The reliable spine
The reliable spine is non-AI stock, order, batch and cost arithmetic with clear assumptions and source-linked numbers.
Specialty & Fine Chemicals
Raw-material, batch and demand planning sanity layer
Raw-material prices move, minimum order quantities bite, and batches are planned from stale spreadsheets. The firm over-buys slow intermediates, runs short on critical inputs, or misses that a formulation margin has changed before the batch is made.
Who has it
Batch manufacturers, intermediates and API-precursor makers, coatings and resin formulators, and agrochemical or pigment producers all need this where raw-material cover, batch plan and order book interact.
What we build
A read-only planning layer over order book, batch plan, raw-material stock, recent landed cost and supplier lead time, showing slow stock, stock-out risk, forecast-vs-actual gaps and working capital tied in raw material and finished stock.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
Where AI helps
AI is limited to surfacing patterns and scenario ranges from the firm's own history; it does not auto-buy, auto-plan or own the forecast.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
Planning meetings start from one current picture of stock, cover, cost and risk; the buyer and planner still decide.
Illustrative outcome
Over-buying of slow intermediates and stock-outs on critical inputs both fall as cover, lead time and the order book are read from one current picture, and a formulation whose margin has moved is caught before the batch is made rather than after. Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
