2026
Set a minimum floor for your Stock Min — in coverage or quantity
You can now prevent your Stock Min from dropping below a threshold you define — whether in quantity or days of coverage.
This gives you greater control over inventory risk while still benefiting from Flowlity's dynamic stock recommendations.
Example: Let Flowlity calculate your Stock Min, but guarantee it never goes below 14 days of coverage to protect service levels.
Order lines new options
New display and export options are now available in the Supply Orders module.
It is now possible to display the Unit price both in the detailed view of your orders and in the order lines list. This value is also editable. By default, the selected price will always be the one provided by the source data. However, this feature gives you the flexibility to adjust the valuation of specific order lines — for example, in the case of a one-off agreement with a supplier.
In addition, when downloading supply orders (XLSX, CSV, or TSV), it is now possible to export unit prices, as well as user comments at the order line level.
To avoid disrupting your existing processes, these new columns have not been added to your exports by default. Reach out if you would like to enable them.
Other updates
Edition mode removed from Tactical module — Mass updates to stock strategies can be performed directly from the Product List in the Demand and Planning modules. Need help with mass strategy updates? Flowlity Support is here to assist.
Additional options for supplier management
Emergency supplier
A new emergency supplier feature is now available!
As a standard, Flowlity builds your supply plan selecting the configured default supplier or by applying supplier quotas when they exist. In some situations, the lead time of these suppliers may result in temporary stockouts, even though a faster alternative supplier is available.
The emergency supplier feature is designed to identify such situations and automatically switch to the supplier that can prevent the stockout. If several suppliers have a short enough lead time, Flowlity will select the least expensive.
This new capability is optional and is not enabled by default. Feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss its activation!
Managing constraints directly in the application
Supplier constraints can once again be modified directly from the application. To do so, simply open the "Product details" panel, click on "Edit", and make the desired changes in the "Suppliers" tab.
When supplier constraints are provided through automated data pipeline, these values remain the master data and will override any manual changes.
Adding supplier closure events
Until now, supplier closures had been managed exclusively through automated data feeds, usually based on files that are fully reloaded only a few times per year.
To make these updates more user-friendly, it is now possible to configure supplier closures directly in the application. This option is available in the supplier configuration menu.
Closures can also be visualized in the Planning module:
By hovering over the cells corresponding to the relevant weeks and suppliers
Within the "Inventory" tab in the "Product strategy" panel
Other updates
In the Tactical module, charts and tables can now be displayed both in quantities and in value.
The Product name field is no longer mandatory when loading Demand data into Flowlity Lite.
An error affecting the Planning view in combined aggregated mode has been fixed.
