What is SmarterMRP?

SmarterMRP is supply planning software for industrial manufacturers. It turns customer demand into forecasts, production orders and purchase proposals that follow each plant's real rules, on top of the ERP the company already has.

The problem it solves

Many plants still plan in spreadsheets, with master data spread between the ERP and the shop floor. Every error ends up as an expedite, excess stock or a line stop. SmarterMRP validates bills of materials, routings and planning parameters first, then calculates what to make and what to buy, so plants carry less unnecessary stock at the same service level.

Key capabilities

  • Master data governance: bills of materials, routings and planning parameters in one validated model.
  • Demand forecasting: collaborative forecasts that combine historical data with planners' knowledge.
  • Material requirements planning (MRP): production orders and purchase proposals tied to real, prioritized needs.
  • Procurement planning: purchase planning connected to suppliers and lead times.
  • Inventory optimization: less unnecessary stock at the same service level.
  • Traceability: every decision traceable from demand to finished product.

Works with the existing ERP

SmarterMRP does not replace the ERP: it runs on top of it and sends the resulting orders back. It also integrates with Siemens Opcenter Planning and Opcenter Scheduling, handing them a feasible supply plan. It is built on Mendix, Siemens' enterprise low-code platform, by a Siemens Technology Partner, and can be deployed in the cloud or on-premise. It is available in English, Spanish and French.

Customers

Manufacturers in automotive, electronics, food and beverage, chemicals, life sciences and industrial equipment use SmarterMRP, including Nissan, Kinematics-P4Q, Faes Farma, Grupo Palacios and INTARCON. At Nissan Ávila, weekly planning went from 5 days to 4 hours.
