Keep the next order moving
How we help
A product can be available in reserve storage while its picking location is empty. Equally, a busy sales period can use the remaining stock before anyone has turned the inventory report into an inbound plan.
BrownBag helps organise replenishment around the stock you hold, where it is needed and the lead times your team provides. We distinguish internal stock moves from supplier reorder decisions and make both easier to follow. Your team gains a visible set of actions instead of discovering shortages at the packing table.

How the work is handled
Set the replenishment rules
Review picking locations, reserve quantities, demand patterns and known inbound lead times. Agree the trigger or review method for each relevant product group, including how promotions and unusual demand should be flagged for human review.
Move available stock to the work
Identify picking locations that need replenishment and confirm the reserve stock available. Record the quantities moved and update the relevant location records so the replenishment solves the immediate need without creating an unexplained inventory difference elsewhere.
Make inbound decisions visible
Prepare the stock and shortage information your purchasing team needs to plan the next receipt. Track the agreed actions and expected arrivals, keeping reorder recommendations separate from purchase commitments that require your approval.

Your questions, answered
Does this include ordering from our suppliers?
The replenishment scope can provide the information and coordination for purchasing. Supplier orders and financial commitments follow your approval process; sourcing support can be connected where needed.
Can the rules change for a promotion?
Yes. Share the planned activity and expected change in demand. We can review picking stock and inbound assumptions so the operating plan reflects the promotion rather than only recent sales.
