Problem
Restaurant groups, bakeries and food kiosks often rely on manual forecasts, spreadsheet‑based inventory tracking and disconnected ERP systems, leading to inaccurate ordering, excess waste, and uncontrolled food‑cost margins.
Solution
Inpulse offers an all‑in‑one AI‑driven platform that centralises sales forecasting, procurement, inventory, production planning, technical data‑sheet management and invoice verification. The system ingests point‑of‑sale, weather, event and historical sales data to generate up‑to‑95 % accurate demand forecasts, which automatically translate into optimal purchase orders and production schedules. Real‑time stock updates, barcode‑enabled inventory counts and AI‑checked supplier invoices reduce losses and prevent over‑payments. Managers and franchisees access unified dashboards and mobile apps to monitor margins, adjust recipes, and generate reports, enabling rapid network expansion while keeping food‑costs under control.
Target Audience
