Summary

frePPLe provides supply-chain planning for forecasting, inventory, production, and replenishment. Production plans account for finite material supply and resource capacity, and planners can adjust jobs in an interactive Gantt chart. Forecasting applies statistical and AI techniques, allows method selection, and supports team review and editing. Inventory planning calculates safety stocks and reorder quantities, creates replenishment orders, and supports item segmentation and tailored rules. The multilingual Community edition runs in a browser and is open source. Integrations include REST API, CSV, Excel, direct database access, and two-way Odoo integration in Community. Community and Enterprise editions offer Ubuntu Linux binaries and Docker images; Enterprise can be installed on customer hardware. Community users get do-it-yourself support through a user group, while Cloud and Enterprise list professional support. A 15-day trial is available, and academic users can contact the company about its free scheme. Subscription pricing is based on active item-location pairs; Cloud lists a maximum of six scenarios. Enterprise hosting on customer infrastructure may suit organizations whose policies or regulations restrict cloud use.
