Sourcing ingredients means checking stock levels, gathering supplier quotes by email, and building purchase orders by hand. This creates delays and inconsistent pricing decisions because comparisons rely on scattered spreadsheets and inboxes.
The automated version tracks inventory thresholds, pulls current supplier pricing, and drafts purchase orders for approval on its own. Orders move from flagged shortage to confirmed delivery date with far less manual coordination.
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
The workflow watches the ingredient tracking sheet and fires the moment an item crosses its reorder threshold.
Pulls current pricing from supplier email threads and price sheets, then ranks suppliers by cost for the needed quantity.
Builds the PO against the lowest-cost qualifying supplier with quantities pulled from the tracking sheet.
Orders above the spending threshold route to the plant manager for a one-tap approval.
The approved or auto-cleared PO is emailed to the supplier with no manual copy-paste.
Order details, chosen supplier, and expected delivery date are written back to the tracking sheet automatically.
The procurement channel gets a summary of the order placed and when it's due.
