SUPPLY CHAIN

Demand, supply and capacity, planned as one system

When every function plans from its own data, in its own tool, the ‘integrated’ plan usually comes down to whoever is most senior in the room. We build supply chain planning on Pigment so demand, supply, inventory and capacity share one data layer, and so your planning team can run it day to day.

Demand forecasting

Every supply chain team has a statistical baseline that’s broadly reasonable. The real value, and the real risk, sits in the overlays: the promotional lifts and commercial intelligence that usually live in someone’s head. We design that step as a set of discrete, measurable adjustments, so each one can be reviewed and improved rather than lost in an unrecorded override.

  • A structured overlay process for promotional lifts and commercial intelligence, with each adjustment owned and measurable
  • A consensus demand workflow that runs your actual S&OP review, with assumptions recorded at each gate
  • Forecast value-add measurement at every stage, so the next cycle can tell which overrides actually helped

Operations and capacity

A spreadsheet capacity model divides demand by line rate and calls it done. Real capacity is bounded by changeovers, maintenance windows and labour availability, and a bottleneck on one line can quietly starve everything downstream. We model capacity as the connected system it is, so the constraint that actually binds gets found early enough to do something about it.

  • Multi-resource capacity modelling across lines, labour pools and machine groups at once
  • Constraint visibility at a horizon where you still have options, not just the expensive ones
  • CapEx scenario analysis for a new line, outsourcing or extended hours, fed straight into the investment case

Supply and inventory

An ERP runs reorder calculations site by site, so each warehouse optimises for itself. Across a network, that often means excess stock in slow-moving locations while fast-moving sites go short. We build the network-level planning layer above the ERP, so inventory decisions are visible in working capital and cash, not only in the warehouse.

  • Inventory policy set by SKU and location, based on demand variability, lead time and service target
  • Working capital trade-off modelling connected directly to the financial plan
  • Excess and obsolescence flagged early, with scenarios for clearance or managed run-down

AI in your supply chain plan

Because demand, supply and capacity share one model, AI works across connected data rather than a single silo. Your team can bring external signals into the forecast, catch ageing stock before write-down, and recalculate safety stock automatically as variability shifts.

Accuracy and bias analysis: Surfaces systematic forecasting bias

Automatic recalculation: Monitors and recalculate stock before preventing disruption downstream

Demand sensing and MCP: Map external signals into your forecasts

How we deliver it

We start with the process that hurts most, whether that’s the demand consensus, the network position or the binding constraint, and prove the model against your own numbers in weeks. Your team owns the environment from there, adding scenarios and extending the model as the business changes.

Pigment is trusted by some of the largest organisations, globally

“When you have an EPM system that’s not trusted by the organization, then there is low engagement, which means low quality inputs, and low quality outputs. With Pigment, we managed to gain trust pretty fast, because data is readily available, it’s user friendly, and you see the results fast. We have 800 metrics already in our model, which will continue to grow” “With Pigment, we’ve already seen significant improvements. Tasks that used to take days are now completed in minutes. This has boosted morale within the team, as they feel they now have tools that allow them to showcase their capabilities”
