Spare Parts & Inventory Planning for Automotive
Plan thousands of low-volume, high-value parts across a distribution network. Planamind forecasts intermittent demand, sizes stock to service levels, and plans material and supplier requirements for manufacturers and distributors of parts and tools.
- Low-volume, high-value parts. Lumpy demand that averages badly.
- Slow movers. Stock that sits for months while other parts run out.
- New product introductions. Superseded and new part numbers with no history.
- Price fluctuations. Cost and price changes that shift demand.
- Tight delivery timelines. Missed deliveries become lost sales.
- OEM and supplier dependencies. Minimum orders and long lead times.
Forecasts built for lumpy demand
Croston's method for intermittent demand competes with eleven other models on every part, and the best fit is selected automatically. Accuracy recommendations flag high-value parts where a different model would do better.
AI · Accuracy diagnostics Ana explains in plain English why a forecast missed and what drove the error.
The right part at the right branch
The daily simulation plans stock across depots and branches, with transfers from excess to shortage and service levels by ABC class.
AI · Safety-stock suggestion Ana suggests safety stock for each part from its forecast error, service level and lead time.
New part numbers with a real baseline
Map the history of a superseded part to its replacement with a configurable share and overlap, so new part numbers start with a grounded forecast.
Suggested predecessors Planamind suggests likely predecessor parts, so planners don't have to search the catalogue by hand.
Supplier limits built into the plan
Multi-level BOMs, spare-part demand for components, supplier lead times and minimum order quantities are applied to every order, and suggested orders are labelled by type.
AI · Ask Ana Ask Ana why an order is bigger than the requirement, and she walks through the MOQ and rounding behind it.

Demand & Inventory Planning for Chemicals & Paints
Improve product availability while cutting inventory bloat. Planamind plans seasonal and slow-moving ranges, promotions and branch-level decisions across the whole value chain for manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors.
- Seasonal markets. Painting seasons and weather drive demand peaks.
- Promotions and events. Campaigns and dealer schemes distort demand.
- New products. Shade and pack launches with no history.
- High channel inventory. Stock builds up in depots and dealers.
- Manual replenishment. Branch orders raised by hand in spreadsheets.
- Customer projects. Large project orders that history can't predict.
Seasons and weather in the forecast
Seasonal models compete on every shade and pack, and historical and seasonal weather data can be applied to the forecast. Outlier checks catch months distorted by stockouts.
AI · Monthly Review Ana explains demand changes, anomalies and weather impact, and flags opportunities and risks to year end.
Customer projects in the plan
Add customer projects and large orders as opportunities weighted by win probability, on top of the baseline, so supply is ready when they land.
Flows downstream Opportunities feed supply and finance automatically, viewed as weighted, best case or committed.
Promotions measured on net lift
Plan promotions at any level, with suggested discounts from price elasticity, and measure what they really delivered after forward-buying and cannibalisation.
AI · Promotion assessment Ana scores each promotion out of 10 and writes a post-mortem once it closes.
Branch replenishment without the spreadsheets
The daily simulation suggests orders for every branch and depot, sized to safety stock, order cycle and minimum quantities, and plans transfers from excess to shortage.
AI · Safety-stock suggestion Ana flags where branch buffers are excessive or too lean, with single or bulk apply.
“Asian Paints International Business was conducting demand forecasting centrally for all the units across different countries. There was a need to decentralize the demand planning exercise and enable each unit. The interface is user friendly and intuitive which was a plus point considering personnel with different backgrounds are using it in different countries.”

