The Procurement Service automates ingredient purchasing by analyzing production schedules, inventory levels, and demand forecasts to generate optimized purchase orders. It prevents stockouts while minimizing excess inventory, manages supplier relationships with automated purchase order generation, and tracks delivery performance. This service is critical for maintaining optimal stock levels and ensuring continuous production operations.

Problem Statement

Spanish bakeries struggle with:

Manual ordering leading to stockouts or overstock
No visibility into future ingredient needs
Reactive procurement (order when empty, too late)
No systematic supplier performance tracking
Manual price comparison across suppliers
Excess inventory tying up cash

Solution

Bakery-IA Procurement Service provides:

Automated Planning: System calculates what and when to order
Stockout Prevention: 85-95% reduction in production delays
Cost Optimization: Supplier recommendations based on data
Inventory Optimization: 20-30% less inventory with same service
Supplier Management: Performance tracking and leverage

Quantifiable Impact

Cost Savings:

€200-400/month from optimized ordering (5-15% procurement savings)
€100-300/month from reduced excess inventory
€150-500/month from stockout prevention (lost production)
Total: €450-1,200/month savings

Time Savings:

8-12 hours/week on manual ordering and tracking
2-3 hours/week on supplier communication
1-2 hours/week on inventory checks
Total: 11-17 hours/week saved

Operational Improvements:

85-95% stockout prevention rate
20-30% inventory reduction
15-25% supplier delivery improvement
10-20% less spoilage from overstock

Target Market Fit (Spanish Bakeries)

Cash Flow Sensitive: Spanish SMBs need optimal inventory investment
Supplier Relationships: Data enables better supplier negotiations
Regulatory: Proper PO documentation for Spanish tax compliance
Growth: Automation enables scaling without procurement staff

ROI Calculation

Investment: €0 additional (included in platform subscription) Monthly Savings: €450-1,200 Annual ROI: €5,400-14,400 value per bakery Payback: Immediate (included in subscription)
