GMDH Streamline vs Workday Adaptive Planning

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.
