Start lean with a tailored AI app for your most pressing planning challenge and build your ideal solution – module by module, with full focus on AI and a workflow that fits you exactly.
You dread the next cumbersome, costly extension or migration of a system that already doesn't fit 100% today?
You know your requirements will change in 5 years, but you don't want to lock yourself into an inflexible solution now?
You're paying for an overloaded platform with 80% unused features while the one crucial capability is missing?
Let's not build an app that tries to do everything. Instead, let's create smart data products that last, and on top of them focused AI applications you need today.
Results are what count. Our approach optimizes technology – and, above all, your business outcomes.
You only pay for what you truly need and use.
Fast problem-solving instead of endless project cycles.
No vendor lock-in thanks to open formats and modular architecture.
Many planning tools leave the most important job to you: entering the future numbers. We don't. Our solutions are based on objective, data-driven forecasts generated with future, our reliable AI forecasting engine.
future is the result of a decade of forecasting expertise in supply chain contexts.
The AI detects patterns fully automatically and selects the perfect forecasting strategy for your products.
The right package for every company size.
Scalable, secure, and hosted in Germany (ISO 27001-compliant hosting).
Together we define data, features, and the optimal planning process. Your domain knowledge is key.
We build your data model, develop the app, and configure the AI forecasts. We stay in close contact with you throughout.
You test the solution thoroughly on our servers. Together we validate performance and stability.
We hand over the finished, containerized app to you or your hosting partner – you're ready to go!
Individual & tailored – you get a lean solution for your specific challenge, not a bloated platform.
Future-proof & flexible – the foundation for growth is set. You can easily connect additional apps or swap modules.
No lock-in – with open formats and container technology, you’re not tied to anyone. Not to us, not to a hosting provider.
Forecasts by experts – benefit from the forecasting experts behind future, giving you significantly faster access to truly strong forecasts.
AI-assisted efficiency – we use AI not only in the app but also in development. That makes your custom solution fast and cost-effective.
The challenge: A healthy food manufacturer suffered from recurring shortages of raw materials. Manual demand planning based on spreadsheets was error-prone, time-consuming, and couldn't keep up with surging demand and complex lead times. The result: costly out-of-stocks and lost revenue.
Instead of launching a large ERP project, we solved the most pressing pain point together. We implemented a lean, AI-based purchasing app following our Slim Build approach. At its core is the future forecasting engine by prognostica for precise product forecasts, connected with inventory and supplier data. Planners now receive automatic order suggestions while retaining manual control where needed.
We coined the term Slim Build AI to make three things clear:
This way, you can start using a fully tailored app within 8 weeks.
Of course, we can adapt the flow to your situation, e.g., if you want a longer test phase or need a development pause due to summer holidays. Just let us know.
A data product is a self-contained package of data that serves a specific business purpose – complete with everything needed to understand and use it reliably.
In the context of supply chain planning, think of data products as the reliable building blocks of your planning system:
Examples in your supply chain:
Why data products matter for your planning:
Instead of having scattered spreadsheets and disconnected systems, each data product:
In our Slim Build approach:
We build stable data products as your foundation – these last for years. On top, we create focused AI apps that can evolve or be replaced as your needs change. Your demand forecasts (data product) remain consistent even if you swap out the purchasing app for an inventory optimization app.
This means you’re not locked into a monolithic system. Your data products are like LEGO blocks – standardized, interchangeable, and ready to support whatever planning solution you need next.
The bottom line: Data products turn your supply chain data into organized, reliable assets that any planning application can use – today and in the future.
