BRAINPLAN
Shortages only become visible when the customer calls. Your planning depends on one person.
BrainPlan forecasts and plans based on your own company data. Private AI language model. Your data is never shared with public AI models.
Sound familiar?
You plan on gut feeling. And you know it.
The planner is sick
Your planning runs on one person. That person knows the patterns, the exceptions, the customers who always order late. Sick? On holiday? Planning stalls. The rest of the team can't take over. Because the knowledge lives in a head, not in a system.
Shortages visible too late
You only see stock shortages when the customer calls. Or when production stops. Meanwhile you order too much of what you don't need and too little of what you do. Rush orders, extra transport costs, missed deliveries. Every week.
Spreadsheets as planning system
Your forecast lives in Excel. Manually updated every month. Three people, three versions, three outcomes. Nobody fully trusts the numbers. But everyone plans on them.
The longer you plan on gut feeling, the more you lose to rush orders, missed deliveries and downtime.
The solution
Planning that adjusts itself. Based on your data, not on gut feeling.
BrainPlan combines data from your ERP, CRM and operational systems into a forecasting and planning system. Built on BrainGrounds, the same data layer as BrainChat and BrainDoc. Sovereign data, entirely self-managed.
Demand forecasting
Predict what you need before you need it. BrainPlan analyses historical sales data, seasonal patterns and customer behaviour. The result: predictions that outperform your best planner on a good day. Less overstock, fewer shortages, fewer rush orders.
Capacity planning
Staffing and capacity in balance. Workforce planning that accounts for demand patterns, availability and competencies. No more overstaffing on quiet days and understaffing at peak moments.
Runs on BrainGrounds (Databricks). No system replacement. Private AI language model. Your IT team stays in control. Technology that until recently was only available to organizations with their own data department.
Live in production
Van Ditmar and Betapress: predicting how many books need to be ordered.
The Netherlands' largest book distributors. Thousands of titles, fluctuating demand, seasonal peaks. The planner could no longer keep up. BrainPlan now predicts per title how many copies need to be ordered — based on sales history, trends and seasonal patterns. The result: fewer returns, fewer shortages, better availability.
Concrete figures under NDA. We'd be happy to discuss results in a quickscan.
