What stores need determines what gets bought
Every purchase order originates from the store-level replenishment plan. The system aggregates the real needs of all stores and consolidates them into supplier-level orders — respecting order cycles, minimum quantities, and lead times. Purchasing is a direct consequence of demand, not a separate decision.

The right timing for every order
Celes calculates not just what to buy, but when to buy it. Each order is scheduled based on the supplier calendar, DC capacity, and coverage objectives — balancing product availability against inventory investment.
From calculation to supplier, with no manual steps
Purchase orders are transmitted directly to the retailer's ERP, EDI, or WMS. Supplier → DC → Store or Supplier → Store, depending on the distribution model. No manual entry. No rework.

Celes Autopilot takes this further.
Purchase orders are generated and transmitted autonomously. Leadership defines the financial objectives and supplier priorities. AI operates within those rules.
