The Mobility House now plans purchasing and inventory with numi. The Munich-based provider of charging and energy solutions for electric vehicles serves private customers, businesses and automotive partners — in a market where demand moves faster than the hardware behind it can be sourced.
Planning hardware in a market shaped by policy
Few consumer-facing markets move as sharply as e-mobility. Demand responds to subsidy programmes, tariff changes, vehicle launches and energy prices — factors that can shift the run rate of a charging product within weeks, in either direction. The hardware behind it, meanwhile, is sourced on lead times measured in months, with electronic components that have their own availability constraints.
That gap between how fast demand moves and how slowly supply can be adjusted is the core planning challenge. It is compounded by a mixed demand profile: continuous online and installer-channel volume on one side, larger project and fleet business with its own timing on the other. Across the full assortment and every market, planning has to reconcile both without letting the lumpy business distort the steady one.
With numi, The Mobility House combines these capabilities in one supply chain intelligence platform.
The go-live includes:
- AI demand forecasting at SKU level to make demand planning more precise across hardware, accessories and spare parts.
- Automated replenishment proposals and order creation to reduce manual effort and speed up purchasing workflows.
- Supplier performance monitoring with a full KPI system to create a shared, fact-based view of supplier reliability and lead times.
- Dynamic alerts for real-time market responsiveness so teams can react faster to changing conditions.
What changes in day-to-day purchasing
The result is less manual work, fewer stockouts and smarter purchasing decisions. By turning operational data into timely recommendations, The Mobility House's team can focus more of its expertise on the decisions that matter most to customers and the business.
We would like to thank the entire team at The Mobility House for their trust and partnership. We are proud to support this next step in their supply chain transformation and look forward to the journey ahead.
