Future-Proofed Planning

Drive Best-in-Class Results with Integrated Supply Planning

Manage Finished Goods Production Using a Network-Wide View

Modus Planning’s Network view gives you a consolidated days-on-hand view of inventory over time. When sales adds in a promotion, instantly see that reflected in your inventory positions. 

Create production orders across your entire business using days-on-hand targets and see everything you need to know about production attainment and forecast accuracy in a unified view.

Build Bills-of-Material 

As the forecast changes, you instantly have the most up-to-date raw material and product cost forecasts at your fingertips.

Optimize inventory Allocation to Your 3PL Network

Once you produce, the inventory needs to be in the right spot! With Modus Planning’s inventory allocation and truck building workflow, you can easily allocate stock, then build trucks around the plan.

Never Be Surprised

Finished Goods Planning Built from a Collaborative Bottom-Up Plan

Predicting customer warehouse inventory isn’t just about keeping your brand in stock, it’s about delighting your customers while keeping the supply chain fulfillments in-line with the forecast. 

Stock Requirement Planning

With the shelf-life variables we have in place, you have the line of sight needed to reduce spoilage before the order ships. Even for non-perishable goods, when inventories are high enough, spoilage risk is real. Make sure you are never in that position.

Order Lead Time

Change case counts and delivery dates on each order to understand how inventory positions are impacted. Need to see if rounding to a full pallet will create a shrink risk, we got you covered.

Integrations for seamless management of your business

In supply chain, systems need to connect. Modus understands this and builds integrations and workflows to save your brand time and give you the confidence you need to execute. 

Case Shipments

Build connections to sync sales orders into Modus and update sales orders from Modus into the ERP.

Inventory Positions

Keep inbound inventory positions up to date to make sure you have the best possible view of your forecasted inventory.  

Purchase Orders

Update purchase orders by creating a feed between Modus and your ERP. Persistently track attainment.

Inbound Deployments

Transfer orders can be created and issued directly to your ERP.

Modus Supply Planning is the View
We've Always Wanted

We've managed distribution network inventory and know how frustrating it can be to look at open orders vs. the forecast over time. What we've built is a reflection of what we've needed to use ourselves.

Challenge

Prior to using Modus Planning's cloud-based platform, Beyond Better Foods faced trade issues related to the deep fragmentation of their overall process. Rather than an integrated system to manage, Beyond Better Foods used many diverse spreadsheets to plan every aspect of trade, which created many isolated realities versus one cohesive plan for the company. This disorganization led to missed opportunities and frustration as the company continued to grow at a breakneck pace.

Solution

Jen stated that "post-Modus, everything lives in the same place... really we pull everything out of Modus." Using Modus turned Beyond Better Foods into a streamlined, focused, and communicative CPG powerhouse. From trade promotion to distribution and financial forecasts, along with every aspect in between, Modus Planning provides one centralized system to evaluate each part of the business. This allows employees to better understand the bigger picture and how one aspect impacts another.

"Prior to using Modus Planning, we were just constantly course correcting and fixing things versus moving forward."
Jen Haberman, COO, Enlightened

Running a brand should be fun!