Merchandise & Replenishment Planning for Fashion & Retail
Keep large assortments available across stores, warehouses and online without the excess. Planamind forecasts every SKU and location, balances stock between stores and DCs, and plans promotions around holidays and local events.
- Complex assortments. Thousands of SKUs across categories and sizes.
- Store-level base stock. Getting the right stock into every store.
- Promotions and offers. Consumer promotions that distort demand.
- Stock balancing. Excess in one store, empty shelves in another.
- Long lead times. Buying decisions made months ahead.
- Misaligned plans. Merchandising and supply plans that don't match.
A forecast for every SKU in every location
Twelve models compete on every item-location, and the best fit is selected automatically, with holidays and events flagged for planning.
AI · Monthly Review Ana explains demand changes and mix shifts, and names where to intervene by SKU and store.
Stock where the customers are
Transfers move stock from stores or DCs with excess to those running short, and allocation rules split scarce stock proportionally, by fair share or by priority.
AI · Stock health The Stock Health view shows where to move stock instead of ordering more, with Ana's prioritised actions.
Promotions and clearance with evidence
Suggested discounts come from price elasticity, promotions are measured on net lift, and overstock triggers recommended clearance promotions.
AI · Promotion assessment Ana scores each promotion out of 10 on lift realism, supply, ROI and timing.
Orders in minutes, not days
The daily simulation suggests replenishment orders sized to safety stock, order cycle, minimum quantities and pack rounding, and planners review them in one screen.
AI · Safety-stock suggestion Ana suggests buffers for each item from forecast error, service level and lead time.

Demand & Supply Planning for Home & Interiors
Manage large assortments, imported materials and spare parts across a global supply chain. Planamind unifies forecasting, replenishment and material planning for home and interior brands and manufacturers.
- Large assortments. Collections, finishes and sizes multiply SKUs.
- Imported raw materials. Long, variable supplier lead times.
- Spare parts and service. After-sales demand planned separately.
- Different lead times. Sales and procurement work to different horizons.
- Siloed forecasts. Channels and teams plan in isolation.
- Trend-driven demand. Collections rise and fall with market trends.
One forecast across products and channels
Twelve models forecast every product and channel, and search and market trends can be applied as a scenario. Overrides record who changed what and why.
AI · Market intelligence Ana reads market news and turns it into planning actions, and the market position commentary names your biggest opportunity and risk.
Supplier lead times built into every order
Multi-level BOMs plan raw materials and components from planned production, with supplier lead times, minimum order quantities and safety stock for each item.
AI · Ask Ana Ask Ana which materials are heading for a shortage and what orders are already planned.
After-sales parts in the same plan
Spare-part demand for components is added on top of production requirements, so service parts and new products draw on one material plan.
Connected planning Parts, products and materials share one daily simulation, so nothing is planned twice.
Balanced stock across the range
Items are classified A, B or C with their own service levels, and safety stock adjusts to each item's forecast error and lead time.
AI · Safety-stock suggestion Ana flags excess and lean buffers, with the working-capital effect of each change.
“Overall experience has been excellent and Sheetal and Prabir have been outstanding. We shall definitely recommend Anamind to other organizations with similar planning need.”

- Demand variability. Seasons, school calendars and trends.
- Long lead times. Orders placed months before the season.
- New products. Frequent launches with no history.
- Excess inventory. Outgrown ranges that don't sell through.
- Inefficient ordering. Orders that ignore packs, pallets and minimums.

Peaks planned, not guessed
Seasonal models compete on every item, calendar events are flagged in the Monthly Review, and accuracy recommendations cover high-value lines.
AI · Monthly Review Ana explains demand changes and flags calendar events not yet in the plan.
Launches with a real baseline
Map the history of a predecessor or similar item to a new product with a configurable share and overlap.
Suggested predecessors Planamind suggests likely predecessor items for each new product.
Orders that fit packs, pallets and minimums
The daily simulation sizes orders to safety stock and order cycle, then rounds to minimum order quantities and whole pallets, with lead times for every supplier.
AI · Safety-stock suggestion Ana suggests buffers from forecast error, service level and lead time.
Sell through before the range ages
Overstock and near-expiry stock trigger recommended promotions, and every promotion is measured on net lift.
AI · Promotion assessment Ana scores each promotion out of 10 and writes a post-mortem once it closes.
