Smart Replenishment

In interactive demo

Know what to reorder today, and why

Nexus365 calculates reorder quantities from sales velocity, stock on hand, stock on order, supplier lead time and safety stock. Each suggestion is explained and waits for a buyer's approval.

Reorder Laundry Detergent 1kg from Bengal Home Care Supply

Suggest 60 packs. There are about 8.7 days of cover across stores against a 7-day lead time plus a 7-day review period, and 60 packs are still outstanding on PO-2026-0409.

Why

  • 144 units on hand across stores, 60 on order
  • Supplier lead time 7 days; on-time rate 72%
  • Chattogram GEC has only 9 units left
Generated 8 Oct 2026, 09:15 Requires manager approval

Data inputs

What it learns from

Only data your business already records in Nexus365, scoped to the branches a user is allowed to see.

  • Sales velocity

    Average daily units across branches (forecasts, once available).

  • Stock and on-order

    On-hand at stores and the DC, plus open PO quantities.

  • Supplier lead times

    Measured lead times from Supplier DNA.

  • Safety stock

    A buffer sized to demand variability and lead time.

How it works

Inside Smart Replenishment

  1. Step 1

    Target level

    Target = daily demand × (lead time + review period) + safety stock.

  2. Step 2

    Net position

    Subtracts stock on hand and stock already on order.

  3. Step 3

    Round sensibly

    Rounds up to pack sizes and groups lines by supplier.

  4. Step 4

    Draft for approval

    Creates a draft that a buyer reviews, edits and approves before it becomes a PO.

Outputs

What you get

  • Reorder drafts

    Grouped by supplier, with a suggested quantity per line.

  • Line explanations

    Cover days, lead time and buffer behind each quantity.

  • Approval trail

    Who approved, what they changed, and when.

Trust & control

Uncertainty is shown. Decisions stay with people.

Confidence and uncertainty

Suggested quantities are estimates that assume recent demand continues and suppliers deliver within their measured lead time. Where a supplier is unreliable, the buffer increases and the suggestion says so. The calculation is shown for every line.

Human review and approval

Smart Replenishment never creates or sends a purchase order by itself. A buyer reviews the draft, changes quantities if needed and submits it. Approval rules, such as manager sign-off above a set amount, apply as configured, and every step is logged in the audit trail.

Business value

Why it matters

  • Fewer empty shelves

    Reorder before you run out, not after.

  • Less excess stock

    Order what the numbers support, not what feels safe.

  • Faster purchasing

    Buyers review a ready draft instead of counting shelves.
