Flowlity Launches Co-planner in the ChatGPT Apps Directory
Flowlity has made its Co-planner available through the ChatGPT Apps directory, extending conversational access to live Supply Chain Planning data.
According to Karim B., Flowlity’s CTO and co-founder, planners can use ChatGPT to ask operational questions such as which sites have coverage alerts, how a product forecast is evolving and where late orders are located. Flowlity then retrieves and analyzes the relevant planning data.
The important development is the creation of a governed conversational layer over planning data. Each answer should identify the data source, plan version, hierarchy, horizon and filters used.
Questions about coverage, forecasts or late orders can influence inventory, production and supplier decisions. The integration therefore needs identity controls, role-based access, query logs, data-freshness indicators and a clear distinction between retrieval, recommendation and execution.
Conversational planning should initially remain read-only or advisory. Any capability that changes forecasts, planning parameters or orders should require approval, version control, audit history and rollback.
