Ask “what if” before it happens.
Tell Pinto what could go wrong: a demand surge, a late shipment, a longer supplier shutdown. It plays the scenario through your forecast, plan and inventory, shows what breaks, and proposes the fix.
Why good plans still break
Plans assume the future goes to plan
A plan built on one forecast has no answer for a surge, a promotion that over-performs or a supplier that slips.
Surprises arrive by phone
“We can ship 6,000 on time. The other 4,000 will be three weeks late.” The impact has to be worked out on the spot.
The fix is a scramble
Transfers, expedites and extra orders get decided under pressure, without seeing what each one costs.
What Pinto does with every “what if”
Takes the brief in plain words
“What if demand for insulated jackets is 10% higher through December?” Say what, for how long, and which products and channels.
Covers demand and supply
Demand surges and weekend promotions. Late, partial or canceled POs, longer factory shutdowns, damaged or expired stock.
Plays it through the plan
Against the current forecast, supply plan and inventory, week by week and channel by channel.
Shows what breaks
New stockouts, excess and risk, with the sales and customers affected.
Proposes the fix
Moves stock between channels, creates transfers, expedites or adds POs, with the cost of each option.
