LeanDNA launched APEX, an AI-powered expert execution supply planning platform that unites LeanDNA’s supply planning capabilities with Inventory Optimization, Kei AI Assistant, and Workbench.

"The launch of APEX is a major step forward for supply planning," says Andy Ellenthal, CEO of LeanDNA. "We’ve taken our proven, battle-tested platform and injected powerful, net-new AI capabilities to deliver a solution that directly addresses the shortage-excess paradox. APEX empowers supply chain teams to act faster and smarter, securing their production and dramatically improving working capital."

Key takeaways:

 

  • APEX Inventory Optimization: This new capability uses advanced optimization models to simulate and stress-test new and existing order policies and safety stock levels. It enables teams to find the ideal balance between service levels and inventory carrying costs, maximizing working capital while minimizing stockouts.
  • APEX Kei AI Assistant: A purpose-built, conversational AI that provides instant, expert supply chain analysis. Users can ask natural language questions and receive immediate, actionable recommendations on supply chain performance and risk.
  • APEX Workbench: A new workspace for buyers, supervisors, and suppliers that centralizes, automates, and prioritizes buyer and supplier actions, enabling faster collaboration and streamlining routine purchase order changes.
