Why SmartPlan

Enterprise-grade planning, at a price an SME can carry.

Good planning is specialist work — not a spreadsheet you update once a month. Most SMEs can't justify hiring for it full-time, and big consultancies price it for a multinational budget. We built SmartPlan differently.

Built differently

A team of experienced planners, priced for a business your size.

Outsourced, not just staffed

You're not hiring a temp for you to manage. We own the planning process end-to-end, work to your calendar, and are accountable for the result — the same as any other function you outsource.

Experienced planners, not trainees

Every engagement is staffed by planners who've worked in these industries before — not graduates learning on your account.

Senior expertise, SME pricing

Our delivery model strips out the overhead the big firms carry, so you get senior planning capability without the enterprise-consulting price tag.

Built on real planning software

We started out building our own planning software, so we plan with proper tools and data — not spreadsheet guesswork. Use our software, or we'll work inside whatever systems you already have.

The outcomes

What good planning delivers.

Higher service & availability
Right stock, in the right place, when customers need it — fewer stockouts and rush orders.
Lower working capital
Free the cash tied up in excess and obsolete stock.
A schedule the floor can hold
Realistic schedules that cut firefighting and changeovers.

Fees — from £2,000 / month

A fraction of the cost of a single in-house planner. A firm quote follows a short scoping exercise.
