Stop Stalling the Line. Plan Procurement and Production Together.

Procurement and production planning means planning raw material purchasing and factory production together, so materials arrive when production needs them. Mentana brings both plans onto one screen per facility, projects shortfalls ahead of time, and keeps the procurement plan aligned as demand changes.

An MRP module calculates material requirements from a fixed production schedule, usually in periodic runs. Mentana works on top of your ERP and keeps the procurement plan current as demand changes, projecting demand, in-progress production and incoming supply forward to flag shortfalls while there’s still time to act.

Mentana projects demand, in-progress production and incoming supply forward for each facility and SKU. It surfaces the exact shortfall and when it will hit, so buyers can escalate a vendor or change shipping before the line is affected, rather than discovering the gap too late.

Mentana converts your SKU-level demand forecast into a dynamic safety stock that rises and falls with predicted demand and seasonality. Instead of relying on a static trailing average, you hold less capital in slow-moving lines while still covering the fast movers.

No. Mentana prepares the actions your procurement plan needs, such as purchase orders. Nothing is written to your ERP until a buyer or planner approves it, and every action is recorded for audit, so your team stays in control of every commitment to suppliers.

Mentana works on top of your existing ERP, including SAP S/4HANA, Oracle NetSuite and Microsoft Dynamics 365, as well as POS, WMS and data warehouses. Your ERP remains the system of record. Mentana adds the planning and execution layer without replacing it.

Mentana goes live within 30 days. It works on top of your existing ERP and production systems, so there is no rip and replace. Most teams start with a free two-week Solution Workshop using read-only data access, followed by an 8–12 week initial deployment.
