THE CHALLENGE

Production Planning Is Broken

Today's production planners spend 60-80% of their time gathering data from spreadsheets, ERP systems, and email threads — only to produce plans that are outdated before they're finished.

Spreadsheet-based planning

3-5 day planning cycles, error-prone, single-version

Inaccurate demand forecasts

25-40% error rates, stockouts AND overstock

Manual constraint management

Infeasible schedules, constant firefighting

No scenario analysis

Gut-feel decisions, high risk, no confidence

Disconnected systems

Manual data entry between ERP, MES, and planning tools

Reactive firefighting

70% of planner time spent on exceptions, not strategy

THE SOLUTION

AI-Powered Planning in Hours, Not Days

aPlanner replaces spreadsheets and gut-feel with AI that forecasts demand, optimizes schedules across all constraints simultaneously, and lets you test every decision before you make it — all in a unified platform connected to your ERP in real time.

HOW IT WORKS

5 Steps to Smarter Planning

1

Data Ingest

ERP/MES/Market data flows in automatically. No manual data gathering needed.

2

Forecast (AI)

AI generates demand forecast with confidence intervals. Planner reviews, adjusts, approves.

3

Schedule (AI)

Optimizer creates feasible, optimal schedule. Respects ALL constraints simultaneously.

4

Simulate (AI)

Run what-if scenarios: demand, supply, capacity. Compare options side-by-side with risk scores.

5

Analyze (AI)

Monitor KPIs, get AI-powered insights and alerts. Prescriptive recommendations for next actions.

PROVEN RESULTS

Proven Results Across Industries

"aPlanner reduced our planning cycle from 5 days to 4 hours. The AI demand forecasting is 28% more accurate than our previous method, and the constraint scheduler finds solutions our team never would have discovered manually. We've saved $2.8M in the first year alone."
