Purchasing

Reorders drafted for the purchaser, who approves every line.

The problem

Reorders depend on one person who knows which items run low, which supplier to use and how many to buy. When that person is out, buying slows down or stops.

What was built

A purchasing assistant that drafts the reorders against the ERP and keys the approved lines, with a record of each line. The purchaser approves each line; nothing is bought without that approval.

What was measured

97.6%of the reorder lines buyers went on to order kept the suggested quantity (1,096 of 1,123, over five weeks).

What you could expect

A drafted reorder to review instead of a blank screen, and a purchaser who stays in charge of every line.

This describes the aim for a new engagement, not a guarantee. Results depend on your systems and data, and we measure them with you.

How we start

Start with one supplier or one product group. Compare the drafts with what the purchaser would have ordered, line by line.
