FAQ

Common questions.

What do I get for $995/mo? +

AP Optia: Advanced Planning for one planner, with three hierarchy levels planned monthly on a fixed set of sales, stock, receipts and on-order data, and standard KPIs. It takes about 2–4 weeks to set up from receipt of your data. AP and AP Xi add more users and deeper detail, and AP Xi adds alerts and analysis; their price is set mainly by your peak number of simultaneous users. No metering, no per-query fees.

How does the risk-free proof of concept work? +

Send us a representative data sample — sales history, hierarchy, and plan targets. We configure a working instance of Advanced Planning with your data so you can evaluate it with your team. No cost, no obligation.

What if I need Basic Allocation & Replenishment or long-range forecasts? +

Add-ons plug directly into your AP level, with no re-implementation or data migration. The level cards and add-ons above show which level can take each one. Pricing for add-ons is handled in your planning consultation, based on your team's needs.

Are there long-term contracts? +

Not unless you want one. You choose the term — quarterly, annual or multi-year. Two quarters to begin, then quarter to quarter, with thirty days' notice before the next one. A longer term earns a discount, but it's never a condition of entry — you stay because the software works, not because a contract says you have to.

Which ERPs do you integrate with? +

We have experience with D365, NetSuite, Jesta, Aptos, SAP, Horizon, Mi9, Celerant, Epicor, KWI, Retail Pro and others — including custom systems. If your ERP isn't listed, ask us — we've likely connected to it before.

How many users can I add? +

AP Optia is for one planner. On AP and AP Xi, as many as you need: add Read/Write Planners, Read-only Viewers, and add-on users whenever you need to expand the footprint.

Is this cloud-hosted or on-premise? +

Your IT team decides: cloud-hosted, on-premise, or hybrid — the database in the cloud, the planning client on your team’s desktops.
