Demand forecasting, requirement calculation, and purchase request creation are linked with stock, budgets, and delivery schedules. Procurement stops being a manual assembly from Excel and email and becomes a process visible from forecast to receiving.

What planning consists of

Demand forecast down to SKU and location

The models calculate how much to buy and where to deliver it, taking seasonality, promotions, and sales history into account. Forecasting is not done for the product group as a whole, but for each specific item and location.

Automatic purchase requests

The system creates orders based on defined conditions: lot size, delivery lead time, budget, and supplier priority. Manual input remains only where human judgment is needed.

Approvals without email and Excel

The entire approval chain lives in the interface: who approved it, what changed, and where the request is now. The decision history is saved with the request.

Linked to stock and logistics

The procurement plan takes current stock, delivery schedules, and warehouse capacity into account, so orders do not arrive where there is nowhere to receive them.

What purchase automation delivers

22%reduced excess inventory
70%errors are eliminated automatically

How procurement is calculated

  1. 01

    We collect history and the current state

    Sales, warehouse and store stock, promo calendar, supplier lead times and terms. Data comes from accounting systems, not manual exports.

  2. 02

    We calculate demand forecast

    The model provides expected demand by SKU and location, taking seasonality and promotions into account. Where there is little history, the forecast relies on analogs and expert rules.

  3. 03

    We turn forecast into demand

    Stock and already placed orders are subtracted from the forecast, then safety stock and lead time are added. The result is how much to order and when.

  4. 04

    We create and approve the request

    Requests are assembled according to lot rules, budgets, and supplier priorities, then sent for approval in the system with decisions recorded.

  5. 05

    We monitor execution

    Confirmation, shipment, and receiving are tracked. Any deviation in timing or volume is visible before it turns into a shortage on the shelf or at the site.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can stock be reduced and shortages avoided?

The system forecasts demand by product, region, and sales location. You buy what will actually sell, in the right quantities.

How can procurement planning accuracy be improved?

We use machine learning algorithms that account for seasonality, promotions, weather, and customer behavior. Forecast accuracy reaches up to 90% at SKU level.

How can procurement be linked with sales and marketing?

The platform unifies the funnel: demand, stock, and promotion data are used to calculate supply. Everything is in one system.

What if there are many suppliers and warehouses?

We automate priorities and routing. The system creates requests automatically, taking into account logistics, volumes, and lead times.

How quickly can the solution be implemented?

The first results come in 2-3 months. Integration is phased, with a focus on quick returns from the first categories.
