Several locations, one shared hub
Past three locations, ordering no longer fits in one person's head. Then comes the familiar pattern: one store is empty while the hub is full of the same item — and both facts surface only after the fact.
How it works today
- Requests arrive in a messenger and are consolidated into a spreadsheet by hand.
- A location orders “the usual”, unrelated to its actual coverage.
- Surplus shows up at stocktake; a shortage shows up as a complaint.
What changes
The system computes each location's need; a human reviews and edits. Every edit is stored with its author — a month later it is clear who was right.
Goods go where they run out first — not split evenly, and not to whoever called first.
A per-supplier schedule, a delivery check, the supplier's reply in the history. Large orders can require an explicit confirmation.
Where to start
Most start with one product group and one hub: two or three weeks of data is enough to compare the system's calculation with what you would have ordered.
