Allocate limited supply where it earns the most.
You have a fixed amount of product each day and more demand than you can meet. Today it is split by hand across customers, internal needs and the open market.
Why it is hard today.
The best split changes daily with prices, contracts and capacity. A manual allocation cannot weigh every option, so margin and service get left on the table.
The person doing it holds the contract commitments, the spot price and the production plan in their head, under time pressure, every morning.
How Ergodic helps.
Model it
Your supply, customers, contracts and constraints are held in one place, built from the systems you already run.
Test it
Different allocations are tested against that model every day, with the day's prices, orders and capacity.
Decide it
You get the split that best balances margin, service and contract commitments, with the reasoning shown.
In practice.
A global seafood producer allocating around 70 tonnes of product a day across customers, internal use and the spot market.
What you get.
Better margin from the same supply
Contract commitments met first
Hours of manual allocation saved every day
