Manufacturing
Raw-material shortage planning for multi-plant manufacturers.
Shortage resolution
Stop raw-material shortages before they stop the line.
Planr turns the plant, inventory, and material data you already have into ranked actions — transfer, substitute, reallocate, or cut — in minutes, not days. So a short material never becomes a stopped line or a missed customer promise.

Why it matters
One short material. Five expensive problems.
A single raw material below coverage can idle a line, delay finished goods, blow a customer commitment, force a panic air-freight at multiples of normal cost, and pull your best planners into a day of spreadsheet reconciliation.

The data to prevent it already exists — inventory, open POs, ETAs, sister-plant surplus, approved substitutes. It just does not converge before the decision turns urgent. Planr brings it together and shows exactly what to do.
For sales & planning
A shortage should not become a meeting.
A customer order lands. Planr shows whether the promise can be kept, and what to do if materials are short.
Order lands
Promise date needed.
Shortage appears
Inventory, POs, transfers, and substitutes are checked.
Answer moves
The best action is visible.
Planr workflow
Walk through the shortage resolution flow.
Move from operating data to shortage signal, resolution paths, and an executable plan without leaving the workflow.
Step 1
Align operating data
Inventory, demand, POs, ETAs, production plans, site stock, and transport data already exist. Planr connects them so teams are not reconciling files before deciding.
What Planr is
One decision layer between your ERP data and the production plan.
Data comes in, operations research computes feasibility, the interface shows the next move. The AI layer ranks plans; it does not invent the math.
Architecture
- Accepts ERP exports, planning files, and site-level inputs, then maps fields without code.
Proof of deployment
Live in automotive filtration. Mapped for your workflow next.
For new industries we map the workflow first, then fit Planr around how your team actually plans — not the other way round.

Bring the clock back under control
Put shortage decisions on the clock.
Start with the production planning data your teams already use. Planr turns shortages into ranked resolution actions before production slips.
