Smart Procurement

Decide what to order, when and in what quantities, without having to buy on a whim.

When purchasing is still based on manual exports or experience, mistakes quickly become costly: out-of-stocks, excess inventory, tied-up cash. With Smart ProcurementShippingbo helps you to structure your replenishments on the basis of real data, so you can buy more accurately, reduce avoidable shortages and limit over-ordering.

  • Better control your cash flow

    Buy what you need, when you need it. Smart Procurement limits over-ordering and reduces capital tied up in references that go wrong.

  • Save time on replenishment

    No more extractions, consolidations and manual calculations. You can structure your purchasing faster and spend less time checking files.

  • Secure your sales against out-of-stock situations

    The module cross-references sales, stock and supplier lead times to help you anticipate needs before shortages break your sales.

  • Structure your purchasing without a major project

    No external tools, no parallel systems. Smart Procurement integrates directly with Shippingbo to professionalize your purchasing decisions without complicating your organization.

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.
