KNAPP Brain
The First AI Platform for Intelligent Value Chains

A wide range of items, major fluctuations in orders, and consumers’ desire for outstanding customer service are increasing the complexity of logistics each and every day. To keep up with these increasing demands for flexibility, companies have to analyze massive quantities of data and evaluate it in real time. Traditional software systems do their best, but they often make decisions too late or not precisely enough. That’s where KNAPP Brain comes in. As the first AI platform for intelligent value chains, its solutions process complex information to make finding the right decision faster and easier. In doing so, it makes processes along the entire value chain more efficient and powerful.

AI-powered solutions for complex challenges

Making the right decisions with AI doesn’t have to be complicated. Our KNAPP Brain software is the first of its kind to combine several different AI-powered software solutions under one roof, accelerating and improving decision-making with regards to the myriad challenges in logistics – for everything from resource planning to optimized order fulfillment.

AI opens up new dimensions of value chain success

Without KNAPP Brain

  • Inexact forecasting that leads to bottlenecks, stockouts and excess capacity.
  • Inefficient order fulfillment resulting from manual prioritization, incompatible data types and insufficient coordination.
  • High pressure on the last mile and at the service level compounded by a growing selection of items.

With KNAPP Brain

  • Data-based prognoses for order and item flows increase planning reliability and reduce bottlenecks.
  • AI-supported coordination of resources and orders smoothens processes and boosts output.
  • Intelligent optimization from goods-in to the last mile, coupled with integration into the KNAPP world of software (KiSoft & SAP by KNAPP).

Connected solutions all along the value chain

How successful are you at optimizing the use of your resources and getting the most out of your system? This challenge is where KNAPP Brain shines. From forecasting to optimized order fulfillment and the last mile, KNAPP Brain benefits your company along the entire value chain.
