AI supply chain planning, from regional demand to redistribution
For CPOs and S&OP teams in distribution and multi-retail. Likwid plans the whole loop — regional demand rolled up to a company plan and procurement, then fulfilled supply sent back to every region. Built for the high-SKU reality of pharma and FMCG.
Tuned for your network — distributors or manufacturers.
Every echelon, one plan
Scroll to watch it build, one echelon at a time — regional demand up to the company plan and procurement, then supply back down to every region. It runs on Likwid's AI-native ERP, fed by demand forecasting and netted against inventory across every echelon.
Demand sensed at every region and SKU — the shelf, not a national average.
See demand forecastingRegional demand rolled up into one consensus plan, the regional shape kept intact.
The requirement hands to procurement — vendors, RFQs and POs — carrying the split.

Back to every region — via the corporate hub, or straight from source.
The plan is signed off. Then reality diverges.
A national plan meets a regional network, and within a week the numbers and the stock are telling different stories.
The plan is national; the demand is regional
S&OP is built at head office in aggregate, but stock is consumed region by region. A single company number hides four different demand curves — and the plan quietly mis-serves all of them.
Procurement buys blind to the split
The buying team gets one consolidated requirement, not the regional shape behind it — so quantities are right in total and wrong everywhere, and the correction happens as transfers later.
Supply lands in the wrong place
Goods arrive at the hub when a region needed them yesterday, or land in a region that's already covered. The physical flow and the plan drift apart within a week.
High SKU counts break the spreadsheet
For pharma and FMCG distributors, it's thousands of SKUs across dozens of nodes, with batch, expiry and promotions on top. No planner can hold that in Excel — so most of the catalogue goes unplanned.
Two ways supply gets back to the region
When supply is fulfilled it has to reach the demand that started it. Likwid runs both models — and mixes them per SKU and per node.
Via the corporate hub
Supply lands at the corporate hub (Root), then cascades to each regional warehouse on the regional plan — consolidation, cross-dock and tighter control.

Where the SKU count is the whole problem
Pharma and FMCG distribution isn't a hundred hero products — it's thousands of SKUs across every node, with batch and expiry on the pharma side and promotions and seasonality on the FMCG side. That's exactly the catalogue that goes unplanned in a spreadsheet, and exactly what Likwid is built to plan in full for large distributors.
One plan, from the shelf to the vendor and back
Regional demand sensing
Every region's demand is forecast at SKU level from its own consumption — not a national average sliced by share.
One consensus S&OP plan
Regional demand rolls up to a single company-level plan the whole team agrees on, with the regional shape kept intact underneath.
Procurement, wired in
The company requirement hands straight to procurement — vendors, RFQs and POs — carrying the regional split so buys land right.
Two redistribution models
Fulfilled supply flows back downstream direct-to-region or via the corporate hub, per SKU and per node — you choose the model.
Multi-echelon, netted
Stock, in-transit and open POs are netted across every echelon, so nothing is ordered that a transfer could cover.
