Who repleno is for

Who repleno fits, which items you manage and what you need to get started.


Who repleno is for

repleno is for anyone who wants to solve a problem in their stock room and keep track of their stock digitally. If you recognize yourself in one of these points, repleno fits you:

  • You are fed up with spreadsheets.
  • You have no system yet and want to set up stock keeping for the first time.
  • You want fewer missing parts.
  • You want to get rid of paper notes in the stock room.
  • You run a stock room and have no overview.
  • You keep searching for where a part is.
  • The stock count is a major effort every year, and differences remain at the end.
  • A big warehouse management system is too expensive and too complicated for you.
  • You want to know what is in stock when you are on the road, too.
  • Reordering happens on a shout, by chat or by gut feeling.
  • Emergency orders and extra trips to the wholesaler or hardware store are part of everyday life.
  • The list says three are left, the shelf has none.
  • Nobody knows for sure whether an item has already been ordered.
  • The office phone rings: “Boss, do we still have X in stock?”

Which items you manage

You manage whatever you want in repleno: the toner cartridge in the office cabinet just as much as the proximity sensor on the spare parts shelf or the box of anchors. repleno pays off most for material whose absence hurts. You do not have to capture your entire assortment. Many businesses leave out project material that goes straight to the job.

Who takes part

  • Owners and operations managers want less searching and fewer follow-up questions.
  • Warehouse or material owners maintain items, reorder points and suppliers.
  • Employees in daily work book their withdrawals in the app without having to deal with ordering. They see stock on their phone on the road too.

In daily work, one principle counts most: Whoever takes something, books it.

What you need

  • one person who maintains items, reorder points and suppliers
  • employees who book their withdrawals
  • the employees' own smartphone or a shared device in the stock room (Android or iOS)
  • internet in the stock room
  • barcodes on material, shelves or containers speed up booking, but they are not required

Not sure whether repleno fits you? Who repleno is not for shows the cases where it does not fit.

Who is repleno for?+−

repleno is for businesses with small and large teams that want to capture, manage, and reorder their material better in daily work, without introducing a heavy ERP system. Everyone on the team books, because stock is only right when everyone takes part.

Which items can I manage in repleno?+−

Anything you want to manage. repleno imposes no rules on type of goods or value class: anchors and terminals work just as well as a proximity sensor or a toner cartridge in the office cabinet.

Can I manage A, B and C parts with repleno?+−

repleno imposes no rules on value class: A, B and C parts can all be managed. You decide which items you track.

Do I have to manage my entire assortment in repleno?+−

You decide which items enter the system. It pays off most for material you stock and whose absence hurts.

Do you need spreadsheets or an existing inventory system?+−

repleno also fits when there is no clear system yet. Spreadsheets, notes or verbal updates are not a requirement.

At what business size does repleno make sense?+−

Business size is not the deciding factor. repleno makes sense as soon as material is withdrawn regularly and recurring items should be reordered predictably.

Does the team need training for this?+−

repleno is designed so employees only scan or enter material movements and confirm quantities during daily work. One responsible person maintains items, suppliers and reorder points.

What needs to be clear before starting?+−

You need one responsible person, clearly identifiable items, defined suppliers or sources, a device to record on (a personal smartphone or a shared device in the warehouse), and internet at the relevant material points.
