Stock runs out, then we overbuy.

Reordering depends on someone noticing the shelf is empty. We set reorder points from real sales and get supplier quotes and POs out before the stock-out.

What we did, stage by stage

  1. Assess

    We pull a year of sales and stock data and show the cost of every stock-out and overstock.

  2. Automate

    Daily velocity sets reorder points; RFQs go to approved suppliers and POs are issued in your ERP.

  3. Optimise

    We re-tune reorder points by season and supplier lead time every quarter.

  4. Run

    Monitoring and supplier changes are covered by a capped retainer.

03 · The process

Inventory replenishment

Sales velocity sets the reorder point, suppliers quote, a buyer picks, and the PO goes out before the shelf is empty.

05 · Questions

Questions

  • Who decides what we buy?

    Your buyer does: Devvion's flow prepares the forecast and the quotes; the buyer picks the supplier, and anything over the limit goes to finance before a PO is issued.

  • Does this work with a POS and an online store?

    Yes, Devvion combines sales from your POS, Shopify or other store and ERP into one velocity figure per item and location.
