Close the gap between your ERP and your shop floor.

Fewer plans reworked on the floor. More orders executed as launched. SmarterMRP is the cloud-native operational layer that holds your business rules where they belong — configured, governed, auditable — instead of living in spreadsheets or wired into your ERP’s core.

The Industrial Problem

Where production plans break before they reach the floor.

When your operation runs on files scattered across people, on rules that only live in someone's head, and on patches layered onto an ERP that was never meant to carry them, decision quality collapses before a single order is launched.

Master data no one trusts.

Product records, routes, resources and suppliers live in different files, different systems and different hands. BOM explosions come out wrong. Orders launch with the wrong variants. Planning spends half its week reconciling data that should have been clean from the start.

Business impact

Higher operational cost, lower delivery reliability, margin lost to errors nobody wanted to make.

A forecast that arrives late, or doesn't arrive aligned.

Product records, routes, resources and suppliers live in different files, different systems and different hands. BOM explosions come out wrong. Orders launch with the wrong variants. Planning spends half its week reconciling data that should have been clean from the start.

Business impact

Lower service levels, more urgent requests, less confidence when committing to delivery dates.

Purchasing disconnected from real need.

Rush orders. Manual adjustments. Stock that doesn't match demand. Priorities decided more by habit than by data, and by whoever shouts loudest that week.

Business impact

Capital tied up in wrong inventory, procurement overruns, stockouts that cost sales.

Business rules hidden in your planner's spreadsheet.

How orders get aggregated. How substitute materials get chosen. How lot sizes get decided. The logic that actually runs the factory lives in a workbook on one person's desktop — and when that person is out, the factory slows down.

Business impact

Dependency on specific people, zero auditability, no scalability when the business grows.

Every tweak to the plan means another patch on your ERP.

Custom code in PP. Custom fields in MRP. Adjustments layered on top of adjustments. Every upgrade becomes a project of its own. Every change becomes a negotiation with IT. The path to S/4HANA gets harder with each new patch.

Business impact

Technical debt compounds, upgrade cycles stretch out, clean-core migration becomes a bigger problem every year.

The plan that leaves the ERP isn't the plan that reaches the plant.

Scheduling reinterprets. MES fills in the blanks. The plant adjusts on the fly. By the time the order is actually executed, nobody can reconstruct why it came out the way it did.

Business impact

Lower productivity, missed deliveries, decisions nobody can defend when things go wrong.

What is SmarterMRP

The operational layer that connects planning, decision and execution.

SmarterMRP is not an ERP. It's not an APS. It's not a MES. It's the cloud-native layer between them — taking demand, forecast and master data, and turning them into orders and purchase proposals each system can actually execute. Your business rules live here: configured, not coded. Parameterized, not scattered across spreadsheets.

The Platform

An integrated platform that rolls out in pieces.

Start where the pain is sharpest. Expand scope as your organization builds operational maturity.

01

Master Data Management

Centralized governance of the operational data your factory actually runs on: products, routes, resources, suppliers, customers. Adaptive validation catches inconsistencies before they contaminate the plan. Complete audit trail on every change.

What it replaces

the half-dozen spreadsheets and shared folders where master data currently lives — and the weekly firefighting that keeps them aligned.

More information...
02

Intelligent Forecast

Statistical forecasting engine combined with sales and marketing inputs. Supports seasonality, promotional uplifts and scenario simulation. Feeds the planning and procurement chain directly, without manual handovers.

What it replaces

the month-end forecast meeting whose output never quite makes it into the plan.

More information...
03

Intelligent Work Orders

Production orders aligned with optimal routes and available materials — including substitutes, split and aggregated orders, and batch allocation. Full MRP explosion traceability from demand to execution.

What it replaces

the manual resolution of orders on the shop floor when the ERP's version doesn't fit reality.

More information...
04

Intelligent Procurement

Turns real needs into optimized purchase proposals. Handles alternative suppliers, dynamic calendars, minimum batches and lead times. Adjusts existing orders when a change in date or quantity is enough — instead of generating new ones on top

What it replaces

the buyer's private spreadsheets of supplier rules, preferences and exceptions that the ERP doesn't know about.

More information...
05

Intelligent BOM Manager

Dynamic product structures and formulations. Flexible assignment of materials and batches by rule, parameter or property. Anticipates how projected consumption will be covered before execution — including substitutes, compatible products and batch reuse criteria.

What it replaces

the gap between what engineering designs in the PLM and what the plant actually builds.

06

Integrations

Bidirectional enterprise connectors for any major ERP, APS or analytics platform. Certified native connector for Siemens Opcenter APS. Compatible with SAP, Oracle, Power BI, Snowflake, AWS and Azure.

