Planvance is AI-powered MRP and S&OP software for small and mid-size manufacturers that need a real production plan without an ERP project.
Most small plants plan in spreadsheets. Demand lives in one file, BOMs in another, stock somewhere else, and the first sign of a material shortage is a line that stops. Planvance puts demand, BOMs, stock, open orders and capacity into one model, then runs the plan for you.
What it does:
- AI demand forecasting from sales history and open orders, returned as a range with confidence rather than a single number.
- Multi-level MRP: every BOM level exploded and netted against on-hand stock, incoming receipts and open production orders.
- S&OP: demand-supply balance, replenishment plan and resource load in one monthly cycle.
- Dated shortage lists: which order is short, which material is holding it, and the date it becomes a problem.
- Purchase suggestions offset by the supplier lead times you maintain.
- What-if scenarios: move an order or change a lead time and see what breaks before you commit.
- Excel and CSV import with automatic header detection in Chinese or English: item master, BOMs, stock snapshots and open orders.
Who it is for: manufacturers with roughly 10-200 employees, running make-to-order, make-to-stock or a mix, with no dedicated planner or one person holding the plan together. Planvance is a planning system - it does not replace your ERP, accounting or shop-floor execution.
