Get started

The Plotwise API is an API that allows you to prepare a plan, introduce the required data, interact with an up-to-date real-time plan and request for an optimized and finalized plan.

The Plotwise API is stateless, however, the objects and entities in it are not. So a plan in Plotwise Continuous Planning Flow has its own states and is divided into the following phases: Initialization, Open planning, Finalization and Execution.

During these phases, multiple planning actions can be performed as highlighted in the graph and explained in more detail per phase.

Initialization

This is the phase where we expect the plan to be set up. You must prepare the system for a new plan.

In this phase you will:

  • Create a bucket with a profile and all the plan configuration
  • Add the available resources
  • Introduce all the orders that are already known. Example
  • Initialize the bucket. Note This action is the trigger to move to the next phase. Example

Once the bucket is initialized, the planning is considered open and it is possible to interact with it.

Open planning

At this point, the plan is open for orders to be added and planned. Plotwise magic is running continuously and is making sure all the new information is introduced and managed in the most efficient way.

In this phase you can:

Execution

Now it is your time to shine, we've provided you of the most optimal plan you could ever have. It is time to hit the road and Execute the plan.

Once you executed the plan, we are very curious about the realization of it and are happy to continuously improve our planning solution with it.
