Can it tell us when to reorder?

It tracks actual supplier lead time and demand and flags lines approaching their reorder point, with the cash and stockout consequences of acting early or late - so reorder timing is a decision on numbers, not a habit.

How does it handle MOQ trade-offs?

It weighs the minimum order quantity against the cash it ties up and the stockout risk of not ordering, and gives you the real landed cost of restocking a line, so a big MOQ is a conscious choice rather than a default.

Does it help with allocation?

Yes. When stock is scarce it proposes an allocation across channels and customers weighted by margin and strategic value, so the limited units earn the most rather than going to whoever ordered first.

Supply chain

Balance lead time, cash and stockouts

Supplier lead time, MOQ vs cash tie-up, OTIF, allocation and cross-border flow.

Supply chain is a constant trade-off between lead time, cash tied up in stock, and the risk of stocking out the wrong line. CDO Agent tracks supplier lead time and OTIF, weighs MOQ against cash tie-up, and allocates scarce stock across channels by margin - so the trade-offs are made on numbers, with the cash and service consequences visible before you commit.

The problem

What slows this down

Supplier lead times and OTIF live in people’s heads, so reorder timing is guesswork and stockouts surprise everyone.

Minimum order quantities force cash into stock that sits, while fast lines run short.

Scarce stock is allocated across channels and customers by gut, not by margin.

Cross-border flows add VAT, duty and lead-time complexity that the reorder plan ignores.

What you get

What the agent does here

Lead time and OTIF

Supplier lead-time and on-time-in-full performance tracked from your data, so reorder timing reflects how suppliers actually deliver, not the agreed lead time on paper.

MOQ vs cash tie-up

The real cost of a minimum order quantity weighed against cash tied up and stockout risk, so you can see what restocking a line actually costs before you place the order.

Margin-aware allocation

Scarce stock allocated across channels and customers by margin and strategic value, so the limited units go where they earn most rather than to whoever shouts loudest.
