Stock alerts driven by the order pipeline, not the calendar.
The confirmed order pipeline knows what material is about to be cut and when. Bmfurn watches that pipeline against current stock and vendor lead times - and flags reorder needs before a piece hits the cutting stage without the wood on the floor.
Alerts raised from the confirmed pipeline
Pipeline-aware stock forecasting
Upcoming orders convert into forecast material demand by species, grade and finish - so you see what you'll need this month, not what you needed last month.
Reorder alerts on the right day
When forecast demand meets current stock and vendor lead time, an alert is raised early enough to place the order and receive it before the cut date.
Preferred vendor memory
The vendors you actually buy from are remembered by material - with historical lead time, last-received price, and any quality notes attached.
Purchase order records
Every reorder creates a PO record linked to the source alert and the orders that drove it - so it's clear later why a purchase was made.
Delivery vs. cut-date reconciliation
When a vendor's promised delivery slips, the orders whose cut dates depend on that material are flagged automatically for reschedule review.
Historical rate ledger
Actual per-unit rates from historical POs feed the estimator, so quotes track the workshop's real cost, not a stale table.
Vendor lead times and rates are seeded from your workshop's actual PO history where it exists, and set manually at onboarding where it doesn't. The system gets more accurate as the ledger fills, not less.
