24–48hr
Average decision lag in traditional MRP
Real-time
Recalculation on Axolt + Salesforce
1 Platform
CRM, ERP, Finance, Ops unified
Zero Lag
Between insight and execution
The Real Problem
Traditional MRP is always behind reality.
A supplier slips. Demand spikes. Production falls behind. By the time your MRP system catches up, the situation has already changed.
A supplier slips
Lead times extend without warning. Your plan assumes stock that won't arrive on time.
Demand spikes
A new order or forecast revision changes what you need — but your MRP hasn't recalculated yet.
Production execution
falls behind
Production execution depends on accurate material and supply signals. Cascading delays begin to ripple.
What happens next?
You wait for the next batch run. Reports are generated overnight.
By the time action is taken, the situation has already changed.
What happens inside traditional MRP
-
MRP runs overnight — once per day, or less
-
Reports are generated from stale data
-
Teams review spreadsheets and exception lists
-
Plans are manually adjusted across separate systems
-
Action requires coordination across procurement, ops, and finance
By the time action is taken, the situation has already changed.
With Axolt on Salesforce
-
Demand updates instantly from CRM sales orders
-
Supply gaps are visible in real time
-
Actions are triggered automatically — no manual steps
Planning becomes execution.
The Real Cost
It's not a shortage problem. It's a timing problem.
The signals are always there — a supplier slips, demand spikes, a shipment is delayed. The issue isn't visibility. It's how quickly the system responds when manufacturing planning and forecasting change.
"We didn't see that shortage coming."
"We had the data, but we reacted too late."
"The plan was right... until it wasn't."
The Invisible Cost
Every delay creates a chain reaction.
Expedited shipping costs spike
Emergency freight erodes margins silently
Margins erode silently
By the time it hits financials, it's too late
Decisions lag behind reality
The system answers yesterday instead of now
How It Works
What actually happens inside most MRP systems — and what should.
Traditional MRP creates a decision lag between insight and action. Axolt on Salesforce eliminates it.
Traditional
Batch-Based MRP
- MRP runs overnight (batch)
- Reports are generated
- Teams review exceptions manually
- Decisions are made separately
- Changes executed in a different system
- Result: 24–48hr decision lag
Axolt on Salesforce
Continuous Planning
- New order updates demand instantly
- MRP recalculates in real time
- Supply constraints surface immediately
- Purchase orders on Salesforce trigger automatically
- Finance reflects changes in real time
- Result: Action happens now
Know Before You Start
"Available" doesn't mean "ready to produce."
You can have stock on the shelf and still not be able to build. Missing one component stops the line — and traditional MRP won't tell you until it's too late.
Axolt Feature
"Available" doesn't mean ready
Clear to Build
-
Validates full material availability across every BOM component
-
Identifies missing or short components instantly — before the work order is released
-
Prevents production delays before they happen, not after
-
Connects directly to purchase order management on Salesforce — gaps trigger procurement automatically
You don't start production unless you can finish it.
Platform Capabilities
From Material Planning to Supply Action.
Most MRP systems stop at telling you what to do. Axolt does it — across demand, supply, inventory, and finance simultaneously.
Real-Time Demand Signals
Every new sales order on Salesforce CRM immediately propagates into MRP — no batch delays, no manual imports.
Continuous Planning Engine
Planning doesn't run in cycles — it runs continuously. Every supply or demand change triggers an instant recalculation.
Single Version of Truth
CRM, ERP,
Inventory, Manufacturing, and Finance all live on one platform. No sync delays. No reconciliation work.
Financial Visibility Before Action
Every operational decision shows its Connected
manufacturing finance
helps teams understand the cost impact of supply and replenishment decisions before action is taken. in real time — before the purchase order is raised, not after.
Issue a command. The system analyses, plans, executes, and maintains an audit trail — moving you from screens to outcomes.
Why Salesforce Changes MRP
MRP without context is useless.
Axolt MRP operates as part of a
connected Manufacturing ERP
environment where planning, inventory, purchasing, and finance share the same live data.
Isolated planning tools produce isolated decisions. When MRP lives inside manufacturing ERP on Salesforce, every calculation has the full picture — demand, supply, BOM management, capacity planning, inventory, and financial impact all in one place.
Traditional MRP
Isolated, delayed, disconnected
- Demand comes from a separate CRM — synced, not live
- Inventory reflects last night's count, not right now
- Financial impact only visible after the fact
- Every decision made without the full picture
Axolt on Salesforce
Connected, real-time, execution-driven
- Demand comes directly from CRM — live, not synced
- Supply reflects real inventory in real time
- Finance shows true cost impact before action is taken
- Every planning decision made in full context
What Real-Time MRP Delivers
This is not planning improvement.
This is decision acceleration.
The operational gains from eliminating lag compound across every function — from procurement to delivery.
Faster response to demand changes
Supply plans adjust the moment a new order lands — not the next morning.
Right inventory at the right time — driven by real demand, not stale forecasts.
Schedules built on what's actually available, using
capacity planning, not what was available yesterday.
Purchase orders raised earlier, with accurate quantities, based on live gaps.
Higher on-time delivery rates
Execution aligns with commitment — because planning and production share the same data.
Real-time financial visibility
Every supply decision shows its cost impact before it's made — not after the quarter closes.
Connected Manufacturing Planning
Manufacturing Planning Connected Across Operations
Salesforce MRP supports material planning and supply decisions while connecting directly with ERP, production planning, and manufacturing finance.
Connected operational platform.
Execution and scheduling coordination.
Cost and financial visibility.
Built For
If your challenge is reacting too late — Axolt MRP solves it.
Axolt is designed for manufacturers where timing, complexity, multi-level BOMs, and variable demand make batch planning a liability, not an asset.
Manufacturing
Complex BOMs, multi-level supply chains, tight production windows
Multi-tier suppliers, long lead times, global sourcing dependencies
Every order is unique — MRP must react to each one individually
High-Variability Demand
Seasonal swings, project-based demand, unpredictable order patterns
If your team is saying this — you're in the right place
-
"We're always reacting to problems instead of preventing them."
-
"Our planners spend half their time chasing data across systems."
-
"We find out about shortages when production is already stopped."
-
"Planning is based on outdated data — by the time we act, things have changed."
Axolt MRP eliminates the lag between signal and action.
The Future of Manufacturing Planning
Command-driven operations.
Not screen-driven.
As AI evolves with Agentforce, the interaction model shifts from navigating screens to directing outcomes.
Command issued
Ensure all critical items are covered for the next 30 days.
Demand analysed across all active orders
Financial projections updated with full audit trail
Modern manufacturing doesn't need more planning tools.
It needs decision systems — connected, real-time, and execution-driven.
