Supplier crate with lemons, basil and coffee on a stone café counter

A forecast every morning: what runs out within 7 days, what is sitting in excess. A draft order per supplier in that supplier's packaging, a human says "ok", the order goes out by email or WhatsApp, the delivery is booked in the stock system on the day it arrives. The goal: no stop-lists, no excess stock, the warehouse kept at a target number of days.

Numbers will follow after launch.
