Core of repleno
Your warehouse orders on its own
Screws, cables, anchors: repleno detects when restocking is due and orders from your suppliers. No checking, no lists, no evenings in the warehouse.
Monday, 6:45 AM. The cable reel is empty. You send two of your guys to the wholesaler before heading to the job site. They don't arrive at the customer's until 9:30 AM, and in the evening you're pushing order slips instead of calling it a day. That's everyday life in thousands of businesses. Stockouts and tied-up capital cost small businesses real money (Panigrahi et al., 2024). repleno puts an end to that: you set a minimum and maximum stock level per item. The app takes care of the rest.

How it works
Four steps to automatic reordering.
01
Team scans on withdrawal
Scan barcode, confirm quantity, done. 5 seconds per booking.
02
repleno detects low stock
As soon as an item falls below the minimum level, it lands on the order list. Without you having to check.
03
Order goes out
repleno bundles orders and sends them to your suppliers via email. Once a day, automatically. Your supplier needs no software.
04
Goods arrive
Open the app, select the open order, book goods receipt. Stock is updated immediately.
Your Benefits
Fewer trips, less stress, more control.
No more emergency purchases
Material is reordered before the shelf runs empty. Your first coffee in the morning belongs to you, not the wholesaler.
Set it once, forget about it
You define per item how repleno reacts. After that it just runs. No daily decisions, no mental math, no forgetting.
Quitting time means quitting time
When you leave the workshop, repleno has already sent the orders. No catching up, no guilty conscience.
Demand Notification vs. Purchase Order
Not every item should be ordered automatically. 1,000 m NYM-J 5x16 mm² costs four figures. You want to review that first, get quotes, and order from the cheapest supplier. That's what demand notifications are for.
01
You decide:
Per item you choose: order automatically, or get notified when stock hits the minimum.
02
Two paths, one system:
When an autopilot item drops below the minimum, the order goes out right away. For an item with demand notification, you get a notification and decide yourself when and where to order.
03
Why this saves money:
Every manual order costs you 15 to 20 minutes. With 50 C-items per month, that's over 12 hours. Autopilot for small parts gives you that time back.
How to set it up
Setup takes only a few minutes.
01
Create the item, define minimum and maximum stock levels.
02
Use the app to link the barcode to the item by scanning and enter the current stock.
03
Choose per item: automatic ordering or demand notification. Done. From now on, repleno takes over.
Real world: Horst Filip GmbH, Enger
Drill bits and indexable inserts for the CNC machine: When a tool is missing, the machine stands still or jobs need to be rescheduled. Tapio Reinhold wanted two things: to know what is in stock, where it is, and when something is running low, and a lean ordering process where he doesn't have to look everything up by hand. Today he gets a demand notification as soon as stock runs low. No searching, no downtime, no surprises.
“I want to know when something is running low. Before the machine stops, not after.”
Frequently Asked Questions
repleno only orders items that you have created and assigned to a supplier. The order quantity is your maximum stock minus your current stock. It never orders more than fits on your shelf. If you want to pause an item, you turn off automatic ordering with a single tap.
Yes. You can add as many suppliers as you need. repleno assigns items to the right supplier and sends orders in a supplier-friendly format (text + CSV) via email. Any supplier can process that without installing software.
repleno doesn't negotiate prices. repleno orders items. When a boss spends 10 minutes comparing prices, it costs the business around 20 euros in opportunity costs. Those are exactly the process costs repleno saves.
repleno has no influence on delivery times. repleno sets the next day as the desired delivery date.
Minimum order values are optional and can be defined per supplier. repleno holds order items until the total exceeds the minimum order value, then sends.
repleno is built for consumables: screws, cables, anchors, connectors. Materials that should always be in stock. Project-specific materials like a solar system or 200m of specialty cable are better ordered directly from your supplier as usual.
