Your warehouse runs on materials that nobody tracks until they run out.
Logistics providers are under pressure to do more with less, while operational consumables go untracked until they run out. Kanban.Now automates replenishment of consumables, indirect materials, and packaging supplies across every facility, so your operations team runs a predictable supply cycle instead of firefighting shortages.
Operational consumables are nobody's priority until the line stops.
Stretch film, strapping, labels, gloves, cleaning agents, printer consumables, and packaging materials are consumed continuously across every shift, but managed reactively, ordered too late, and tracked in spreadsheets nobody updates consistently.
Labor shortages leave fewer people available to manage manual replenishment.
Smaller logistics providers struggle to keep pace with larger peers due to the high cost of automation, and the pressure to do more with fewer people is intensifying across the entire sector. Manual stock counts and replenishment walks are the first processes to break down when headcount is tight.
Multi-site operations create replenishment blind spots that central teams cannot see.
When each warehouse location manages its own stock independently, there is no consolidated view of what is running low, what has been ordered, and what is already on its way. That invisibility leads to both stockouts and overstock at different sites simultaneously.
Automated replenishment for every consumable and indirect material in your facility.
Stretch film, labels, strapping, PPE, cleaning materials, and packaging supplies are monitored continuously by IoT sensors or the Kanban.Now app and reordered automatically the moment stock reaches its threshold, with no manual checks and no missed reorders.
One dashboard across every site, shift, and supplier.
Manage stock levels, open replenishment orders, and supplier relationships for every location in your network from a single real-time view, so your central team always knows what is happening on the ground without making a phone call.
ERP-connected ordering with full audit trail.
Purchase requests and supplier orders are generated automatically and transferred to your ERP without manual data entry, with every transaction logged with time, location, article, and quantity for full operational transparency.
VMI and consignment programs for your key suppliers, run automatically
Kanban.Now gives your suppliers real-time visibility into your consumption and triggers replenishment automatically via EDI, so your Konsignationslager programs run without manual reconciliation and your operational materials are always available before you need to ask for them.
