Manufacturing & Process Industry Solution

Forecasting That Fits a ₹50–500 Crore Manufacturer

Custom raw-material, packaging, and lead-time forecasting — built to plug into the ERP you already use, not force a switch to SAP.

The Operational Bottleneck

Why Mid-Market Manufacturers Struggle with Material Planning

Enterprise IBP suites (SAP IBP, Kinaxis, o9, Blue Yonder) are built and priced for large multinational manufacturers

Most Indian mid-market manufacturers are still running S&OP and material planning on complex Excel sheets

Volatile input costs (polymer, packaging materials, steel) make manual forecasting a direct hit to gross margin

A full enterprise IBP rollout can take 12+ months and a budget most ₹50–500 Crore manufacturers cannot justify

Solution FAQs

How is this different from implementing SAP IBP?

SAP IBP requires 12+ months and crores in consulting. Our right-sized solution deploys in 6-8 weeks at a fraction of the cost, focusing specifically on your raw material and packaging bottlenecks.

Does this replace our ERP or sit alongside it?

It sits alongside your existing ERP (Tally, Zoho, custom SQL database). We pull historical transactions and push generated material requirements back via APIs.

How much historical data do you need to build an accurate model?

Ideally 12 to 24 months of sales orders, purchase orders, and BOM records produce high-confidence forecasts.

What's a realistic timeline for a first working forecast?

We deliver a baseline working forecast model within 3 weeks of receiving your sample historical datasets.
