My Praxie analytics software transformed our operations, enabling data-driven decisions and streamlining our manufacturing process.
The supply plan balances. Your suppliers never agreed to it.
Replace MRP output nobody trusts with AI that plans supply against real supplier lead times, capacity and reliability — so the plan you publish is one that can actually be delivered.

Praxie's innovation solution stood out from other options because it can be customized so quickly to fit our exact process requirements. Plus, it is incredibly easy to use and manage.
The system says it is feasible. Everyone plans around it anyway.
Running MRP was the easy part. Producing a plan your suppliers can actually meet is the job.
“The material was supposed to be here last week.”
“That lead time in the system has been wrong for a year.”
A balanced plan built on parameters nobody has reviewed since go-live.
You do not need a faster run. You need the plan to reflect what suppliers actually do — not what the master data says.
If you own supply
Is this your plan?
Most supply planners and S&OP leaders recognise at least four of these. If you recognise six, the rest of this page is written for you.
- Lead times in the system do not match reality.
- Planners keep private spreadsheets to correct the output.
- Safety stock is set once and never revisited.
- Supplier capacity is assumed to be infinite.
- Exceptions are so numerous nobody reviews them.
- The plan is republished weekly and ignored daily.
- Expediting is the real planning mechanism.
- “Can they actually deliver that?” is answered by phoning them.
None of this is a planning problem. It is a parameter reality problem.
Is this you?
Worked example — multi-supplier manufacturing operationThe plan used to assume the master data was true.
Assumed↓Observedwhere lead times and capacity come from
Thousands of parts, hundreds of suppliers, and planning parameters set at implementation and rarely reviewed since.
Because the plan was built on assumed lead times and infinite supplier capacity, planners corrected it privately — which meant the published plan and the real one were never the same document.
With AI planning against observed supplier performance rather than static parameters, the published plan becomes feasible, and the private spreadsheets stop being necessary.

With Praxie
A plan that can be delivered.
- Planned against observed lead times
- Supplier capacity and reliability included
- Exceptions few enough to review
- One plan, not a public and a private one

Why MRP Output Gets Overridden
Spreadsheets &
Manual Supply Planning
- Manual spreadsheet updates
- Slow shortage response
- Limited supply visibility
- Higher risk of errors
- Hard to scale across sites
ERP / MRP
Supply Planning
- Connected to ERP/MRP data
- Often rigid planning logic
- Limited scenario flexibility
- Slow to reflect supplier changes
- Heavy IT dependency
Traditional
Supply Planning Tools
- Stronger planning logic
- Good inventory and supply views
- Can be complex to configure
- Often siloed from workflows
- Higher rollout cost
Point
AI Tools
- Useful for narrow analysis
- Adds isolated forecasting or alerts
- Limited end-to-end planning control
- May require stitching tools
- Less supplier and inventory context

Questions Supply Planners Ask Us First
The objections we hear in the first 20 minutes — answered plainly.
1
How does AI actually improve supply planning — and can planners trust it?
Answer: The AI supports planner judgment by connecting demand signals, inventory, suppliers, lead times, purchase orders, BOM requirements, capacity, and shortage risks. Recommendations are explainable, so planners can see why an action is suggested and remain in control of final decisions.
2
How much manual spreadsheet work and firefighting does this reduce?
Answer: AI-powered supply planning reduces the repetitive work of reconciling ERP exports, inventory reports, supplier updates, purchase orders, and shortage lists. Teams spend less time chasing data and more time acting on the highest-priority supply risks.
3
What happens when supplier lead times, demand, or inventory positions change?
Answer: The system updates the supply picture and highlights what changed, which orders or materials are affected, and what actions are available. It can recommend options such as expediting, reallocating inventory, adjusting replenishment, using alternate parts, or changing supplier priorities.
4
Will this help identify shortages and supply risks earlier?
Answer: Yes. The AI continuously monitors supply constraints, supplier commitments, inventory exposure, purchase order status, and material availability to flag shortage risks before they disrupt production or customer commitments.
5
Can this help reduce both stockouts and excess inventory?
Answer: Yes. AI-powered supply planning helps teams see where inventory is too low, too high, or poorly positioned. It can recommend supply actions that balance service levels, working capital, supplier risk, and production feasibility instead of optimizing one metric in isolation.
6
How does this work with ERP, MRP, MES, purchasing, and supplier data?
Answer: AI-powered supply planning does not replace core systems. It acts as an intelligent planning layer that connects data from ERP, MRP, MES, purchasing systems, inventory records, supplier updates, and spreadsheets, then turns that data into exceptions, scenarios, recommended actions, and workflow follow-up.
7
Is this better than traditional MRP, ERP planning, or point AI tools?
Answer: Yes. Traditional systems are often strong at transactions and planning logic, but they can be rigid, slow to interpret, and disconnected from real-time exception management. Point AI tools may help with a narrow task, but Praxie’s approach connects supply context, AI recommendations, dashboards, alerts, scenarios, and workflows in one planning workspace.
Bottom line: AI-powered supply planning helps teams move from reactive shortage management to proactive, connected supply decisions that improve service levels, inventory health, and planner productivity.
