The line that stopped was visible three weeks earlier.

Plan the month, see the last day to order every material, and let an AI Agent tell you early when the plan and the stock no longer agree.

Everyone was busy. The date slipped. Proskopa keeps the dates in front of the people who can act on them.

How it works

From cases to order-by dates.

01

Plan the month in what you sell

Enter crates, cases or pallets per product and packaging day. The plan converts them into volume to produce and works back to the day production has to start.

02

See what to buy, and by when

Material needs are worked out after what is already in stock. Each supplier gets a last day to order, based on their lead time, and a draft purchase order.

03

Run it, then see yield and cost

Issue materials, record the run and what was accepted or rejected. Yield and cost per unit come out against the standard.

Order-by dates

Every supplier gets a last day to order.

Imported ingredients take months. Packaging takes weeks. Gas comes from down the road. One packaging date becomes a list of deadlines, sorted by which comes first.

AI Agent

Your team runs the plant. The AI Agent watches over it.

Records arrive late, or not at all. The AI Agent compares the plan with what has been received, counted and produced, every day, and says so when something does not add up.

  • It finds the gap, and says why. Stock that the plan says must already have been used is flagged before anyone relies on it.
  • Management hears it first. A morning message says which order should reach you for approval today.
  • Nothing is changed behind your back. It proposes; your people confirm.

Where the data comes from

It works from what your team already records.

The plan

What you intend to make, and when.

Goods received

A delivery arrives. Snap the invoice on a phone, confirm, and it is in stock.

Stock counted

Regular counts by area, on a tablet, without showing counters the expected figure.

Production recorded

Materials issued, quantity produced, accepted and rejected.

When one of these is missing, the others still say what must have happened. That is how the AI Agent notices.

Proskopa · AI AgentDelivery received. 480,000 bottles are now in stock.
Fits your systems

Alongside your systems. Not instead of them.

Your ERP stays

Sage, Odoo, SAP Business One or whichever you run keeps the accounts and the ledgers. This covers the planning around it.

Nothing changes in your systems

No migration and no switch-over day. Your current tools carry on as they are.

No long implementation

Start with one product line and one month's plan, then add the rest.

Easy for everyone

Phone and tablet screens for the floor, plain messages for management. Little training.

Who it is for
