Every night, Stokk asks Claude to evaluate every supplier in your catalogue. The output of that pass becomes the Morning Brief: a prioritised list of who to order from today, with reasoning.
This is what makes the suggestion more than a reorder formula. STOKK reviews each SKU one by one — your stock split across stores and warehouse, the sales trend, your SIF notes, upcoming events — and decides the final STOKK Suggestion for every line.
The most common call: an item looks low at the warehouse, but the storesalready hold plenty — so STOKK declines to reorder, and you don't tie up cash in stock the chain doesn't need. STOKK also acts on your SIF notes, sizes up for upcoming events, and respects pack sizes and minimum order quantities.
It also plans around closures. If a supplier's order schedule has a blackout — say they shut for August — the order in the cycle before is automatically sized to carry through the gap, and STOKK says so ("closed all August, so this run covers about two cycles").
For each supplier the brief shows an urgency, the order value next to what a plain reorder would have cost (so you can see what STOKK trimmed), and a written rationale:
Every line STOKK changed is listed with the original quantity, STOKK's quantity, the store cover, and a one-line reason. A few lines worth your judgment are surfaced under Needs you, and STOKK can propose new facts to add to the supplier's SIF.
The pass runs on a schedule operated by your Stokk team rather than always-on in the background. Each run checks every supplier cheaply, but only writes a fresh brief for the ones that need a decision: a supplier is due when its next order date — from its order schedule— falls within its lead time, or when stock actually needs ordering. Ad-hoc (no fixed schedule) suppliers surface whenever there's something to buy.
When a supplier is reviewed and there's nothing to order, Stokk sets a next-review dateand quietly skips it on later runs until then — so the brief stays focused on what needs you, and the same suppliers aren't re-examined every day. An urgent stockout always overrides that and pulls the supplier back in early. If a brief's review date passes before you act on it, it's tagged Stale — re-run so you know to refresh it.
The suggestion is a starting point. From the Morning Brief, Review & order opens the composer pre-filled with STOKK's quantities, which you can edit before submitting. Dismissed and submitted briefs are logged so you can audit later.
