Most webshop systems stop at the sale. Kaduno Purchasing handles the buying side.
Overselling, empty shelves and too much capital tied up in the wrong items — that's the cost of managing purchasing on gut feel and spreadsheets. Kaduno Purchasing connects suppliers, purchase orders and stock levels to your sales history and calculates when and what you should order.
02 // What you get
What you get
Supplier management
Centralise all your suppliers with contact details, payment terms, lead times and linked products — one place, not scattered across inboxes.
Purchase orders
Create, approve and send purchase orders directly from the system. Receipts are booked against the order and stock is updated automatically in Kaduno Warehouse.
Receiving & quality checks
Log incoming deliveries, handle quantity variances and quality checks — and tie every discrepancy back to the specific order line.
Landed cost
Add freight, duty and other ancillary costs to the purchase order. Kaduno Finance gets the correct margin basis without manual recalculation.
Supplier invoices
Match incoming invoices against purchase orders and receipts. Variances are flagged for approval; correct invoices flow on to Kaduno Finance.
Supplier returns
Manage the return process for quality rejects or misdelveries — with full traceability back to the original order.
Replenishment & reorder suggestions
The system calculates suggested order quantities based on forecasts, safety stock and lead time — grouped per supplier so you can approve and send one order.

7-model demand forecasting
Naive, simple exponential smoothing, Holt-Winters, Croston, Theta, ETS and ensemble — the system selects the best model per SKU via time-series cross-validation. Quantile forecasts (P50/P80/P90) for safety-stock decisions.
AI restock narratives
Every reorder suggestion comes with an explanatory narrative: which forecast model won, what is driving the estimate, and why the suggested quantity was calculated as it is.
AI reorder suggestions
The forecast is converted into concrete reorder suggestions grouped per supplier — automatically accounting for safety stock, lead time and minimum order quantities.
Supplier scorecards
Automatically computed KPIs per supplier: on-time delivery, quantity accuracy, invoice match rate and return rate — so you see who is reliable and who is a problem.
