About This Automation

Supplier and order management covers checking stock, calculating reorder quantities, drafting purchase orders, and chasing supplier confirmations. Doing this by hand across spreadsheets and email creates delays and makes it easy to miss reorder points or invoice mismatches.

The automated version watches stock levels, drafts and sends purchase orders, and follows up with suppliers without manual intervention. It also matches invoices against orders automatically, shortening order turnaround and reducing reconciliation errors.

Key features
Monitor stock levels continuously against reorder thresholds for every SKU
Calculate reorder quantities using lead time and sales velocity data
Draft and send purchase orders to suppliers without manual entry
Follow up automatically when a supplier does not confirm an order on time
Match incoming invoices against purchase orders and flag mismatches
Update inventory records once a shipment is confirmed as received

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Stock Level Check Runstrigger

The platform monitors inventory and flags any SKU that crosses its reorder threshold.

2. Drafts Purchase Order

The reorder calculates quantities and builds a purchase order using supplier pricing and lead time data.

3. Send PO To Supplier

The draft PO is emailed to the supplier's ordering contact automatically.

4. Chases Unconfirmed Orders

If the supplier has not confirmed within 24 hours, the automation sends a follow-up email and escalates after a second miss.

5. Log Order In Tracker

Confirmed orders and expected delivery dates are written straight into the shared tracker.

6. Reconciles Invoice To PO

When the supplier invoice arrives, the automation matches it line by line against the original PO and flags mismatches.

7. Notify Warehouse For Receipt Check

A message tells the warehouse team to confirm physical receipt before the inventory record is finalized.
