Inventory policies that guide every purchase
At the core of smarter buying is consistency - and that starts with well-defined inventory policies. In Hakio’s Buying module, you can easily set safety stock targets, lead times, and replenishment frequency for every product.
These settings become the backbone of your purchase planning process, ensuring suggestions and plans are always in sync with your business logic and supply chain needs.
Navigate supplier constraints with ease
Supplier constraints are a common bottleneck in purchase planning. Hakio’s Buying Module helps you strike the right balance between operational flexibility and supplier requirements with these simple but effective features:
- Automatic constraint detection: As soon as an order violates a supplier rule - Hakio flags the issue.
- Optimized resolution suggestions: The system proposes the best fix: adjust quantities, split orders, or consolidate SKUs to meet vendor rules.
- Cost-benefit guidance: See when it’s more economical to pay an upcharge versus ordering full MOQ quantities.
- Streamlined order compliance: All suggested fixes are rooted in your inventory policies and forecast data.
NooS and seasonal purchase planning
Planning for both Never out of Stock (NooS) and seasonal items requires structure, speed, and flexibility.
For NooS items, Hakio helps you get clarity on:
- What to buy: System-suggested SKUs based on forecast and availability.
- When to buy: Timeline recommendations that match lead times and replenishment cycles.
- How much to order: Quantities optimized for demand and safety stock settings.
For seasonal collections, the module supports more tailored purchase planning:
- Custom planning flows aligned to your collection calendar.
- Buy suggestions based on forecasted demand, current inventory, and delivery windows.
- Snapshot functionality so you can freeze purchase plans at decision time and revisit the data behind them.
Product planning across channels
Hakio supports channel-level product planning, allowing you to forecast and purchase separately for e-commerce, wholesale, and physical retail. You’ll see demand patterns for each channel and adjust your buys accordingly - ensuring each part of your business gets the right stock at the right time.
Planning across channels helps avoid over- or under-buying for a specific market and gives your team the clarity needed to support product launches, replenishment campaigns, or promotional pushes with precision.
Purchase planning that adapts with you
Markets shift. Supply chains change. Teams grow. The Hakio Buying Module is designed to flex with your needs - while keeping your purchase planning framework consistent and scalable.
