What Lokad does
Lokad is a supply chain optimization platform from Paris that uses probabilistic forecasting to automate purchasing, allocation, pricing and inventory decisions, delivered together with its own Supply Chain Scientists.
Probabilistic forecasts quantify possible demand scenarios instead of a single number
Automated calculation of reorder quantities and multi-echelon allocation
Machine learning models update continuously as new data arrives
Lokad is headquartered in Paris and names customers such as Air France Industries.
Before you switch: Lokad does not publish prices, and the service includes dedicated scientists, so ask what is included in the fee. The approach needs historical sales, stock and cost data; plan the data extraction. Clarify data hosting and security, which the homepage does not describe.
Netstock is supply and demand planning software for small and midsize manufacturers, distributors and retailers that connects to their ERP and uses AI to forecast demand and flag inventory problems.
