Monomax Boosts Sales 60% While Maintaining Inventory Levels with Intuiflow

Monomax is one of Ukraine’s leading tea and coffee manufacturers, with over 25 years in the market and an annual output of nearly 10,000 tons across 1,500 SKUs. The company’s products are sold throughout Eastern Europe, where demand and sourcing patterns are highly seasonal.

To stay competitive, Monomax needed to streamline its planning processes—reducing excess stock while maintaining steady product availability, automating SKU ordering, and improving production planning.

“DDMRP has simplified inventory management. This was possible thanks to a team of like-minded people who are not afraid of changes.”

— Supply Chain Deputy Director, Monomax

The Challenge: Imported Raw Materials and Volatile Demand

Ukraine is not a tea-producing country, so all raw materials are imported. Lead times often stretch 3 to 3.5 months, creating long supply lags. Combined with strong seasonality in both sales and purchasing, this made it difficult to balance availability and stock levels.

Before Intuiflow, planning relied on a mix of ERP functions and Excel spreadsheets, without a centralized data management system. Forecasting was largely manual, and meetings to plan weekly production were time-consuming and reactive.

Monomax’s leadership recognized that their process—though grounded in years of team experience—wasn’t scalable for a growing product portfolio.

The Solution: Demand-Driven Planning with Intuiflow

Monomax adopted DDMRP principles and implemented Intuiflow (formerly Replenishment+) to modernize inventory and production planning.

“We liked the concept because it doesn’t require a very accurate sales forecast. The model is based on buffers that absorb spikes or stagnation in demand.”

— Vladimir Ropalo, Deputy Supply Chain Director, Monomax

Fast, Practical Adoption

• Implementation and training took just 2–3 weeks.
• Four planners now run all production and purchasing orders directly through Intuiflow.
• Weekly Excel-based meetings have been replaced by buffer-driven priorities and clear visibility into stock positions.

“The most difficult thing is learning to trust the system. If the initial data is correct, it will recommend what to produce and buy at the right time.”

The Results: Higher Sales, Lower Overstocks

After two years with Intuiflow, Monomax reports clear performance improvements:

• Sales increased 60% while inventory levels stayed flat.
• Overstocks decreased in value, even with strong seasonal swings (summer demand of ~100 tons vs. winter ~200 tons).
• Planning automation now covers supplier orders, production scheduling, and replenishment.

“The program made life much easier. In 95% of cases, it works perfectly. We used to spend hours in Excel—now we focus on Intuiflow data.”

Monomax also began implementing the Advanced Planning Module to calculate equipment load and balance capacity by month. This will enable proactive production plans up to two weeks in advance—something previously achievable only through experience.

Future-Proof Your Supply Chain with Intuiflow

Monomax’s success shows what Intuiflow was built for—helping manufacturers replace guesswork and spreadsheets with automated, demand-driven flow.

Intuiflow is a unified platform that connects materials planning, scheduling, and execution in real time. Instead of chasing shortages or reacting to delays, planners see live priorities, AI-optimized buffers, and one version of the truth across teams.
