Demand planning for consumable CPG

Every morning, the short list
is already written.

Planster re-checks every SKU, order, and channel overnight against one forecast built across DTC, Amazon, retail, and wholesale. You get four things to decide, not four hundred to check — with the purchase orders drafted. Every order still needs your approval.

The Planster agent morning digest — ranked action items with order recommendations

What it’s reading

One demand forecast across every channel, fitted per SKU from your own sales history, netted against what’s on hand, what’s on order, and what’s already committed. The agent doesn’t have its own numbers. It has yours.

Sales in Shopify. Inventory in a 3PL portal. Retail in an email thread with a broker. The plan that ties it together is a spreadsheet, and it was right on the Friday you built it.

It runs at 2am so you don’t run it at 7am.

Nothing here needs you awake for it. The sync times are fixed and the list is waiting when you open your laptop.

  1. 7pm

    Cart data lands

    Orders, returns, and product changes from every storefront you sell on.

  2. 11pm

    Warehouse data lands

    On-hand and inbound from every WMS and 3PL you run.

  3. 2am

    It re-checks everything

    Every SKU, every open order, every channel, measured against your plan.

  4. 7am

    Forecasts regenerate

    One model per SKU, re-picked where the pattern changed overnight.

  5. Before you sit down

    The list is written

    Four things to decide, ranked. The purchase orders that need writing are drafted and waiting in the app.

Three things, every day, without being asked.

The email is the interface

"2 SKUs need POs this week, 1 stockout risk." Quiet night, it says all clear.

The paperwork is waiting

Nothing reaches a supplier until you approve it in Planster.

Answers carry receipts

"4,212 units on hand · as of last night’s sync" — linked to the screen that proves it.

What it works on

One forecast underneath all of it. Every capability has its own page saying what the agent does there — and what it can’t.

Know what’s coming

One forecast across every channel, and every number on it accountable.

150+ systems on a schedule. Nothing to update by hand.

When the answer is “it depends”

Master Plan and Pipeline are where you work out what a decision costs before you make it. The agent watches both and tells you when one needs you.

Every yes commits cash. See how much first.

Add 22,400 units for a promo and Planster shows you it commits about $292K in production runs — before you say yes, not in next month’s cash report.

What the agent can’t do

It reads everything you can see. It ranks what needs your attention. It writes the purchase orders. It answers questions with a link to the proof. That’s the list.

It cannot promote a plan. It cannot approve an order. It cannot send anything to a supplier. It cannot delete. There’s no setting that changes this, which means the worst case is a draft you delete.

Happy Tooth Products used Planster to plan their Walmart launch.

Our massive growth would not have been possible without Planster. It’s critical to the fabric of our business and has us dialed on demand planning and inventory. Running a business is hard. Having great people and tools like Steve and the team at Planster make all the difference.
