From signal to action, automatically

MRP reads every demand source and every supply source, then tells you exactly what to buy and what to make — no spreadsheets, no guesswork.

What MRP reads

  • Sales orders
  • Demand forecasts
  • On-hand inventory
  • Open purchase orders
  • Supplier lead times

What MRP generates

  • Purchase orders
  • Production orders
  • Shortage alerts
  • Expedite suggestions
  • Reschedule alerts
