Overview
GMDH Streamline is a supply chain planning platform that layers demand forecasting, inventory and supply planning, material requirements planning, and sales & operations planning (S&OP) on top of an existing ERP or inventory system. Rather than replacing the system of record, it pulls historical sales, on-hand stock, open orders, lead times, and bills of materials from the connected ERP, generates statistical and AI-based forecasts, and writes back replenishment suggestions, purchase plans, and transfer recommendations. The product is positioned for distributors, manufacturers, and retailers that have outgrown spreadsheet-based planning but find the native forecasting in their ERP too limited.
The forecasting engine automatically analyzes each item for level, trend, seasonality, and intermittency, selecting a model per SKU and validating it against held-out future periods to limit overfitting. Planners can link new products to the history of comparable items, apply seasonal coefficients, layer in promotions and price effects, and override the statistical baseline manually where business knowledge differs from the model. A forecast-approval workflow lets teams mark SKUs as Approved, Unapproved, or Needs Attention and lock approved values, supporting a consensus process across sales, operations, and finance.
On the supply side, Streamline calculates safety stock, reorder points, and min/max levels, and produces optimized order proposals that account for supplier lead times, minimum order quantities, and group economic order quantity (EOQ) across SKUs sharing a supplier or container. It supports multi-echelon distribution networks with inter-site transfers and in-transit tracking, and uses discrete-event simulation at daily resolution to project inventory positions and purchasing signals across the planning horizon. The platform is available as a cloud service and integrates bidirectionally with a published set of ERP, accounting, inventory, and e-commerce systems, plus generic ODBC database and custom API connections.

Features & capabilities
Demand forecasting
Automated statistical and AI forecasting with per-SKU model selection.
- Automatic per-item analysis of level, trend, seasonality, and intermittency
- Model selection validated against held-out future periods to limit overfitting
- Time-series decomposition of demand patterns
- Seasonal coefficient detection and holiday-calendar adjustments
- New-product forecasting by linking to similar items' sales history
- Promotion and price-elasticity effects in the forecast
- Forecast accuracy and error reporting (KPI tracking)
Demand planning & collaboration
Consensus workflow combining statistical baselines with planner input.
- Manual forecast overrides based on management or supplier assumptions
- Forecast-approval workflow (Approved, Unapproved, Needs Attention)
- Lock approved SKUs to prevent further changes
- Multi-user collaborative environment for consensus forecasting
- Aggregation and disaggregation across item, location, and group hierarchies
Inventory & supply planning
Replenishment, safety stock, and purchase-order optimization.
- Safety-stock calculation by demand variability and service-level target
- Reorder point, minimum, and maximum level generation
- Automated replenishment suggestions and order plan creation
- Group EOQ optimization across SKUs on a shared purchase order
- Supplier lead-time, MOQ, and ordering-constraint handling
- Purchasing signals raised per supplier rather than per SKU
Multi-echelon & distribution
Network planning across warehouses and sites.
- Multi-echelon inventory optimization (MEIO) across distribution levels
- Inter-site transfer planning between locations
- In-transit / in-transition tracking of goods between sites
- Discrete-event simulation at one-day resolution to project inventory flows
- Projection of all purchasing signals across the next order cycle
MRP, S&OP & analytics
Production planning, integrated business planning, and dashboards.
- Bill-of-materials viewing and material requirements planning from finished-goods demand
- Production plan generation based on demand forecasts
- Revenue planning by importing sales prices and aligning revenue to demand
- GMROI optimization
- Analytical dashboards and KPI reports
- Forecast analysis, projection, and historical reports
Common use cases
- Replacing spreadsheet-based demand planning for distributors and wholesalers
- Generating purchase and replenishment plans on top of an existing ERP
- Forecasting seasonal and intermittent demand across large SKU catalogs
- Running a consensus S&OP process across sales, operations, and finance
- Planning inter-site transfers and multi-warehouse distribution networks
- Driving material requirements planning from demand forecasts and BOMs
- Reducing stockouts and excess inventory while freeing working capital
Strengths & considerations
Strengths
- Forecasting validated against held-out future periods rather than fit to current data, reducing overfitting
- Discrete-event simulation at daily resolution for projecting inventory and purchasing signals
- Group EOQ and per-supplier purchasing signals that coordinate orders across SKUs the ERP would handle item-by-item
- Published bidirectional connectors to a broad set of ERP, accounting, inventory, and e-commerce systems plus generic ODBC/API
- Sits on top of the ERP as a planning layer rather than requiring replacement of the system of record
Considerations
- Planning layer only — it forecasts and recommends but relies on the connected ERP as the system of record for transactions
- Reviewers note dashboard customization is limited compared to dedicated BI tools
- Some reviewers report the desktop client license being tied to a physical machine, limiting remote/roaming use
- Deep value depends on quality of historical data and connector setup, which requires implementation effort
- No publicly verifiable security certifications (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001) listed on the vendor site at time of research
ERP integrations
Generic database connection supporting full import/export
Custom API endpoints implemented to Streamline's specification

Alternatives to GMDH Streamline in Demand & Supply Planning
GMDH Streamline — frequently asked questions
Does GMDH Streamline replace my ERP?
No. Streamline is a planning layer that connects to an existing ERP or inventory system. It reads sales history, stock, orders, lead times, and BOMs, then writes back forecasts and replenishment recommendations; the ERP remains the system of record.
Which ERPs does Streamline integrate with?
It offers prebuilt bidirectional connectors for systems including SAP ERP / S/4HANA / Business One, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, GP and NAV, Acumatica, QuickBooks, Odoo, Cin7, Fishbowl, Unleashed, Spire, Extensiv, and Shopify, plus generic ODBC database and custom API connections.
How is Streamline priced?
Pricing is subscription-based and quoted on request, with tiers scaling by number of users, features, and deployment. The vendor does not publish list prices. A free get-started option is available.
What kinds of forecasting does it handle?
It automatically selects a model per SKU based on level, trend, seasonality, and intermittency, supports new-product and promotional forecasting, and validates models against held-out future periods to limit overfitting. Planners can override the statistical baseline and run a forecast-approval workflow.
Who is Streamline aimed at?
Distributors, manufacturers, and retailers across SMB to enterprise that need demand forecasting, inventory/supply planning, MRP, and S&OP beyond what native ERP planning provides.
