  2. Core Concepts

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 the core principle behind repleno: consumption tracking, demand, and ordering are separate steps so replenishment can be triggered before a stockout occurs.

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.
