AI Supply Planning
AI supply planning for faster, more executable supply decisions.
O8 helps manufacturers and distributors move beyond AI demand planning into intelligent, low-touch supply planning, autonomous decision support, and execution-ready outputs.
Trusted by global organisations including Shell, BT, and 3M.
The forecast-to-order gap
Most AI in supply chain stops at insight. O8 is built for action.
Why O8
From prediction to commitment
Most planning teams already have enough dashboards. The missing capability is a planning system that can turn data, policy, and constraints into trusted action.
Where conventional planning still breaks
- Manual overrides dominate the last mile from forecast to replenishment.
- Spreadsheet workarounds absorb planner time and reduce trust.
- Teams see issues earlier but still move too slowly to act on them.
How O8 improves decisions
- Decision support grounded in constraints, segmentation, and exceptions.
- Mechanised planning workflows for routine supply decisions.
- Execution-ready outputs that improve responsiveness and planner productivity.
Modular architecture
A modular planning stack, proven O8 suite plus Organic AI Planner
O8 provides the mature end-to-end planning suite. Organic AI Planner adds a new AI decision layer that can run standalone, alongside selected modules, or as part of a broader O8 transformation.
Deployment model
ERP and source systems
Existing ERP, WMS, spreadsheet, and planning data flows remain in place.
O8 planning suite
Connected planning modules manage end-to-end enterprise workflows across demand, supply, execution, S&OP, and reporting.
Organic AI Planner
A modular AI planning engine for fast-start uploaded-data use cases or deeper ERP and suite-integrated deployments.
Demand Planning
Hierarchies, transparent AI, event history mining, scenarios, and demand hub integration.
Supply Planning
Segmentation, buffer calculation, replenishment creation, planning rules, DDMRP, ROC, MTO, and capacity planning.
Execution Planning
Order generation, ATP, prioritisation, alerts, lead-time management, and material or capacity checks.
S&OP & Conditioning
Inventory projections, finance views, auto segmentation, planning rules, and scenario modelling.
Reporting & Analysis
Control cockpit, self-service analytics, dashboards, exports, auto-email, and compliance metrics.
Outcomes
Built for planners who need confidence, not just visibility
O8 is designed for businesses that need operational decisions to move faster without losing control.
Faster response
Compress planning cycles from multi-day review loops into governed exception handling.
Lower touch
Reserve human judgment for the exceptions that matter most commercially.
Higher trust
Explainable recommendations make it easier to move from analysis to action.
Thought leadership
A clean insights hub for category-shaping ideas
Use O8 insight papers to explain the shift from AI demand planning toward autonomous supply planning and executable supply decisions.
O8 Insight Paper
Why AI Supply Planning, Not Just Demand Planning, Is the Real Goal
The real commercial opportunity is not simply predicting demand more accurately. It is using intelligence to make better supply decisions and move from recommendation to execution with confidence.
O8 Insight Paper
Can Planning Become Largely Autonomous? The Real Opportunity and Limits
Planning can become largely autonomous in the sense that much more of its routine work can be intelligently mechanised under defined controls, with humans focused where judgement and accountability matter most.
