Forecast vs. stock gap detected
The challenge
The team manually calculated component requirements from production forecasts, figured out specific parts needed from different vendors, and hand-wrote individual purchase orders. This process consumed 10+ hours weekly and was riddled with calculation errors. Disconnected inventory data led to stockouts and production delays that directly impacted customer satisfaction.
What we built
We created a master dashboard with centralised inventory tracking. The client enters a two-week production forecast into a simple Google Sheet. The system instantly checks the forecast against live inventory, calculates exact components needed, and automatically generates and sends purchase order emails to the correct vendors. A master dashboard tracks inventory levels and the status of all purchase orders in real time.
How we got there
Centralise inventory data
Brought scattered vendor and inventory data into one master dashboard.
Automate the forecast-to-PO path
Built the logic that checks forecasts against live stock and drafts vendor-specific purchase orders.
Hand over the dashboard
Delivered the real-time inventory and PO-status view the team now runs daily.
Results
The team reclaimed 10+ hours of manual coordination work every week. Production delays were eliminated, directly contributing to 16% monthly revenue growth. Manual calculation errors were eradicated. A single real-time dashboard now monitors all vendor activity and inventory status.
