Supplier records whose terms drive every order date
Each supplier is a record: who they are, who you contact, and the terms that govern ordering. Lead times, MOQs and container quantities are the inputs the reorder calculation runs on.
Lead times, MOQs and container quantities set the dates
Lead time, minimum order quantity, container quantity. If your co-man moves from six weeks to nine, every order date that depends on it recalculates, instead of staying wrong in a spreadsheet until someone notices.
Contacts kept with the terms
Who you email about a delayed run is on the same record as the lead time that got delayed. It is not in one person’s phone.
Every supplier in one place
Every supplier read from the same screen rather than reconstructed from a folder of POs and an email thread.
What the agent does with suppliers
Every night
Supplier terms are what the agent’s overnight math runs on, so a lead-time change shows up as re-ranked order dates in the next morning’s list.
What it can’t do
It cannot contact a supplier, send an order, or change a supplier’s terms. It cannot send anything outside Planster at all.
Example: a lead time that moved from six weeks to nine
Take a co-manufacturer that moves from six-week to nine-week runs. In a spreadsheet that is one cell nobody updates and four SKUs that arrive three weeks late. Changed on the supplier record, every dependent order date moves the same day.
How it fits together
Every capability runs on the same demand forecast, so each one makes the others more useful.