What it replaces

the point-to-point integrations and manual exports that today hold your stack together with duct tape.

How We Make It Possible

Low-Code + AI + parameterized business rules.

The reason SmarterMRP can hold 80 to 100 percent of your business rules without custom code isn't luck — it's architecture. Every capability you've seen runs on Mendix, the enterprise low-code platform inside the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio and SAP's certified partner for clean-core extensions.

Pilar 1

Low-Code as the foundation, not as a shortcut.

SmarterMRP is built on Mendix, a Siemens-owned enterprise platform used by Fortune 500 companies in mission-critical environments. Your business rules are configured and deployed in weeks, not months. Every adjustment — a new approval flow, a different supplier rule, a specific formulation — is change management, not custom development.

Pilar 2

AI where it improves the decision, not where it looks impressive.

Demand forecasting. Anomaly detection in master data. Substitute-material recommendation. Batch allocation suggestions. The AI runs on top of clean, governed data — which is why it actually works. And because it's parameterized, it adapts to your domain, not to a generic manufacturing template.

Pilar 3

Enterprise-grade security and certification.

ISO 27001 · SOC 1 Type II · SOC 2 Type II · GDPR · PCI DSS · ENS · FedRAMP. SAP Endorsed Apps Partner. Siemens Technology Partner. This isn't a startup build. It's an industrial platform with the audit trail, the access control and the upgrade stability that regulated environments require.

Cloud Migrations

The operational layer that connects planning, decision and execution.

SmarterMRP is not an ERP. It's not an APS. It's not a MES. It's the cloud-native layer between them — taking demand, forecast and master data, and turning them into orders and purchase proposals each system can actually execute. Your business rules live here: configured, not coded. Parameterized, not scattered across spreadsheets.

SAP S/4HANA · Clean Core

The challenge

In legacy SAP environments, the deepest customization lives in PP (Production Planning): specific planning rules, tuned MRP parameters, additional logic layered onto masters, materials, capacities and BOMs. Moving to S/4HANA with a clean-core approach surfaces a tension — how do you keep the ERP standard and upgradeable without losing the operational logic that actually makes the factory run?

How SmarterMRP fits

SmarterMRP moves outside the ERP core the logic that historically swells PP: master-data governance, forecasting, requirements calculation, purchase proposals, order generation, traceability, and operational rules on BOM and supply. SAP stays as the transactional and financial backbone. SmarterMRP absorbs the operational layer that needs flexibility and continuous evolution — aligned with the decoupled-extensions logic SAP promotes under clean core.

Siemens Opcenter X · MOM SaaS

The challenge

In legacy SAP environments, the deepest customization lives in PP (Production Planning): specific planning rules, tuned MRP parameters, additional logic layered onto masters, materials, capacities and BOMs. Moving to S/4HANA with a clean-core approach surfaces a tension — how do you keep the ERP standard and upgradeable without losing the operational logic that actually makes the factory run?

How SmarterMRP fits

SmarterMRP acts as the complementary layer that organizes and structures operational information before it reaches MOM: master data, requirements, materials, supply rules, orders and traceability. Opcenter X can focus on its native MOM capabilities for execution, quality and scheduling, while SmarterMRP absorbs the differential operational logic that's better kept decoupled from the core.

The Platform

An integrated platform that rolls out in pieces.

Start where the pain is sharpest. Expand scope as your organization builds operational maturity.

01

Coherent data, end to end.

Master data, forecast, material plan and orders reach scheduling, execution, purchasing and quality in sync — not just the APS. The chain holds from forecast to floor.

02

Decisions you can actually explain.

Any plan outcome can be reconstructed and justified. Decision-making stops relying on implicit assumptions and starts relying on rules, context and traceability.

03

Orders the plant can execute.

What comes out of planning resembles what reaches the floor. Less reinterpretation. Less on-the-fly rework. The plan holds at execution time.

04

A plan that survives demand shifts.

When demand or supply moves, your organization understands the impact sooner and readjusts with less friction. MRP explosion traceability shows exactly which orders, stock and purchases cover each demand.

05

Forecast-to-execution continuity.

What leaves the plan doesn't break when it passes through purchasing, tracking, quality, batches or audit. The flow holds end to end.

06

A foundation you can scale.

The Plant Template model lets you deploy to new plants with lower marginal effort. Built for multi-plant and multi-business-unit operations from day one.

Industries

Where the fit is natural.

SmarterMRP delivers the most impact in operations with high material variability, strong traceability requirements or complex product structures.
