When you buy from a dozen makers, each with their own minimums, case packs, and timelines, the hard part is keeping track. Posto remembers every supplier's rules, rounds every order to them, and sends each one its own purchase order.
How to negotiate minimum order quantitiesStart 30 days freeOne maker sells candles by the case of 6, another won't take an order under 24 units, and a third takes three weeks instead of one. Keeping all of that in your head, or in a spreadsheet, is where orders go wrong.
And with small, frequent orders, the admin adds up: writing each order, emailing it, and remembering which deliveries are still to come.
The numbers in this example are illustrative.
Posto lists every product at or below its reorder point, most urgent first, and can email you the list daily or weekly.
Pick what to reorder, and Posto groups it into one draft for each maker, rounded to their minimums and case packs.
Email each order with a PDF, then record deliveries as they arrive, including partial ones, at the location you choose.
Upload your supplier list and product costs from a spreadsheet, or rebuild your suppliers from Stocky's purchase order exports. Posto previews everything before saving. A name, email, and lead time for each supplier is enough to start.
Choose one as the primary supplier, and its lead time and rules shape the forecast. You can still order from the other, and that order is rounded to the other supplier's case pack and minimum.
Posto rounds each product up to its minimum and case pack, and you can adjust any quantity before you send the order.
Yes. Posto reads stock across all your locations, including POS locations, and you choose which location to receive each order into. Forecasts are store-wide.
No. Posto doesn't print price or barcode labels, scan barcodes, or run stock counts. It focuses on what to reorder, sending the order, and what each unit really cost. For labels, Shopify's free Retail Barcode Labels app prints them from your product list. Stock counts can be run in the Shopify admin, and counting in Shopify POS needs POS Pro.
