Tyre Stock & Reorder Management

Q: Can the automation handle multiple locations or branches?

Yes. The system monitors inventory across all locations, consolidates reorder needs, and routes orders to the appropriate suppliers for each branch.

Q: Will existing purchase order history affect supplier selection?

The automation learns from past performance, lead times, and reliability to rank suppliers fairly. You can adjust selection rules anytime.

Q: What if we want to manually override a purchase order before it sends?

The system can be configured to require approval before sending, or to send automatically with a notification so you can cancel if needed.

Q: Does the automation work with our current accounting software?

Yes. It integrates with QuickBooks Online, Xero, and other mainstream accounting platforms to log purchase orders automatically.

Keep every tyre bay stocked without manual counting, missed reorders, or surprise stockouts.

About This Automation

Tyre shops manually count inventory daily, identify low stock items by scanning spreadsheets, and contact multiple suppliers for pricing comparisons. This process is time-consuming, error-prone, and delays reordering by 2-3 days.

Automation monitors inventory continuously, identifies reorder needs automatically, retrieves supplier pricing, and generates purchase orders without manual intervention. Stock arrives faster, stockouts drop significantly, and staff focus on sales instead of paperwork.

Key features:

Monitor inventory thresholds daily and flag items needing reorder automatically

Retrieve and compare supplier pricing without manual phone calls or emails

Select the best supplier based on cost, lead time, and past performance

Generate and send purchase orders to suppliers in minutes

Log all purchase orders in accounting software for cost tracking

Track delivery status and update inventory upon receipt

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Inventory Check Triggeredtrigger

Daily at 6 AM, the automation platform queries the current inventory spreadsheet and compares stock levels against reorder thresholds for each tyre size and location.

2. Identify Low Stock Items

The system automatically flags any item below its minimum threshold and prepares a list of items to reorder with quantities needed.

3. Fetch Supplier Pricing

The automation queries supplier APIs or a pricing spreadsheet to retrieve current unit costs, lead times, and availability for each flagged item.

4. Select Best Supplier

The automation evaluates pricing, lead time, and supplier reliability rules to select the best supplier for each item or group of items.

5. Create Purchase Order

A formatted purchase order is automatically generated with item codes, quantities, unit prices, and delivery address, then sent to the selected supplier via email.

6. Log PO in Accounting

The purchase order is automatically recorded or with the supplier, amount, and expected delivery date for cost tracking.

7. Notify Team

A summary message is posted confirming the reorder, supplier, and expected delivery date so the team stays informed.
