How does Crateflow, our AI-powered planning platform, work?
We stop the forecasting and planning chaos by AI-powered supply chain optimization and transform your supply chain into a profit engine.
- Get a clear picture of your supply chain performance with real-time visibility into key metrics.

Demand Forecasting & Demand Planning Platform
Crateflow tracks inventory levels, profitability, order fulfilment, and supplier performance.
We segment portfolios with rolling different analysis and surface early-warning signals for demand drops, lead-time drifts, and campaign conflicts.
We simultaneously detect over- and under-stocking of each SKU across different locations and transform complex data streams into clear, prioritized action recommendations.
We provide ERP parameters (min/max, reorder points, safety stocks) via API/export. Run what-if simulations to quantify working-capital release and service impact before changes go live.

Outdated planning tools are costing you market share and profits. We built Crateflow to give you powerful production insights in minutes, so you can stop costly over-production and avoid expensive shortages. It's time to stop letting yesterday's methods cost you your future.
