Prerequisites and availability
Product intelligence · PIM / CIM
Supported options, constraints, sources and leading systems are agreed for your product range.
Predictions
Compare forecasts with later actuals. Accuracy depends on qualified data and the task. TabPFN and the TimesFM integration profile are third-party options within the accepted deployment.
Editable outputs · Toolbox
Supported workbook updates retain formulas. Charts, macros and pivots need a specialist path. Drawing support is bounded; manufacturing release remains separate.
Shopfloor · shifts · maintenance
Factory is an individually agreed pilot. Machine connections, production work and maintenance follow that scope. An acknowledgment or print handoff does not start a machine. Standard Odoo Shop Floor is third-party functionality under the agreed Odoo setup.
Shop · marketing · social · AI video
Shopware 6 has the broader qualified commerce workflow. Shopify has a bounded cart bridge and SEO/content profile. WooCommerce supports SEO reception and native rendering. Magento receiver and discovery endpoints have their own limits. Platform parity is not implied.
Digital product passport · DPP
The required records and regulatory profile must be qualified for the product and market. A complete-looking record is not universal legal certification.
Real-world assets · RWA
Digital evidence does not itself transfer legal title, create liquidity or provide financing. The object, recipient, evidence and legal arrangements need their own review.
Permissioned company collaboration · Federation
Comparable group reporting needs qualified sources and a defined reporting perimeter. A shared view is not automatically a complete consolidated set of accounts.
Private AI
Local inference can reduce external model exposure. Hardware, software and operations still carry costs. A private inference route does not mean the entire HEINI service runs locally or grants automatic GDPR compliance.
HEINI ERP is scoped from January 2027. Scope, plan and connections are agreed for your business. HEINI prepares accounting entries; you or your tax adviser review and post them. Payment proposals require your approval.
