A central warehouse inventory monitoring module (108) maintains real-time inventory levels and supplier-specific parameters. An automated replenishment module (110) dynamically computes reorder points and automatically generates supplier purchase orders based on forecasted demand, inventory levels, and supplier lead times. An electronic supplier communication interface (112) transmits the purchase orders to external supplier systems. An order fulfilment and delivery management module (114) manages warehouse dispatch, delivery execution, and confirmation. The invention mitigates stock-outs, reduces inventory costs, and enables a proactive, data-driven B2B supply chain."
