Shortages become visible just before assembly
numi checks inventory, purchase orders and demand across multi-level bills of materials. See which assemblies, production orders and customer orders depend on a delayed part.
For industry & manufacturing
Keep materials available. Keep production on track.
numi connects bills of materials, inventory and delivery dates to prioritized actions. So purchasing and production can detect shortages early and act with confidence.

CHALLENGES
One missing part. Many affected orders.
For purchasing, materials planning and production planning in manufacturing and machine building. numi shows which material shortages put your orders at risk and which actions need attention first.
Delivery dates change, but the consequences are unclear
Purchasing and planning review supplier responses in the context of affected orders. Critical purchase orders are prioritized and escalations are tracked with clear ownership and responses.
High inventory protects the wrong materials
numi analyzes safety stocks, lot sizes and lead times. Your team reviews parameter recommendations and their effects before changes are transferred to the ERP.
From reactive firefighting to proactive material control
Identify shortages earlier, adjust inventory parameters and give procurement, planning and production a shared view. Replace manual coordination with prioritized material control.

YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN APPS
An integrated platform for missing parts management, inventory optimization, and supplier management.
Concrete applications that help teams catch production risks earlier, steer inventory more precisely, and evaluate suppliers faster.
Detect and prevent material shortages early
Identify critical bottlenecks before they put production at risk and automatically prioritize the most important actions.
- See early which materials put production orders at risk.
- Prioritize issues by delivery date, production, and revenue impact.
- Trigger escalations before delays turn into downtime.
Optimize inventory with data-driven parameters
Continuously review your planning parameters and adjust inventory levels based on real data instead of static assumptions.
- Continuously analyze safety stock levels, planning parameters, and lead times.
- Detect outdated master data and unnecessary buffers automatically.
- Push recommended adjustments directly back to your ERP system.
Coordinate supplier delivery dates
Manage exceptions and shortages directly with your suppliers using structured workflows and full transparency.
- Route critical shortages and orders from planners to buyers and suppliers with structured workflows.
- Notify suppliers automatically via email or through the numi supplier portal.
- Write back confirmed dates and quantities directly into your ERP.

FAQs for numi in industry & manufacturing
Why is numi different from other supply chain software?
numi combines multi-level shortage analysis, inventory optimization, demand forecasting and supplier collaboration with operational execution. The platform evaluates which orders and dates are affected by a material risk and derives prioritized actions. Rules, approvals and ERP writebacks are configured around your processes.
How is numi different from ERP or MRP systems?
numi complements your ERP and MRP with a shared view of material risks, order impact and actions. Existing inventory, bills of materials, purchase orders and production orders form the foundation. Your ERP remains the system of record for transactions; selected recommendations and changes can be written back according to agreed rules.
How long does implementation take?
You can start with a selected use case or module and expand the scope later. Implementation starts with a defined use case, a data connection and joint validation. Timing depends on the system landscape, data quality, BOM structure and required level of automation. Initial analysis and productive ERP integration are therefore planned separately.
What types of industrial companies is numi built for?
numi is especially suited for industrial companies and machine builders with complex BOM structures, many components, variable lead times, and close coordination across purchasing, planning, production, and suppliers.
Can numi analyze missing parts across multiple BOM levels?
Yes. numi analyzes material availability across full multi-level BOM structures and shows which components, assemblies, production orders, and customer orders are affected.
Which parameters can numi optimize?
numi can analyze safety stock, reorder points, lot sizes, replenishment lead times, and other planning parameters, then derive concrete change recommendations.
How does supplier collaboration work?
Suppliers can process forecasts, open orders, escalations, and questions through a structured supplier portal. This reduces email chaos and manual follow-up work.
