Demand moves unevenly
A part that barely moves in one branch may be critical in another. Aggregate forecasts hide local risk.
Demand · inventory · supply
The right stock. In the right place. Before it matters.
Ritmo Planning turns fragmented signals across locations into clear purchasing and transfer decisions. Built for operations where demand is uneven, lead times shift and every shortage has a cost.

Expected demand exceeds local stock before the next replenishment. Compare transfer and purchase scenarios before committing.

The problem
Inventory decisions rarely fit in one spreadsheet.
A network can have surplus and shortage at the same time. The hard part is seeing the whole picture soon enough to act.
Supply is uncertain
Supplier delays, minimum orders and changing lead times alter the best decision before the next planning cycle.
Trade-offs stay implicit
Buying, moving or waiting each affects availability and cash. Teams need to see those consequences together.
The approach
One planning rhythm, from signal to action.
The first focus is spare parts across warehouses and branches. The same planning logic can extend to other distributed inventories.
Connect demand, stock and supply
Bring forecast, stock position, incoming orders and lead times into a consistent view by item and location.
Test what changes the outcome
Compare buying, transferring and waiting under alternative demand and supplier scenarios.
Act with a reason you can trace
Prioritize exceptions and make the assumptions, expected impact and trade-offs visible to every decision-maker.
AI with a clear job
A planning copilot that explains the why.
We plan to use Claude to help teams investigate exceptions, compare scenarios and understand recommendations in natural language.
Planning calculations remain explicit and auditable.
Ask why a location is at riskSee the demand, stock and supply signals behind an exception.
Compare possible actionsUnderstand the availability and working-capital trade-offs of buying or transferring.
Explain the recommendationGive planners a readable rationale they can review, challenge and share.
Why Ritmo
Built from a problem lived up close.
Ritmo Planning is an independent company idea shaped by firsthand experience with complex, multi-location inventory planning. We are validating the problem and the first product with potential design partners.
A good plan should tell you what to do next — and let you see every assumption behind it.
