prognotix - AI Forecasting and Optimization Platform

Overview

Your forecast is only the starting point. prognotix turns it into decisions: what to order, where to store it, how much energy to procure.

Most companies already have a forecast. What they lack is the step from forecast to decision. prognotix connects both. It forecasts demand with 70+ AI models, and its Inventory and Warehouse modules turn that forecast into order proposals and slotting tasks. You see the effect in capital released, stockouts avoided, travel time saved.

prognotix is built for planners, purchasing and warehouse teams in energy and grid operations, transport and contract logistics, food and beverage, and chemicals, plastics, paper and packaging. Your planners run it without code and without waiting for IT or data science.

It runs as an Azure Managed Application in your own tenant, so your data does not leave it. prognotix complements SAP, D365, Oracle, Databricks, Fabric and Power BI instead of replacing them.

How It Works

prognotix works in three layers. Start with the forecast, then add the decision your business owns.

1. Forecast. Connect your ERP, data lake or CSV files. prognotix prepares your data, trains 70+ models across AutoGluon, Nixtla and Azure ML, and keeps the winner per time series. Every forecast comes with an uncertainty band, from monthly down to 15-minute resolution.
2. Optimize. The Inventory module calculates order proposals per article from forecast, stock, open orders, lead time, service level, minimum order quantity and pack size. The Warehouse module recomputes ABC classes from the forecast every period and ranks relocations by net benefit.
3. Prove. In a Value Assessment, our data scientists translate your baseline, the achieved forecast error and the module effect into euros per year.

Benefits

• Release working capital. Safety stocks follow the forecast and the service level you set per article class, for example 98%.
• Avoid stockouts and overstock. Order proposals account for lead time, open orders, minimum order quantity and pack size.
• Cut warehouse travel time. Fast movers move closer to dispatch as soon as their forecast ABC class changes.
• Lower balancing energy costs. Load and residual load forecasts run at 15-minute resolution with weather and calendar drivers.
• See the value in euros. The Value Report compares capital released, stockouts avoided and forecast error against your baseline.

Key Features

• Automated data preparation and exploration, plus notebooks for custom steps
• External drivers such as Eurostat GDP, weather and public holidays
• Feature importance and an uncertainty band for every forecast
• Inventory module: safety stocks, reorder points, days of cover and what-if on lead time
• Warehouse module: deviation report against your WMS, slotting for inbound deliveries and a relocation worklist
• Export to your ERP, data warehouse, Power BI or CSV via API or data lake

Proven in Production

Westfalen Weser Netz: 15-minute load forecasts in production 2 months after the start.

“The initial results already showed prediction accuracy comparable to our current software, with the potential for even better results through further optimization.” — Julian Schiewer, Specialist for Electricity Balance Group Management @ WWN

Zumtobel: more than 90% accuracy in procurement and material planning across product families and regions, written back into SAP.

“With automated, data-driven forecasts, we developed a robust solution that allows us to respond more effectively to market changes and use resources more efficiently.” — Jens Jürgens, Project Manager and Managing Director Operations @ Zumtobel

Start With a Value Assessment

You decide on a production license once you see your own numbers. The Value Assessment covers one use case with your data, runs 2–3 months and includes 10–15 days of a senior data scientist. You receive a Value Report in euros and a business case for your management.
