Buying insight
What to know
Lokad recommends stock transfers across locations using forecasts, EU-hosted SaaS and a client-run flat-file pipeline.
Who it fits and warehouse workflows
This is a planning workflow: ERP/WMS data enter the analytical service and recommended decisions return to client systems.
Capabilities and operating conditions
Lokad’s allocation work recommends stock movement across warehouses and other locations using forecasts and financial objectives.
- Produce prioritized SKU-level stock movement recommendations across warehouses and stores, using probabilistic forecasts and capacity, replenishment and presentation constraints
- Expose budget and stockout-cost parameters, explain recommendations, and monitor decision impact through tailored KPI dashboards
- Deployment: Multitenant SaaS hosted in Microsoft Azure data centers in the EU.
- Supported platform: Browser-based access using modern evergreen Chrome, Firefox or Safari; no client plug-in or special software is required.
- Integrations: Lokad’s IT guide describes the expected client-run pipeline: flat-file extracts sent by SFTP or FTPS, Envision scripts for analysis, and possible reintegration of generated results. These are described workflows, not a guaranteed connector catalogue.
- Offline operation: Not documented in the retained accepted evidence.
- Industries: Retail networks; Industrial supply chains; Aftermarket and spare parts.
- Business size: Not documented in the retained accepted evidence.
- Application UI languages: Customer-specific user interfaces can be localized or re-localized after delivery using UTF-8.
- Verified country availability: Not documented in the retained accepted evidence.
Pricing, plan limits and additional costs
The IT guide describes a monthly subscription that typically bundles the web app with professional services. The accepted pricing analysis identifies decision type, country/operational scope, computing and scientist time, and additional scopes as cost drivers. No exact amount, currency, contract term or invoice timing is established.
Review evidence and sample limits
A bounded independent-platform discovery check on 28 October 2026 did not yield a verified dated review account. The retained baseline is structured search analysis, not a review-page capture.
