Case Study: Online Plant Delivery Startup Company achieves streamlined just-in-time inventory management with Cin7 Core

How a fully customized backorder management system streamlined the supply chain process of an online plant delivery startup

The Online Plant Delivery Startup Company needed a better way to manage highly perishable plant inventory while handling nearly 1,000 orders a day across the UK. To keep stock levels low and still meet 2–3 business day delivery commitments, the company worked with Cin7 Core to support a just-in-time, backorder-based inventory model using its inventory and order management capabilities.

Cin7 Core implemented a customized backorder management process that marked sales items as backorderable, created purchase orders tied to supplier references, tracked items as in-purchase quantity, and validated due dates against customer delivery dates. This streamlined procurement and fulfillment, automatically routing purchase orders to approved suppliers and improving overall business performance by automating the full procurement cycle.
