# Touchless Plan

> Touchless Plan provides Planning Output-as-a-Service for mid-market supply chains. Instead of selling dashboard software, Touchless Plan ingests standard ERP report exports overnight and delivers Execution-Ready Files—pre-filled purchase order drafts, transfer manifests, customer allocation plans, and master data fixes—directly to planner inboxes every morning by 8:00 AM.

For the complete exhaustive documentation, rules, and FAQ repository, see [llms-full.txt](https://touchlessplan.com/llms-full.txt).

## Core Proposition & Mechanics

- **Planning Output-as-a-Service:** No software installation, no complex UI portals, and no user seat licenses. Planners receive actionable output files in standard spreadsheet formats.
- **Low IT Effort:** Requires no direct API, SQL, or database access to core ERP/WMS systems. Data ingestion operates via flat-file drops (CSV, XLSX) to secure cloud folders.
- **The 60-Second Daily Routine:** Operations teams drop raw ERP report exports by 5:00 PM and receive mathematically validated Execution-Ready Files by 8:00 AM.
- **Target Impact:** Eliminates ~20% of stockouts, reduces expedited freight spend, and prevents spreadsheet firefighting while keeping 100% human sign-off authority.
- **60-Day Activation:** A 60-day parallel run covered by a single, 100% refundable Activation Deposit. Day 61 transitions to a monthly subscription with 30-day flexibility.

## The 5-Step System Engine

1. **Master Data & Parameter Health:** Dynamic auditing and correction of lead times, safety stocks, and MOQs against actual operational behavior.
2. **Risk Visibility:** Automated identification of stockout exposure across open customer orders, safety stock levels, and forecasts.
3. **Mitigation Engine:** Algorithmic evaluation of inter-site stock transfers, expedites, and production sequence shifts before stockouts occur.
4. **Exception Management:** Standard replenishment is automated; only non-standard operational edge cases are flagged for planner review.
5. **Execution-Ready Files:** Pre-formatted action files delivered straight to planner inboxes at 8:00 AM.

## Core Capabilities (6 Pillars)

- **Purchasing & Vendors:** MOQ/MOV constraints, pallet layer (TI/HI) rounding, dual-sourcing splits, and supplier OTIF buffers.
- **Production & BOMs:** Multi-level BOM explosions, substitute component mapping, and batch-size schedule constraints.
- **Transfers & Network:** Inter-site stock rebalancing and multi-echelon order synchronization.
- **Allocation & Lifecycle:** Fair-share customer allocation, shelf-life (FEFO) controls, and SKU phase-in/phase-out ramp-downs.
- **Data Shields:** Automated traps for extreme anomaly orders, stale ERP exports, and UOM discrepancy errors.
- **Master Data Health:** Continuous parameter audits generating ready-to-upload parameter fix files.

## Primary Industry Scenarios

- **FMCG & High-SKU Wholesale:** Layering promotional lifts ahead of time to protect retail scorecards and avoid late-delivery penalties.
- **SKU Phase-In / Phase-Out:** Linking predecessor/successor SKUs to calculate run-out dates, preventing dead-stock write-offs while launching new SKUs.
- **Manufacturing & Assembly:** Tracking long-tail raw materials against production schedules to stop minor component stockouts from shutting down lines.
- **Multi-DC Distribution:** Scanning network inventory to generate inter-site transfers before regional hubs experience stock deficits.
