Inventory Optimisation
and MRP Planning.
Too much of the wrong stock and not enough of the right stock ties up cash and lets customers down. PlanThread is a new DMG product, available now with a 14-day free trial, that sits on top of the ERP you already use. It aligns your bills of materials, runs MRP to suggest planned orders, sets safety stock and reorder points, finds slow-moving and obsolete stock and tracks cycle count accuracy. When an ERP is connected, it stays the system of record: PlanThread reads your purchase orders and stock and gives your planners a clear plan to act on. It is designed to work with Orbis ERP, and connectors for Sage, Business Central and SAP Business One are planned.
Ideal for: Manufacturers, distributors, supply chain planners and operations teams on any ERP · Watch the 60-second tour
Everything You Need
The core features that make PlanThread work for you.
MRP Engine
Net demand against stock, open orders and lead times to suggest planned orders, with clear exception messages for planners to work through.
BOM Alignment
Check bills of materials for gaps and mismatches before they reach the plan, so the suggestions you act on are built on clean data.
Safety Stock & Reorder Points
Set safety stock, reorder points and order quantities from demand and lead time variation, rather than rules of thumb.
SLOB Disposition
Find slow-moving and obsolete stock, see what it is costing you and plan what to do with it.
Cycle Count Accuracy
Plan cycle counts and track accuracy over time, so you can trust the stock figures behind every plan.
Rough-Cut Capacity Check
See whether the plan fits the capacity you have before you release it, and spot overloaded periods early.
SIPOC & RACI Frameworks
Map suppliers, inputs, processes, outputs and customers, and agree who is responsible for each planning task.
Three-Tier Reporting
Daily, weekly and monthly dashboards for planners, managers and the board, plus a printable planning pack.
ERP System-of-Record Mode
When an ERP is connected, purchase orders and stock are read-only in PlanThread, so there is one version of the truth.
CSV Import
Get started without an integration project: import items, stock, orders and BOMs from spreadsheets.
