What Optiwiser A.I. Solutions does

Optiwiser A.I. Solutions GmbH is a Munich-based private software company founded in 2020 that builds AI-powered supply chain planning software for the FMCG sector. Its flagship platform, Predictwiser.Cloud, automates demand forecasting, inventory optimization, production planning, procurement planning, detailed scheduling, and material/packaging planning. The product is organized as a suite of eight modules (Absatzplanung demand planning, Bestandsoptimierung inventory, Produktionsplanung production, Einkaufsplanung procurement, Feinplanung detailed scheduling, Material- und Verpackungsplanung BOM-level planning, plus OptiGPT generative AI assistant and SILIMA scenario manager). Underlying technology centers on StreamWiser™, a proprietary AI engine that dynamically selects optimal forecasting algorithms per period based on expected performance and integrates external data such as weather, promotions, holidays, events, and Google Trends. Algorithms are specifically engineered for FMCG constraints including shelf life (MHD), minimum order quantities, procurement costs, and production capacity.

The company targets mid-sized FMCG manufacturers in food, beverage, and cosmetics industries that currently rely on Excel-based planning. Roughly a dozen named customers are publicly disclosed, all DACH-based and skewed to food production (e.g., Hammermühle, Beckers Bester, Midsona, Ponnath, Sander Gruppe, Konrad Böhnlein, Koawach, Oatsome, Ketofabrik, I·DO Bio, ForestGum, Josef Bernbacher). Reported customer outcomes include 90% monthly forecast accuracy, 80% fewer stock-outs, 36% less waste, and 30% lower inventory costs at the portfolio level.

The business model is a monthly SaaS subscription with no integration costs, no hidden fees, unlimited users, 24/7 support, and cancellable monthly contracts. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales, with the sales process initiated through Calendly-based demo booking; no channel partners or resellers are disclosed. The company has ~12 listed team members across co-founders, engineering, analytics, sales, and academic advisors, and partners with Google Cloud (infrastructure), TU Munich (AI research), and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs (BMWK). No external funding rounds or institutional investors are publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Kinaxis: Kinaxis offers the Maestro platform for concurrent supply chain planning, with strong adoption in CPG/FMCG. It is a direct competitor on demand, inventory, and production planning, although typically sold to larger enterprises than Optiwiser's mid-market sweet spot.
• Netstock: Netstock is a cloud inventory optimization platform targeted squarely at small and mid-sized manufacturers and distributors. It overlaps Optiwiser on inventory and demand planning for the same mid-market FMCG buyer, with a similar SaaS-pricing and quick-onboarding approach.
• Crisp: Crisp provides AI-driven demand forecasting and supply chain analytics purpose-built for FMCG/CPG brands and food producers. Same buyer (food/beverage manufacturer), same AI-first forecasting wedge, and competitive overlap on mid-market accounts Optiwiser targets in DACH.
• o9 Solutions: o9 Solutions is an enterprise AI planning platform covering demand, supply, inventory, and integrated business planning for CPG/FMCG and retail. It is a direct competitor for the same end buyer with a much larger, well-capitalized footprint and is the primary enterprise incumbent Optiwiser must displace.
• RELEX Solutions: RELEX offers AI-driven supply chain and retail planning, including demand forecasting, inventory optimization, and production planning for FMCG and grocery. It is the closest direct peer to Optiwiser — same core product scope (forecast/inventory/production), same mid-to-large FMCG customer base, and comparable plug-in cloud deployment model.
• ToolsGroup: ToolsGroup provides AI-powered demand sensing, inventory optimization, and supply planning, with a strong FMCG/CPG customer base. It competes head-to-head with Optiwiser on the forecasting and inventory modules and serves similar mid-market and enterprise manufacturers.

Broad incumbents

• Blue Yonder: Blue Yonder (backed by Panasonic) is a broad supply chain platform with Luminate Planning for demand, inventory, and production. It is a broad incumbent competitor with overlapping capabilities but typically sells to larger FMCG enterprises and offers a much wider portfolio than Optiwiser's vertical solution.
• SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP): SAP IBP is the incumbent enterprise supply chain planning suite, deeply embedded in FMCG/CPG IT landscapes. It is a broad incumbent competitor with overlapping demand/inventory/production functionality, often the default "build" option against which Optiwiser's "buy" pitch must compete.
• Anaplan: Anaplan is a connected planning platform used for sales, supply chain, and finance planning across CPG/FMCG. It is a broader incumbent with overlapping forecasting and S&OP capabilities but is not FMCG-specific and lacks Optiwiser's deep shelf-life and procurement-cost optimization.

Emerging players

• Frigent / AIMMS (now part of Aimms-ProfitAbility): AIMMS is a prescriptive analytics and supply chain optimization platform with deployed customers in FMCG and process industries. It is an emerging competitor providing optimization-driven planning that overlaps Optiwiser's production and inventory modules but with a more modeling-heavy deployment model.
