MOBILE FORECASTING OF SALES USING CUSTOMER STOCK LEVELS IN A SUPPLIER BUSINESS SYSTEM

1 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:

selecting an account for a purchaser in a graphical user interface (GUI);

entering, using the GUI in an inventory mode, a current stock level for a product associated with the selected account;

presenting calculated information associated with the product, the calculated information including a suggested replenishment quantity for the product, the calculation of the suggested replenishment quantity taking into account an interval between visits to the purchaser by a supplier and a comparison of a shipping duration to the interval;

exiting the inventory mode in the GUI;

generating, by operation of a computer, replenishment sales order data; and

creating a replenishment sales order for the product.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising requesting initial information associated with the selected purchaser account from a data source.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , further comprising creating a connection with the data source to request the initial information.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising retrieving a last sales order for the product.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising calculating an average sales volume for the product.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising calculating a suggested replenishment quantity for the product.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the calculated information further includes an average sales volume for the product.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that the suggested replenishment quantity is not acceptable; and

overriding the suggested replenishment quantity.

9 . A computer-program product, the computer program product comprising computer-readable instructions embodied on tangible, non-transitory media, the instructions operable when executed to perform operations to:

select an account for a purchaser in a graphical user interface (GUI);

enter, using the GUI in an inventory mode, a current stock level for a product associated with the selected account;

present calculated information associated with the product, the calculated information including a suggested replenishment quantity for the product, the calculation of the suggested replenishment quantity taking into account an interval between visits to the purchaser by a supplier and a comparison of a shipping duration to the interval;

exit the inventory mode in the GUI;

generate replenishment sales order data; and

create a replenishment sales order for the product.

10 . The computer-program product of claim 9 , further comprising instructions operable to request initial information associated with the selected purchaser account from a data source.

11 . The computer-program product of claim 10 , further comprising instructions operable to create a connection with the data source to request the initial information.

12 . The computer-program product of claim 9 , further comprising instructions operable to retrieve a last sales order for the product.

13 . The computer-program product of claim 9 , further comprising instructions operable to calculate an average sales volume for the product.

14 . The computer-program product of claim 9 , further comprising instructions operable to calculate a suggested replenishment quantity for the product.

15 . The computer-program product of claim 9 , wherein the calculated information further includes an average sales volume for the product.

16 . The computer-program product of claim 9 , further comprising instructions operable to:

determine that the suggested replenishment quantity is not acceptable; and

override the suggested replenishment quantity.

17 . A system, comprising:

memory configured to store at least one account; and

at least one hardware processor interoperably coupled to the memory and configured to:

select an account of the at least one account for a purchaser in a graphical user interface (GUI);

enter, using the GUI in an inventory mode, a current stock level for a product associated with the selected account;

present calculated information associated with the product, the calculated information including a suggested replenishment quantity for the product, the calculation of the suggested replenishment quantity taking into account an interval between visits to the purchaser by a supplier and a comparison of a shipping duration to the interval;

exit the inventory mode in the GUI;

generate replenishment sales order data; and

create a replenishment sales order for the product.

18 . The system of claim 17 , further configured to request initial information associated with the selected purchaser account from a data source.

19 . The system of claim 18 , further configured to create a connection with the data source to request the initial information.

20 . The system of claim 17 , further configured to retrieve a last sales order for the product.

21 . The system of claim 17 , further configured to calculate an average sales volume for the product.

22 . The system of claim 17 , further configured to calculate a suggested replenishment quantity for the product.

23 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the calculated information further includes an average sales volume for the product.

24 . The system of claim 17 , further configured to:

determine that the suggested replenishment quantity is not acceptable; and

override the suggested replenishment quantity.
