Planning as a Service for Supply Chain Teams
Not just software. A planning team on demand. We combine trained planning analysts with Planamind and run your planning cycle with you, so you build capability instead of dependency.
Planning is getting harder. Hiring planners isn't getting easier.
Supply chains are more complex, and balancing service levels against inventory cost takes skills many teams don't have in-house.
Data, but little analysis
The team spends its time producing numbers in Excel, with little left for the analysis the business actually needs.
Talent gaps and attrition
Experienced planners are hard to hire and harder to keep, and planning knowledge leaves when they do.
Systems without adoption
Planning software is bought, but without the people and process to run it, value never arrives.
A trained planning analyst plus an advanced planning system.
Human judgement and sector expertise, working in Planamind every day, together make a decision support unit that improves every cycle.
Specialists in planning, not general consultants
Our team brings 50+ years of combined planning experience across supply chain and finance, with Chartered Accountants, CPAs, MBAs and engineers who have run planning in industry. They join your cycle, learn your business and own the analysis.
The platform your analysts work in
Every engagement runs on Planamind: twelve forecasting models, a daily supply simulation, promotions and opportunities, and a gross-profit view against AOP, all in one workspace your team can see.
Choose how far we go
Run planning as a fully managed service, or have us build and run the function and then transfer it to your team (build-operate-transfer) or keep operating it for you (build-own-operate). Modelling services, process consulting and coaching are available on their own.
Your planning cycle, run by specialists.
Each part of the cycle is delivered by an Anamind analyst working in Planamind, with your team in the loop at every step.
A forecast your business can act on
We build and maintain the forecast with twelve competing models, add known opportunities and planned promotions, and review accuracy every cycle so the numbers keep getting better.
Replenishment and safety stock, set by the numbers
We run the daily supply simulation, set safety stock by service level, plan transfers and materials, and review orders before they go out, so stock sits where it's needed.
An S&OP process tailored to you
We design the S&OP calendar, KPIs and review pack, prepare the AOP gap and gross-profit view for each meeting, and follow up on the actions agreed.
Quick set-up, then a planning team that keeps improving.
We set up the system and process quickly, with a dedicated analyst for your planning service from the start.

What clients say about our planning service.
“We saw it as a fantastic collaborative planning tool that could not only forecast but also drive consensus from top to bottom cut across functions. The graphical views of data with drilldowns was something we were looking forward to effectively use in our S&OP discussions.”
