AI Inventory Planning Software for QAD

Can we add AI inventory planning to QAD without replacing it?

Stockly by Analytos adds AI inventory planning to QAD without replacing it. It reads item planning data, supplier performance and Kanban detail — including the Kanban loop definitions many QAD sites run their lines on — and returns approved buffer and loop-size changes to QAD rather than keeping them in a separate tool.

QAD inventory optimization with Stockly starts read-only: connect the data, confirm Stockly reproduces your current inventory position, then review its recommendations alongside your existing process before any write-back is enabled.

Reads

What Stockly reads from QAD

  • Item planning data

    The safety stock, reorder and order-policy settings QAD plans each item from.

  • Kanban loop definitions

    Card counts and container quantities for the loops your lines pull from, checked against real consumption.

  • Supplier performance

    Supplier scheduling and receipt history, so lead time is measured rather than assumed.

Rollout

Going live on QAD

  1. Connect read-only

    Stockly reads from QAD. Nothing is written back yet.

  2. Reproduce your position

    Confirm Stockly sees the same inventory position your planners do.

  3. Run alongside

    Planners review Stockly’s recommendations next to the current process, with the reasoning for each.

  4. Enable write-back

    Approved changes start flowing back into QAD once planners trust what they see.

PFEP

PFEP for QAD

  • A Plan For Every Part, kept inside QAD

    Item planning data, supplier scheduling data and Kanban loop definitions carry the QAD equivalent of a PFEP. Stockly maintains loop sizes and buffers in place.

    How Stockly maintains a PFEP

  • More than one ERP?

    Groups that run QAD alongside other ERPs get one planning view across all of them, with each ERP staying the system of record for its own plants.

Frequently asked questions

Is there inventory planning software for QAD that works with QAD Kanban?

Yes. Stockly by Analytos reads the Kanban loop definitions QAD already holds, compares each against real consumption and replenishment time, and writes approved loop-size changes back into QAD.

Does Stockly replace QAD?

No. QAD stays the system of record and keeps running the line. Stockly keeps the buffers and loop sizes it reads current.

What does Stockly change in QAD?

Buffer settings and Kanban loop sizes, and only after a planner approves each change.
