Transform your Shippingbo data into structured purchasing decisions
If your purchasing is still based on Excel, this is a weak point. Smart Procurement complements Shippingbo where many e-tailers are still tinkering: the purchasing decision. The module links your sales, stock, supplier orders and receipts more directly, making your management clearer, more sharable and more reliable.
Flow analysis: start with your real data
Smart Procurement analyzes your sales, available stock, work-in-progress and supplier lead times to build a reliable picture of your needs, without manual export or reprocessing in a spreadsheet.
Calculating needs: get away from knee-jerk decisions
The module determines order quantities based on your data and security parameters. This reduces the need for approximations, hasty decisions and replenishment errors.
Purchase suggestions: see what to recommend faster
The system shows you which SKUs need to be ordered to maintain a consistent stock level. You gain visibility, prioritize more easily and move forward with a clear basis for decision-making.
Purchase orders and delivery notes: close the loop
Validate your suggestions, generate your purchase orders and create your delivery notes in the same environment. Purchasing work directly prepares the work of the warehouse teams.
