What is Skorbi?

It tells buyers what to do next

Skorbi is a procurement intelligence platform designed specifically for distributors and retailers. By continuously analyzing sales, inventory, purchasing, and supplier data, it generates prioritized procurement recommendations that help buyers focus on the actions that matter most.

Rather than simply reporting inventory levels, Skorbi recommends what should be purchased, when it should be purchased, and why.

Major features

Built for the way buyers actually work

Every feature below exists because a buyer somewhere was doing it by hand, in a spreadsheet, at seven in the morning.

Start the day

A ranked queue, not another report

Open Skorbi and the day's work is already sorted. No running a report, exporting it, and deciding what to look at first — the platform has done that overnight.

Decide

Every recommendation shows its reasoning

Quantity, timing, and the evidence behind both. A buyer can agree, adjust, or override, and knows what they're overriding.

Trust

It tells you when it doesn't know

Items with too little history say so rather than producing a confident number from nothing. A recommendation you can rely on is worth more than a recommendation on every line.

Negotiate

Supplier terms at the moment of decision

Minimum order quantities, volume breaks, and free freight thresholds surfaced from the actual agreements — not from memory, and not from whoever has been here longest.

Consolidate

Group the order before it goes out

Lines destined for the same supplier are grouped so the order clears freight and discount thresholds instead of missing them by a few hundred dollars.

Protect margin

Cost and sell price on the same screen

Margin is visible where the purchasing decision happens, so buying activity doesn't quietly erode it one line at a time.

Look wider

Stock across every location

See what is already sitting in another branch before raising a purchase order, and surface the transfers worth making.

Clean up

Dead and discontinued stock, named

Identify what to liquidate, retire, or simply stop reordering — the inventory decisions that never make it onto anyone's list.

Stay accountable

Requests from the floor in one queue

Store managers and sales teams submit through the same workflow, with assignment, approval, and an audit trail behind every order.

Procurement intelligence engine

Connected to the systems you already run

Skorbi integrates with point-of-sale and inventory management systems, then continuously evaluates inventory performance against your business priorities.

What it reads

  • Sales history
  • Inventory levels
  • Purchase orders
  • Supplier information
  • Product master data
  • Historical demand patterns
Prioritization

Not every item deserves the same attention

A buyer responsible for twenty thousand active lines cannot review them all, and shouldn't try. Skorbi weighs every item against two questions — how much it matters to the business, and how predictable its demand is — then spends the buyer's attention accordingly.

Items that are valuable and steady can largely run themselves. Items that are valuable and erratic are where a buyer's judgment earns its keep. Items that are neither rarely justify a decision at all.

What the platform weighs

  • Business impact — what the line contributes and what it ties up
  • Demand predictability — how reliably past demand indicates future demand
  • Cover against lead time — whether stock on hand and on order lasts long enough
  • Data sufficiency — whether there is enough history to support a recommendation at all

The scoring model itself is ours. What a buyer sees is the conclusion and the reasons behind it — which is the part that matters at eight in the morning with a purchase order to raise.

Procurement action dashboard

Recommendations arrive already sorted

Skorbi organizes everything it finds into priority tiers, so a buyer opening the dashboard knows where the morning goes.

Code Red

Critical procurement actions requiring immediate attention.

Orange

High-priority purchasing opportunities requiring timely action.

Yellow

Lower-priority opportunities supporting ongoing inventory optimization.

All items

Complete visibility across all procurement recommendations.

Project items

Items associated with active projects and customer commitments.

Discontinued items

Inventory identified for liquidation or retirement.

Workflow management

The whole procurement lifecycle, on the record

Requests, assignment, approval, and status tracking live in one place, so there is accountability and visibility from the first request to the closed order.

  • Procurement requests
  • Store manager requests
  • Sales team requests
  • Buyer assignment
  • Approval workflows
  • Status tracking
  • Audit trails
AI-assisted procurement

Powered by NeuRAG™

Skorbi uses NeuRAG to read the supplier agreements and purchasing policies buyers can never keep in their heads, and to answer with the clause it came from.
