Forecasting tells you what to buy. But how do you buy it? This update closes the loop by introducing a full-featured Purchase Order Management system directly within Logistified.
Purchase Order Workflow
Stop managing suppliers in spreadsheets and email threads. You can now track the entire lifecycle of a restock:
- Draft: Select items from your forecast and add them to a PO in one click. Adjust quantities and costs on the fly.
- Pending: Mark the order as sent to the supplier. The system tracks these "Incoming" units so you don't accidentally double-order.
- Fulfilled: When the shipment arrives, receive it in Logistified. We seamlessly sync the new inventory levels to Shopify, updating your stock counts instantly.
- Archived: Keep a permanent history of every procurement decision for accounting and audits.
Reorder Deadlines: The "When"
Most apps show you "Days of Supply". We go a step further. We now calculate a specific Reorder Deadline date for every SKU.
Formula: Predicted Stockout Date - Lead Time - Safety Buffer
If the Reorder Deadline is today (or in the past), the item is flagged red. This gives you a simple, calendar-based priority list of what needs your attention immediately.
Smart Search Engine
Finding the right products in a catalog of 10,000 SKUs can be a nightmare. Our new search bar introduces power-user features inspired by coding IDEs:
- Logical Operators: Search for "Tag:Summer AND Vendor:Nike" to drill down instantly.
- Autocomplete: The search predicts tags, vendors, and product types as you type.
- Fuzzy Matching: Handles typos gracefully so you still find "T-Shirt" even if you type "Tshrt".
