize profitability while maintaining operational control.

‍

In summary, Flowlity stands out for its algorithmic power (probabilistic forecasts, multi-echelon optimization) and its ease of use.

It automates up to 95% of planning activities while letting the planner keep control of important decisions. Supply Chain managers appreciate this approach which combines time savings (reduced manual tasks) and better performance (stock reduced by up to -60% in some cases while improving the service rate). (For more details on each module, we can provide you with a dedicated presentation – do not hesitate to contact us to find out more.)

What is supply chain planning?

Supply chain planning involves coordinating all supply chain activities (demand, supply, production, etc.) to meet customer demand efficiently. It aims to balance demand and supply, forecast future needs, and optimize resources to improve customer service while reducing costs.

‍

What is production planning?

Production planning consists of organizing and scheduling manufacturing activities to meet the required levels of finished goods. It takes into account demand forecasts, plant capacity, raw material availability, and resources such as labor and machinery. Effective production planning ensures that the right products are made at the right time, optimizing resource utilization and minimizing bottlenecks.

What is supply planning?

Supply planning ensures that raw materials and procured products are available in the right quantities and at the right time to meet demand. It includes planning purchase orders to suppliers, managing lead times, and optimizing inventory levels for raw materials or components. In short, supply planning links forecasted demand with purchasing and replenishment activities to prevent shortages while minimizing excess stock.

Can Flowlity handle logistics constraints such as full-truck loads or MOQs?

Yes. Flowlity fully incorporates your operational constraints into its replenishment calculations. You can configure MOQs (Minimum Order Quantities), lot sizes, purchasing units, and even full-truck-load constraints. The planning engine ensures that all these rules are respected in the order proposals.

For example, if you have an MOQ of 100 units or a truck that only departs when full, Flowlity will apply these constraints and group requirements accordingly. The Order module aggregates needs by supplier and ensures that conditions like MOQs, lot multiples, or truck loading thresholds are correctly applied.

As a result, the generated supply orders are realistic, ready to execute, and aligned with your actual logistics constraints. By avoiding split or suboptimal orders, you optimize both transportation and storage costs.
