📦 Suppliers & Purchasing

Purchase orders your vendors confirm on WhatsApp

Track suppliers, auto-draft reorders when stock runs low, and send POs on WhatsApp with a no-login link the vendor taps to confirm.

Ordering stock is guesswork and phone calls

Most cafés reorder from memory and chase suppliers by call, with no record of what was promised. ChaiPOS turns low stock into a drafted PO and a WhatsApp link — so ordering is a tap and receiving lands on the books.

How it works

Suppliers & Purchasing in three steps

1

Stock runs low

An item crosses its reorder level and a purchase order drafts itself.

2

Send on WhatsApp

The vendor gets a link to confirm or adjust quantities — no login.

3

Receive & stock-in

Mark it delivered; stock updates and the invoice reconciles.

Why it beats a paper order book

  • Reorders draft themselves from live stock
  • Vendors confirm on WhatsApp, no app
  • Receiving flows straight into inventory
