b2wise is more than just software
b2wise is your one-stop shop for all your DDMRP requirements, offering methodology training, change management, access to leading DDMRP practioners , and ongoing support. Simply implementing a basic DDMRP model won’t deliver the expected results.
Success comes from a complete, refined approach, which b2wise has honed with over 200 global DDMRP implementations.

b2wise is more than just DDMRP
While DDMRP is a powerful flow based material planning concept, it’s only part of the solution. To maximize cash generation from operations, your solution needs to include Scheduling, Forecasting, and S&OP.
b2wise delivers all of this in one end-to-end supply chain planning platform, and our AI engines, enable rapid problem solving and reportings which keeping your operating model relevant.

Demand Driven Forecasting
Forecasting process aligned with DDMRP planning by ranges approach.
Flow Driven S&OP
S&OP process based on flow and decoupling points.
Control Point Scheduling

Advanced DDMRP Functions developed by b2wise
Based on 200 projects, b2wise has added over 50 innovations to make DDMRP work better.
Shape of ADU
b2wise tracks the shape of ADU at the finished goods level, then offsets and applies it down through the BOM to the component level.
This gives a highly accurate projection of demand across your entire supply chain.

Planning at DLT
For long lead items, it’s critical to project the buffer out to the full length of the lead time so that when stock arrives, it matches the best possible view of reality.
This is a key b2wise innovation that drives the success of long lead time planning.

Refined Buffer Segmentation
Strategic and maximum buffers alone aren’t enough to handle all scenarios.
At b2wise, we’ve added slow movers, erratic, intermittent, and seasonal items to ensure buffers truly match each item’s demand profile.

AI Modeling & Simulations
b2wise uses AI to model and simulate the impact of changes to your master settings before you commit.
This lets you test adjustments safely and ensures decisions strengthen your flow instead of disrupting it.

Order Notes & Reason Coding
Capture the rationale behind changes to policies, demand, or orders with structured notes and reason codes.
This builds a clear history that drives continuous improvement and smarter future decisions.

Workflow Management
Integrated workflows guide planners through their daily tasks, so nothing critical slips through the cracks.
b2wise keeps teams focused, proactive, and always working on the right priorities.

AI Outlier Detection
AI continuously scans for outliers that can distort your buffers or signals.
It flags these issues early so you can keep plans clean, reliable, and optimized.

The 4 pillars of success
1. Education
Don't risk it. Train and certify your planners to do their jobs.
2. Transformation
Design the model, Agree the processes, Fix the data.
3. Software & AI
Easy to understand,
Easy to use,
Easy to implement.
