Lancaster Purchasing in ChatGPT

Ask ChatGPT what to reorder.

Lancaster Purchasing connects ChatGPT to your inventory system and answers the weekly purchasing questions: what to reorder, how much, and from which vendor. Then it drafts the purchase order for you to confirm.

What it does

The weekly reorder routine, done in a conversation.

Reorder recommendations

What to order this week, how much, and why: built from each item's sales, stock on hand, open orders and lead time.

Vendor analysis

Which vendors you buy from most, how reliable their lead times are, and which orders to group to hit a minimum.

Purchasing workbook

An Excel workbook with every recommendation and the numbers behind it, so you can check line by line.

Purchase orders you confirm

Drafts a purchase order, shows it to you, and creates it in your system only after you say yes.
