The Industry Problem

Manual Reordering Fails at Scale

When replenishment depends on someone remembering to check stock levels, things slip through. Stock-outs cost sales. Rush orders cost margins. Excess inventory ties up cash.

  • Lost sales from unexpected stock-outs
  • Rush shipping fees to expedite late orders
  • Over-ordering to "be safe" ties up capital
  • Staff time wasted on manual stock reviews

The Cost of Stock-Outs

Industry studies show that stock-outs result in 31% of customers buying from a competitor and 9% not buying at all. With automated replenishment, you maintain optimal stock levels without constant manual monitoring.

Smart Replenishment Features

Configure once, let the system handle the rest

Reorder Points

Set minimum stock levels per item. When inventory drops below, the system triggers a replenishment suggestion.

Safety Stock

Buffer stock for demand variability. Safety stock ensures you don't hit zero while waiting for orders to arrive.

Economic Order Quantity

Calculate optimal order sizes balancing ordering costs against carrying costs. Order the right amount each time.

Auto PO Generation

System creates purchase orders automatically. Review and approve, or set for full automation with trusted vendors.

Preferred Vendors

Assign preferred vendors per item. Auto-generated POs go to the right supplier with correct pricing.

Lead Time Awareness

Factor in vendor lead times. Trigger reorders early enough to receive stock before you run out.
