Optimize Sourcing & Ordering

Inbound Planning, Purchasing & Supplier Collaboration

The Problem

Late deliveries, damaged or lost shipments, uncontrolled spending and volatile prices are everyday problems in retail buying. Tracking all of this across many suppliers is hard, and buying ROI suffers.

How we solve it

Dataviva Inbound Planning chooses where to buy and turns the plan into purchase orders. Sourcing decisions weigh each supplier’s track record against the market price feeds you already use, and supplier auctions pick the best offer on total supply chain cost, not on unit price alone.

Purchase orders are sized from replenishment plans and the demand forecast, and respect order and truck constraints. It runs alongside your ERP, without big technology or process changes.

• Sourcing rules set which supplier or DC serves each item and location
• Supplier performance is tracked: reliability, competitiveness and capacity to deliver
• Purchase orders observe negotiated terms and volume-based pricing
• Supplier auctions select the best offer on total supply chain cost
• Delivery plans respect order and truck constraints
