Session commerce & supply planning

Order Window organizes selling into sessions on fixed time windows, instead of always-on, unlimited selling. Demand Plan forecasts demand from the real session sales history, and Supply Plan turns that forecast into a concrete inbound plan that feeds straight into purchase order proposals — no more running out mid-session, and no leftovers once it closes.

Session order list interface

Businesses selling fresh produce or seasonal goods — in morning and afternoon runs, or by harvest cycle — usually struggle to estimate how much to bring in for each selling session. Running out mid-session, or being left with unsold stock, is routine, because nothing connects "how much we sold last session" with "how much we should bring in next time".

Session selling and supply planning are connected in one system — demand is forecast from the actual session sales history, and the supply plan flows straight out of that forecast.

Core capabilities

Session selling and supply planning live in the same system — not two disconnected tools.

Session selling (Order Window)

Organize selling into sessions or fixed time windows, instead of always-on, unlimited selling.

Demand forecasting (Demand Plan)

Forecast demand from the real session sales history already recorded in the system.

Supply planning (Supply Plan)

Turn the demand forecast into a concrete inbound plan for each selling session or cycle.

A direct link into Purchasing

The supply plan generates purchase order proposals directly — nothing re-entered by hand.

Feature details

From opening a selling session to the supply plan and the purchase proposal — all in one system.

Session selling (Order Window)

Organize selling into defined time windows or runs, instead of an always-open, unlimited storefront.

  • Open and close selling sessions on fixed time windows or runs
  • Track the number of orders placed within each session in real time
  • Each session is its own selling cycle, with data kept separate for analysis

Demand forecasting (Demand Plan)

No guesswork — demand is forecast from real sales data from previous sessions.

  • Compute demand from the session sales history recorded in the system
  • No relying on gut feel or personal experience as the only basis
  • The forecast demand is the direct input to the supply planning step

Supply planning (Supply Plan)

Turn the demand forecast into a concrete inbound plan, instead of a disconnected spreadsheet.

  • Plan inbound goods per selling session or cycle, based on the demand forecast
  • The supply plan reflects the actual demand coming out of Demand Plan
  • It is the bridge between demand forecasting and purchasing activity

A direct connection into Purchasing

The supply plan generates purchase order proposals directly — nothing re-entered by hand.

  • The supply plan produces purchase order proposals natively in the system
  • The whole chain from session selling to purchase proposal sits in one system
  • Fewer manual entry steps, and less drift between the forecast and the actual purchase order

From session selling to a purchase proposal

One closed loop: open the session → record the orders → analyze demand → build the supply plan → create the purchase proposal.

01

Open the selling session

Open a session by time window or run — setting when order intake starts and ends.

02

Record orders within the session

Orders placed during the session are recorded and rolled up in real time.

03

Analyze demand

Demand Plan analyzes demand from the sales history of previous sessions.

04

Build the supply plan

Supply Plan turns the demand forecast into a concrete inbound plan.

05

Create the purchase proposal

The supply plan generates a purchase order proposal to send to the supplier.

Where it applies

Session selling and supply planning suit business models with selling cycles and a supply that has to be planned ahead.

01

Fresh produce and agricultural goods sold in morning and afternoon runs

Each morning or afternoon session is its own selling run — you need the right inbound quantity so you neither run out mid-session nor sit on leftovers once it closes.

02

Seasonal suppliers and distributors

Inbound plans have to be set weeks ahead from real selling trends across each season, rather than estimated from experience.

03

Businesses selling in limited batches or drops

Each drop carries only a set quantity — a supply plan closely matched to real demand keeps you from holding excess stock once the session ends.

What makes Oviro's supply planning different

Many businesses plan inbound goods in a spreadsheet that sits apart from the sales system, forecasting on instinct or personal experience. Oviro connects demand forecasting directly to real session sales data in the same system, so the supply plan and the purchase proposals stay close to actual demand rather than guesswork.

Never run out mid-session, never left with leftovers once it closes

From session selling through demand forecasting to the supply plan — a closed loop in one system, so every purchase proposal tracks real demand.
