Upgrade your existing ordering engine with Afresh’s grocery-specific intelligence
Replenishment API is a backend solution that lets you plug Afresh's inventory, forecasting, and ordering logic into you existing frontend.
An order is only as profitable as the logic behind it. Most systems write orders based on point forecasts and static safety stock—rules that break in variable environments like fresh departments—so orders are often inaccurate or manually overridden.
Replenishment API runs on the same decision engine as Afresh's flagship Store Ordering to generate order recommendations that account for shifting demand, perishability, promotions, and inventory to maximize profitability.
Full store coverage: Pre-populates orders for every item on the order guide via API.
Fresh-specific modeling: Handles prepared foods, meat primals, ingredients, random-weight items, and bulk produce.
New item ordering: Forecasts demand and orders for new SKUs without chainwide or store history by learning from similar products.
Promo forecasting: Accounts for tiered price points and understands promotion lifecycles so recommendations hold up through the whole promo.
Backup orders: Delivers a fallback order file automatically, so retailers don't need to build or maintain a separate backup system.
Perpetual inventory drifts quickly, making it hard for stores to trust it — particularly in fresh. Stores over-order to protect against stockouts, which shows up as shrink.
Afresh’s Intelligent Inventory learns continuously from shipments, sales, scan-outs, and targeted inputs, so recommendations reflect what's actually on hand.
Because the integration is a backend API connection, none of the in-store workflows change for associates.
No new devices: Works with stores’ existing hardware and applications, so there’s no additional hardware cost and your device strategy stay intact.
No associate retraining: Keeps associate workflows exactly as they are today, so there's nothing new to learn on the floor.
No parallel app rollout: Limits the change management, communications, and support burden of launching a second ordering tool alongside the existing one.
Phased deployment: Rolls out by category, region, or store group, so you can sequence the work around other priorities.
