Stop buying on gut feel.
Forecast, suggest, approve, order — before the stockout, not after it.
Supply Chain turns your own sales history into a working plan: forecast runs score every SKU for risk, replenishment suggestions arrive grouped by vendor and warehouse, and approved batches become draft purchase orders or stock transfers in one click. Buyers stay in charge of every dollar — the module just makes sure they see the stockout three weeks before the customer does.
- Forecast runs with trend, seasonality and service-level targets
- Replenishment suggestions batched straight into draft POs or transfers
- Exception center for stockouts, demand spikes, drops and excess stock
- Vendor reliability scoring that feeds back into safety stock
- Intercompany transfers with landed cost, markup and multi-currency
What's included
A planning layer that reads live stock, open POs and sales history — and writes real purchase orders, not another spreadsheet.
Forecasting
- Configurable forecast runs. Set horizon, history window, trend and seasonality per planning profile, so the fast movers and the long tail aren't forced through one formula.
- Per-product planning parameters. Forecast method, safety stock, reorder point, velocity class and preferred vendor per SKU — the odd product stops breaking the average rule.
- Seasonal indices. Monthly indices computed from your own sales history, so December demand stops being forecast from a July average.
- Promotional uplift calendar. Register promotions with uplift and washout so the planned spike doesn't read as organic demand and over-order the month after.
- Manual overrides. Date-bounded fixed, multiplier or additive overrides per product and warehouse — when the buyer knows something the history doesn't, the buyer wins.
- Service-level targets. Safety stock derives from the fill rate you choose, so the stock-versus-stockout trade-off is a stated policy instead of an accident.
Replenishment
- Suggestion workbench. Every forecast line with average daily sales, on-hand, inbound, net available, days of cover and suggested quantity — the whole buy decision on one grid.
- Bulk approve, reject, hold, snooze. Work hundreds of suggestions by status tab in minutes instead of re-deriving each one in a spreadsheet.
- Batch to draft purchase order. Approved suggestions group by vendor and warehouse and convert to draft POs, so a morning's planning ends as orders, not a to-do list.
- Batch to stock transfer. When another warehouse already holds the stock, convert the batch to a transfer instead of buying what you already own.
- Inventory position grid. On-hand, available, reserved, inbound PO, lead time, reorder point and min/max per product and warehouse — the raw position, always current.
Exceptions & accuracy
- Exception center. Stockouts, demand spikes, demand drops and excess stock become assignable, resolvable work items instead of surprises found in a report.
- Forecast accuracy tracking. Accuracy and bias per product, computed against what actually sold — so you know whether to trust the model before you enlarge the order.
- Method suggestions. The accuracy engine flags products whose forecast method keeps missing and proposes a better fit, closing the loop most planning tools leave open.
- Vendor performance scoring. On-time, fill rate and rejection rates from real receipt data roll into a reliability score — and unreliable vendors automatically earn more safety stock.
- Warehouse capacity review. Zone-level utilization against planned inbound, so the reorder that won't physically fit gets caught before the truck is booked.
Intercompany transfers
For operations with more than one company or branch — move stock between organizations with the cost story intact.
- Controlled transfer workflow. Draft, approve, ship, receive — with status-gated actions and an audit trail, so cross-company stock movement stops being an email thread.
- Expense allocation. Freight, brokerage and customs allocate across transfer lines by the method you pick, so landed cost lands on the units that incurred it.
- Configurable markup. Fixed or percentage markup between entities, applied per line and visible per line — transfer pricing by policy, not by memory.
- FIFO cost layers on both sides. Ship consumes cost layers at the source; receive creates fresh layers and a new cost version at the destination — each entity keeps a true cost history.
- Multi-currency with cost impact. Exchange rates apply per transfer and a cost-impact view shows the per-line buildup and variance, so nobody discovers the FX effect at month end.
Route planner (companion add-on)
For fleets that deliver what the plan bought — its own add-on line, fully included in the trial.
- Route templates. Define routes with driver, vehicle type, capacity limits and schedule days once, instead of rebuilding the run sheet every morning.
- Stop sequencing & optimization. Ordered stops with one-click nearest-neighbor optimization, so the route follows geography instead of the order the orders arrived in.
- Daily plan generation. Generate the day's plans for one route or all of them from the templates — dispatch becomes a button, not a meeting.
- Live stop execution. Depart, arrive, deliver and complete are recorded as they happen, with signature capture at the door — proof of delivery without a paper run sheet.
- Plan progress tracking. Delivered-versus-total stops per plan in real time, so 'where's the truck' has an answer that isn't a phone call.
From forecast line to purchase order without leaving the screen.
The workbench shows every SKU the run planned: what it sells per day, what's on hand, what's inbound, how many days of cover remain and what the engine suggests buying. Approve what you agree with, hold what you don't, batch the rest by vendor — and convert the batch to draft POs your purchasing module already knows how to handle.
- Risk-ranked, not alphabetical — stockout-risk items surface first, so the urgent buy never hides on page nine.
- The buyer approves every line — nothing becomes an order without a human decision — the engine proposes, people dispose.
- Transfers when you already own it — the same batch converts to a cross-warehouse transfer when buying would duplicate stock.
Move stock between companies. Keep the cost story straight.
When one entity ships to another, the transfer carries the source cost, allocates the freight and brokerage, applies your markup policy and books a fresh cost layer on the receiving side — in the receiving company's currency. Both sets of books stay defensible, and the cost-impact tab shows the whole buildup line by line before anyone commits.
- Landed cost, not list cost — allocated expenses ride on the units, so the destination margin math is real.
- A workflow finance can approve — draft, approve, ship, receive — each step stamped, each step permissioned.
- FX visible before posting — per-line cost impact with the exchange rate applied, reviewed up front instead of reconciled later.
What buyers ask
How much sales history does the forecast need before it's useful?
It starts working with whatever you have — trend-based methods run on short histories, and the import wizard can load your legacy sales data to give it a head start. Seasonal indices switch on once a product has six months of history, and the accuracy tracker tells you per product how much to trust the numbers.
Will it start creating purchase orders on its own?
No. Suggestions are exactly that — a buyer approves them, batches them and converts the batch to draft POs. Every order that reaches a vendor passed through a human decision, and the audit trail shows whose.
Our buyer knows things the history doesn't — can they override the forecast?
Yes. Overrides are date-bounded and come in three forms — a fixed quantity, a multiplier, or an additive bump — per product and warehouse. The promotion calendar handles the planned spikes so they don't contaminate next season's baseline.
Two of our warehouses feed each other. Can it suggest a transfer instead of a purchase?
Yes. A replenishment batch converts to a cross-warehouse stock transfer instead of a PO when the stock already exists in your network — the engine helps you stop buying what you already own.
How do intercompany transfers handle cost between our two companies?
The transfer cost starts from the source company's current cost, adds allocated expenses like freight and customs, and applies your fixed or percentage markup. On receipt, the destination company gets its own cost version and FIFO cost layer in its own currency — so each entity's margin reporting stands on its own.
Is route planning part of this module?
Demand planning, replenishment and intercompany transfers ship with the Supply Chain add-on; the delivery route planner is its own add-on line. Each is $25 per user per month — and everything, both included, is switched on during the 14-day trial.
Run next month's buy against last year's truth.
Load your history in the trial, run a forecast and put the suggestion workbench next to your buyer's spreadsheet. One of them will be retired in fourteen days.
