CHALLENGES
The part is in the wrong warehouse. Service is waiting.
For spare parts planning and aftersales teams with several warehouses, branches or service regions. numi connects intermittent demand, installed machines and network inventory to recommend concrete replenishment actions.
Past sales alone cannot explain infrequent demand
Installed machines, bills of materials, repair history and failure probabilities complement consumption data. This provides a planning foundation for parts with intermittent demand.
Installed baseIntermittent demand
Protect service without stocking every part everywhere
numi evaluates lead times, service targets and critical parts together. Your team receives prioritized replenishment and transfer recommendations for each location.

FAQs about spare parts management and planning
How quickly can numi be used for spare parts planning?
You can start with a selected use case or module and expand the scope later. Implementation starts with a defined parts network or use case, a data connection and joint validation. Timing depends on the system landscape, data quality, available machine and service data, and the required integration scope.
What data does numi need for spare parts planning?
The foundation is inventory, consumption and demand, item master data, lead times, stock movements and service targets from the ERP or data warehouse. Installed base, machine and repair data can enrich the forecast depending on the use case. Consumption-based service parts planning does not require a complete IoT history. We define which additional data is needed for machine-based forecasts around your use case.
Can numi consider multiple warehouses and locations?
Yes. numi is designed to evaluate inventory and availability across multiple locations and derive replenishment proposals, relocation potential and risks from that view.
Who uses numi recommendations?
Typical users are after sales teams, spare parts planning, purchasing, supply chain management, service operations and operational planners in branches or plants.
Can proposals be transferred directly into ERP?
Replenishment and transfer recommendations can be sent to the connected ERP after review or within defined approval rules. Available actions and status feedback depend on your integration and operational processes.
What is spare parts management software?
Spare parts management software plans and controls spare parts inventory across warehouses and locations. It combines spare parts forecasting, inventory optimization and replenishment decisions to secure availability while avoiding excess stock. numi adds AI-driven recommendations and automated workflows down to the ERP.
Does numi replace conventional spare parts warehouse software?
No. numi complements it. Warehouse software manages stock and transactions; numi supports decisions about which parts to stock, where, when and in what quantities. This includes network transfer recommendations, order proposals and service-level monitoring across locations.
