AI-Enabled MRP. Available now! AI-Enabled MRP. Available now!
Production planning you can actually trust
See what you need, when you need it and what is at risk.
MaXXflow connects demand, bills of materials, inventory, purchasing, work orders, capacity and production in one practical platform—helping growing manufacturers act earlier, make faster decisions and deliver with greater confidence.
WHEN GROWTH OUTPACES THE PLANNING SYSTEM
Your problem is not a lack of information. It's that your plan lives in too many places.
Spreadsheets and workarounds can support a smaller operation. But as products, parts, suppliers, orders and active jobs increase, the same process becomes harder to control.
Engineering sees the BOM. Purchasing sees supplier status. Stores sees stock. Production sees the schedule. Leadership sees the consequences—often after the problem has already become expensive.
When those views are disconnected, experienced people spend more time finding and reconciling information than acting on it.
Shortages discovered too late
Required materials are identified after a job has already been scheduled or released.
Reactive purchasing
Buyers respond to urgent requests rather than prioritising from reliable production demand.
Unclear production readiness
A job may appear on the schedule without the materials, approvals or capacity required to complete it.
BOM handover risk
Changes made in engineering do not always reach purchasing and production clearly or on time.
Inventory uncertainty
Stock may exist on paper but already be allocated, located elsewhere or unavailable for the required job.
Unreliable delivery commitments
Sales and customer service struggle to give confident answers because the operational plan is difficult to verify.
MRP MADE PRACTICAL
What do we need? When do we need it? What is at risk?
MaXXflow connects demand, product data, inventory, supply and production activity so your team can answer the questions that determine whether work can proceed.
What do we need?
Translate demand and BOMs into clear material, purchasing and production requirements.
When do we need it?
Connect available stock, allocations, supplier lead times, inbound orders, work centres and schedules.
What is at risk?
Surface shortages, supplier delays, capacity pressure and work orders that require attention.
“One screen” situational awareness
When someone asks “are we on track?”, you shouldn’t need five spreadsheets and three people.
MaXXflow gives fast situational awareness across:
- what’s due, what’s late, what’s at risk
- what you can build this week with confidence
- what’s constrained (materials, supplier timing, work centre capacity)
- what needs a decision now vs what can wait
Capacity, constraints, schedule—on one screen.
AI process management
We built in AI to reduce admin time and identify risk
It helps you:
- summarise exceptions and risks (shortages, late supply, schedule conflicts)
- draft follow-ups and internal updates
- speed up repetitive planning/admin tasks
- get a clearer “what changed + what to do next” view
Know what’s likely to break next week—before it breaks.
(And fix it while it’s still cheap to fix.)
Sovereignty and control
If you care about governance, access, and where your operational data ends up—good. You should.
MaXXflow is built for teams that want:
- clearer control over who can access what
- stronger operational traceability (who changed what, and why)
- less vendor sprawl and fewer disconnected systems deciding the truth
One view of operational and inventory risk—so decisions are made on evidence.
What you get
Predictability
MaXXflow is built so you can have confidence in:
- materials requirements
- lead times and supply timeframes
- true demand vs available stock
- capacity and schedule feasibility
- cost and timing impacts when something changes
If the plan is accurate, the output is predictable.
Loss prevention
Most margin loss isn’t dramatic. It’s the daily issues:
- ordering the wrong thing
- building out of sequence
- expediting freight you didn’t need
- stoppages from avoidable shortages
- missed dates that create credits, penalties, or churn
MaXXflow is built to surface these risks early—so they don’t become costs later.
Customer satisfaction
On-time and on-cost delivery isn’t just operations—it’s commercial protection.
- More reliable outputs = fewer escalations, fewer surprises, better CSAT.
Who it's for
Designed for manufacturers who don’t have an IT department. (And still need control)
MaXXflow is built for business with a complex supply chain:
- Executives: predictable delivery, protected margin, fewer surprises
- Operations: feasible schedules, real capacity visibility
- Engineering: BOM accuracy, change control that reaches production
- IT / CIO: cleaner system footprint, governance, reliability
- Procurement / Supply chain: lead times, supplier performance, risk visibility
- Finance: more reliable cost inputs, fewer avoidable losses (rework/expedite/scrap), better forecasting confidence
- Scheduling / Admin / Customer Service: faster answers on ETA and availability, less manual chasing, fewer handoffs between systems
Built by a local team. Backed by 30+ years in ANZ.
Supported by engineers who understand manufacturing.
Your data stays with you.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is MaXXflow?
MaXXflow is an AI-enabled Material Requirements Planning, or MRP, platform designed for growing manufacturers and other product-based businesses with complex supply chains.
It connects demand, bills of materials, inventory, procurement, suppliers, work orders, scheduling and production in one shared operational environment. This helps teams answer three important questions: what do we need, when do we need it and what is at risk?
By bringing information out of disconnected spreadsheets, emails and separate systems, MaXXflow gives teams a clearer view of what is ready, what is missing and what requires action.
2. Is MaXXflow available now?
Yes. MaXXflow is available now.
The first step is a discovery session and tailored demonstration. Central Innovation will review how your business currently manages demand, materials, bills of materials, purchasing, inventory and production, then demonstrate the MaXXflow workflows most relevant to your operation.
Following discovery, the team can confirm product fit, implementation priorities and the recommended next step.
3. What does MRP stand for, and what does MRP software do?
MRP stands for Material Requirements Planning.
MRP software helps a business determine:
• What materials and components are required.
• How many are required.
• When they are required.
• What stock is already available.
• What must be purchased or manufactured.
• Which shortages or delays may affect planned work.
It uses information such as customer demand, bills of materials, inventory, supplier lead times, purchase orders and manufacturing orders. MaXXflow extends this planning view by connecting it with work orders, scheduling, capacity, operational dashboards and AI-assisted decision support.
4. Who is MaXXflow designed for?
MaXXflow is best suited to small and mid-sized manufacturers and product-based businesses that have outgrown informal or spreadsheet-driven planning.
A typical MaXXflow customer may manage:
• Multiple products, assemblies or variants.
• Large or changing bills of materials.
• Numerous parts, suppliers and purchase orders.
• Variable supplier lead times.
• Multiple active jobs or manufacturing orders.
• Inventory across several locations.
• Engineering information that must flow into purchasing and production.
MaXXflow is particularly relevant when the business needs more operational structure but does not want to begin with a large, enterprise-wide ERP transformation.
