Demand forecasting and reorder management requires operations teams to manually export sales data, check inventory counts, calculate reorder quantities in spreadsheets, and compose individual supplier emails.
Automation analyzes sales history, applies seasonality factors, and calculates optimal reorder quantities automatically. The system generates supplier-specific emails, logs orders in accounting software, and notifies the warehouse team, reducing manual work from per cycle to of review only.
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
Every Monday at 9 AM, the automation platform checks for the previous week's sales data and current inventory levels.
The automation pulls sales transactions and stock counts and stores them in a structured format for analysis.
The automation analyzes 12 weeks of historical sales, applies seasonality adjustments, and calculates optimal reorder quantities based on lead times and safety stock thresholds.
The system checks whether any SKU's forecast is an outlier (e.g., 300% above normal). If so, a manual review step is triggered; otherwise, the forecast proceeds.
The automation creates supplier-specific reorder emails with quantities, delivery dates, and payment terms, formatted and ready to send.
Emails are sent automatically to each supplier with the reorder details and a confirmation receipt logged.
Purchase order details are automatically created with the correct supplier, amount, and expected delivery date.
A summary of the week's reorders is posted with SKU counts, suppliers, and expected delivery dates so the warehouse team is informed.
