Procurement
Demand forecasting, reorder recommendations and purchase orders that reach your ERP — with the reasoning shown on every line.
The daily queue
What must be ordered today, what is stocking out, what is covered by an order already in transit, and what can wait. Each line carries its working: on hand, on order, reorder point, days of cover, lead time, and the demand signal behind it.
New items are separated from ones you have already seen, so a queue you worked yesterday does not look the same today.
Illustrative. Every line carries the reasoning behind it — what is on hand, what is already on order, and what the demand signal actually was.
How it forecasts
Demand here is not smooth. Customers buy in bulk on a cycle. The forecaster models that rhythm per SKU rather than averaging it away, and sizes orders against the cycle.
Contracted customer draws are tracked apart from general demand, so a contract is covered without double-counting it, and a committed shortfall is never quietly averaged out.
A SKU that always dips in the same month is not flagged as declining. The trend is measured against last year’s pattern before anything is raised.
Your buyers decide
Every recommendation is a buyer’s decision. Modify the quantity, the vendor, the cost or the delivery date with a reason recorded. Rejections are remembered, and reopen automatically if real demand returns. Approved lines group into vendor purchase orders, preview before anything is written, and push into your ERP on your approval. Each buyer works their own queue — nobody can push someone else’s.
What is sitting still, what it is costing to hold, and which items will not clear in the ordinary course.
Items with no alternate supplier, flagged against their lead time and current cover rather than in the abstract.
Where a minimum is blocking a sensible order, and what it would take to clear it.
Twenty minutes is usually enough to know whether this is worth going further. We’ll look at your ERP with you — and if the data isn’t ready, we’ll tell you that rather than sell around it.
