Arkieva Orbit vs GMDH Streamline

Arkieva Orbit is a digital supply chain planning platform that brings planning data into a central repository for analytics and cross-functional sales and operations planning. Its One-Plan process gives teams a shared data source. Demand planning covers analysis, segmentation, sensing, shaping and forecasting; inventory features include flexible metrics, obsolete-stock identification and alerts for imbalanced levels. Capacity planning supports what-if analysis and review of shortfalls or excess, while supply planning includes MRP, DRP and CRP. Teams can switch multiple scenarios on or off and simulate as many as needed. Orbit combines in-memory OLTP and OLAP in a multithreaded engine using available CPUs. Analytics include predictive and time-series analysis, forecasting algorithms, rule-based AI, implementation diagnostics and R integration. Deployment options are on-premise, cloud or hybrid, with web and self-hosted access. A unified data model connects Arkieva modules and external applications. Arkieva Data Connector handles batch and real-time integrations with multiple systems, including ERP, CRM, data warehouse and BI sources. Pricing is available on request.

GMDH Streamline is a desktop application for demand forecasting and inventory replenishment planning. It imports sales and inventory data from spreadsheets, ODBC-connected databases, and supported accounting or inventory systems, then generates statistical forecasts and can produce replenishment orders, demand plans, and revenue plans. Listed integrations include SAP, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, QuickBooks, Odoo, Shopify, and Cin7; bidirectional connections can return recommended replenishment orders to connected systems. Planning tools include reorder point automation, safety stock planning, multi-location planning, and transfer recommendations. The free edition costs nothing and is limited to US$ 1M in annual revenue, 1,000 planning items, and 10,000 annual sales quantity. Customized pricing is also available, with no price listed. Streamline supports macOS from version 10.14, though its Mac package is not signed with an Apple-issued certificate. Streamline Server runs as a Windows service for multiple users sharing a project file. Hosted data transfers use TLS encryption, and passwords are hashed on the server and encrypted over the network.
