Core Concepts

Understand the core principles behind repleno: the difference between consumption and order, batch orders, reorder points, and supplier logic.


Consumption vs. Order

Understand why repleno separates consumption, demand, and ordering—so you replenish before stock runs out.

Batch Orders and Dispatch Times

Understand how repleno collects demands per supplier as order line items, works with fixed dispatch times, and creates a reliable ordering routine.

Minimum Stock and Automation

Understand how repleno uses reorder points, minimum stock, and maximum stock levels to detect demand before a stockout occurs.

One System for All Suppliers

repleno brings all suppliers into one unified process: one workflow, one overview, regardless of supplier.

Why repleno Is Not a Kanban System

repleno and Kanban solve the same problem with different means. The difference lies in the signal: physical vs. digital.
