AI Supply Planning

AI that tells you what to order.

Organic AI Planner helps manufacturers and distributors answer a simple question: what is the best possible order?

Stop wrestling with forecasts, spreadsheets, and manual planning work.

Get clear, usable ordering decisions faster.

Mechanise routine decisions completely while keeping people focused on exceptions.

Trusted by global organisations including Shell, BT, and 3M. Built for teams that need planning to move faster under real-world constraints.

The forecast-to-order gap

Move beyond forecasts. Have confidence in what to order next.

Why O8

From prediction to commitment

Dashboards are not the bottleneck. Decision velocity is. O8 and Organic AI Planner turn data, policy, and constraints into action the business can trust, making AI supply planning useful in the real world.

Where conventional planning still breaks

  • Manual overrides still dominate the last mile from forecast to replenishment.
  • Spreadsheet workarounds slow teams down and weaken trust.
  • Businesses see more, but still struggle to act quickly enough.

How O8 improves decisions

  • Decision support grounded in constraints, segmentation, and exceptions.
  • Mechanised workflows for routine supply decisions at scale.
  • Execution-ready outputs that improve speed, consistency, and planner productivity.

Modular architecture

A modular planning stack, proven O8 suite plus Organic AI Planner

O8 already delivers an end-to-end planning suite. Organic AI Planner is the branded AI decision layer that can start small, plug into live operations, and scale with the wider platform, supporting AI supply planning without forcing a rip-and-replace approach, from self-serve uploaded-data use through to full business redesign.

Deployment model

ERP and source systems

Keep your ERP, WMS, spreadsheets, and operational data flows in place.

O8 planning suite

Connected modules cover demand, supply, execution, S&OP, and reporting in one planning estate.

Organic AI Planner

A modular AI engine for fast-start use cases, uploaded data workflows, or deeper ERP and suite-integrated deployment.

Demand Planning

Hierarchies, transparent AI, event history mining, scenarios, and demand hub integration.

Supply Planning

Segmentation, buffer calculation, replenishment creation, planning rules, DDMRP, ROC, MTO, and capacity planning.

Execution Planning

Order generation, ATP, prioritisation, alerts, lead-time management, and material or capacity checks.

S&OP & Conditioning

Inventory projections, finance views, auto segmentation, planning rules, and scenario modelling.

Reporting & Analysis

Control cockpit, self-service analytics, dashboards, exports, auto-email, and compliance metrics.

Outcomes

Built for faster, sharper planning

O8 gives planning teams more speed, more consistency, and more control where the commercial pressure is highest, with automation where it fits and human judgement by exception where it matters.

More automation

Mechanise routine planning decisions completely where appropriate, under clear controls.

Human by exception

Keep people focused on the exceptions, trade-offs, and commercial judgement that still need them.

Flexible scale

Support everyone from a one-person business using self-serve uploads to global enterprises redesigning planning end to end.

Targeted machine learning

Focused AI for real supply chain decisions

O8 is not a generic AI orchestration platform with a scatter-gun approach. We weave targeted machine learning into the enterprise planning system to solve specific operational problems where better decisions create real value.

Built into the system, not bolted on top

Organic AI Planner is part of a broader enterprise planning environment.

That means the machine learning is applied where it belongs, inside the workflows, rules, and operational decisions that planners already need to make.

The goal is not AI looking for a problem. The goal is targeted intelligence solving specific planning problems better, faster, and with more consistency.

That is why the O8 approach is practical. It focuses on real decision points like what to order, how to build shipments, how to schedule production, and how to manage capacity under pressure.

The commercial model can scale with the customer too, from self-serve upload-based starts for very small teams through to supported enterprise transformations and full operating-model redesign.

Shipment Building

Use targeted machine learning to improve how shipments are grouped, built, and executed under real operational constraints.

Production Scheduling

Apply intelligence to scheduling decisions where sequencing, constraints, and trade-offs directly affect plant performance.

Capacity Management

Support better capacity decisions by identifying where bottlenecks, trade-offs, and adjustments matter most.

And other focused use cases

Deploy targeted intelligence where there is a real planning problem to solve, not where AI simply sounds fashionable.

Why AI Supply Planning, Not Just Demand Planning, Is the Real Goal

The real commercial opportunity is not simply predicting demand more accurately. It is using intelligence to make better supply decisions and move from recommendation to execution with confidence.
