frePPLe
frePPLe is a supply-chain planning product for forecasting demand, managing inventory, planning production, and replenishing stock. Production plans account for finite material and resource capacity, and planners can adjust jobs in an interactive Gantt chart. Forecasting applies statistical and AI techniques, lets teams select methods, and supports review and editing. Inventory planning calculates safety stocks and reorder quantities, creates replenishment orders, and supports item segmentation and tailored business rules. Its multilingual Community edition is a browser-based application. Integrations include REST API, CSV, Excel, and direct database access; Community also includes two-way Odoo integration. Community and Enterprise editions offer Ubuntu Linux binaries and Docker images, while Enterprise can be installed on customer hardware. Community support is DIY through a user group; Cloud and Enterprise list professional support. A 15-day trial is available, as is a free scheme for academic use by contacting the company. Subscription pricing is based on active item-location pairs, and Cloud lists a maximum of six scenarios.
