Demand Planning for food makers. Next week, from real orders.
Orders, standing orders and your own history become one demand view. Enplacio nets it against stock and what's already on the way, then proposes what to make, buy or move.

What it does
From orders to what you're short. Every number explained.
A forecast from your history
Same-weekday averages adjusted for the season. Adjust any figure by hand and see how accurate the last four weeks were.
Holidays and closures
Calendar events close a day or multiply its demand, so a long weekend is planned, not guessed.
Netted requirements
Demand netted against stock, open purchase orders and planned output. Each requirement says why it's that size.
One click to act
Turn a requirement into a draft purchase order, a transfer request or a production plan.
Late and early signals
Flags when an order-by date passes, a PO runs late or demand falls, so you expedite or pull back in time.
Where it sits
Planning reads from orders and stock. Buying and production read from the plan.

Questions
Demand Planning, answered.
Do we need years of sales history?
No. The forecast uses recent weeks of your own orders, and confirmed and standing orders count from the first day.
Can we override the forecast?
Yes. Adjust any day by hand. Accuracy for the last four weeks is shown, so you know how far to trust it.
Does it order from suppliers automatically?
No. It proposes requirements. A person turns them into draft purchase orders, which follow your approval rules.
Does it include counter or POS sales?
Not yet. Square and Toast connections are on the roadmap, so counter sales can feed the forecast.
