I've reviewed 4,180 lines across 62 vendors. 38 need ordering today and the rest can wait. Shall I draft the POs?

The problem

What general wholesale distributors tell us about replenishment.

More SKUs than the team can check

Buyers keep on top of the best sellers. The thousands of lines behind them only get looked at once a customer finds one missing.

Every vendor has its own rules

Hundreds of suppliers, each with its own MOQ, box size and PO minimum, and a spreadsheet that remembers none of them.

One-off orders that distort the history

A big customer order or a direct-ship job makes a line look busier than it is, and the next PO over-buys.

Buying knowledge in one person's head

Why a line is ordered the way it is lives with the buyer. When they're off, ordering slows down or stops.

The solution

No more manual line-by-line ordering.

Every line reviewed and explained. Agents work out what each product needs and draft the order. Your buyers check it, sign off line by line and export the PO.

time saved on reordering

Fewer stockouts across the long tail, not just the best sellers.

Less time buying with every line drafted and explained.

01 · More SKUs than the team can check

Every SKU checked, not just the best sellers

Cover is checked against lead time on every line, so the long tail gets the same attention as the top 100.

02 · Every vendor has its own rules

Vendor rules applied for you

Quantities round to each vendor's MOQ and box size, and line and PO minimums are checked before the order reaches your buyer.

03 · One-off orders that distort the history

Demand cleaned before it's used

Direct-ship orders, transfers, samples and staff sales are left out, and the AI asks your buyer about unusual orders before the next PO.

04 · Buying knowledge in one person's head

Every decision written down

Each line gets an order or a wait, a date and a reason, so anyone on the team can pick up the PO.
