MRP software that turns demand into a clear shortage list
Planvance is a lightweight material requirements planning (MRP) tool for small and mid-size manufacturers. Import your items, BOMs and stock, add demand, and get a dated shortage list that tells you what to make, what to buy, and when to order it.
What MRP does for you
Explode the BOM
Demand on a finished good flows down to every component at every level, including scrap.
Net against stock
On-hand and on-order quantities are subtracted before anything is flagged as short.
Date every shortage
Lead-time offsets convert a due date into an exact "order by" date for purchasing and production.
