The ultimate goal of supply chain planning is to allocate the right amount of supply at the right location and the right time to satisfy customers' ever-changing demand.

The Convect Flow Optimizer is the world's leading software that puts the entire supply-demand network in a holistic view.

It matches the supply and demand at the most granular level, allowing companies to better serve customers at a lower cost.

Responsive

Our algorithms work at irregular times as well as regular times. Deviations and disruptions can occur in different shapes and forms. Whether it is shutting down a DC due to pandemic or a missing a delivery from a supplier, it is imperative to be able to quickly respond to such events. Our software allows you to continuously rebalance the inventory and logistics networks to meet demand at the fine granular level.
