Supply chain

Supplier ordering automation

Stop ordering at 5am. Calso tracks what you use, anticipates what you'll need, and places orders directly with your suppliers — via phone, email or portal. Invoices reconcile themselves.

Ordering is a $30k/year admin job.

Owners spend 6–10 hours a week on supplier calls, POs and invoice reconciliation.
Stock-outs cost service, over-ordering ties up cash and creates waste.
Nobody has time to negotiate — so prices drift upward 4–6% a year.
Invoice line-item discrepancies slip through because reconciliation happens at month-end, if at all.

The Calso solution

Hands off the phone, hands off the PO pad.

Calso reads your POS to understand what you're actually using, forecasts what you'll need, and places orders with your suppliers the way you currently order — phone calls, emails, portals. It negotiates renewals against market rates, chases late deliveries, and reconciles every invoice to the original PO automatically.

Usage-based ordering

Calso knows you sell 200kg of oat milk a week and orders accordingly. No more 5am stock checks.

Calls suppliers in your voice

Supplier prefers the phone? Calso calls them, reads the PO, confirms pricing, gets a delivery window.

Auto invoice reconciliation

Every invoice is matched line-by-line to the original PO. Discrepancies flagged within minutes, not months.

Quiet price negotiation

At every renewal cycle, Calso runs a market check and negotiates — conservatively, in your name — to keep pricing honest.

Common questions

Does it work with suppliers who don't have APIs?+

Yes — most Australian hospitality suppliers still work on phone and email. Calso is built for that reality. It calls, emails, or logs into supplier portals as needed.

Can I veto an order?+

Always. Calso starts in 'suggest' mode (you approve everything), earns autonomy as it proves itself, and never takes irreversible actions without approval.

How does it negotiate?+

It references your volume history, current market rates (from our supplier benchmark data), and your relationship length. It's firm, polite, and never aggressive — it represents you.
