Get more visablity of your purchases with predictive procurement

Over the last 20 years TOM has been evolving to account for the fast-paced nature of the wholesale supply and distribution of fresh foods.  

Our software is designed to get your trucks out and deliveries to your customers fast, whilst giving you control.  

How you manage your supply chain is a critical element in your day-to-day operations as errors can easily cause disruption and cost you time and money.  It can also be frustrating when you think a product is in your warehouse but either there’s not enough stock to cover orders, it’s of poor quality or doesn’t have long-enough shelf life leaving you scrambling and either needing to re-deliver later that day or the next day. This can be a costly exercise.

TOM’s procurement functions give you unrivaled visibility that will reduce slippage, makes it easy to see costs, trends and associated items Eg:linking your KG to a BOX which flows into your costs and stock levels.

So how does it work?

Step 1: Feed TOM some parameters

Step 2: Let TOM do the math

What will you see?

By using TOMs predictive procurement algorithms, very quickly you will see what you need to buy and from there, you can email bulk purchases orders directly to your suppliers and/or place orders and negotiate prices with suppliers on the spot.

Perhaps the most important thing that you can see in a matter of seconds is what is short, giving you visibility of what you need in your warehouse asap to get your trucks out and deliver in full. Having that power and ability means you can avoid costly re-deliveries and easily manage expectations with your customers.

TOM will also help you keep your warehouse replenished and it can be managed via a tablet which allows you to update it in real time where ever you are.

It is important to note that there are a couple things you need to do to get this kind of visibility in your warehouse, see our article on stocktake, click here to learn more.
