Cloud supply chain planning for mid-market manufacturers and distributors

Type: plug-ins / best-of-breed  ·  Tech: modern  ·  Budget: traditional ($70k–$350k/yr)
Core verticals: general / horizontal
Functions: scheduling / planning, inventory / WMS, purchasing, reporting / BI

Cloud demand-planning and inventory-optimization platform aimed at the mid-market, with a lighter footprint than the enterprise planning suites. Forecasting is its core strength; it plugs into your ERP rather than replacing it.

Solid mid-market supply chain planning platform differentiating on AI/ML forecasting and a faster implementation timeline than traditional APS vendors. Particularly well-positioned for mid-market manufacturers who need demand planning beyond basic ERP but cannot afford enterprise platforms like Kinaxis or o9.
