Tether AI sizes each order to your minimums and lead times, then drafts the POs to approve.
Tether AI ✨ drafts the work and shows every step - nothing changes until you approve. And it's one part of Tether, the operations system that keeps your planning, inventory, and orders in sync.
See how Tether AI worksRoute every order to the right supplier
- Draft each PO to your fastest, cheapest, or most reliable supplier.
- Keep multiple suppliers per product without losing track of who delivers what.
- Split orders across suppliers by your own rules.
- Track on-time delivery and quality so sourcing sharpens over time.
Reorder on lead times you can trust
- Base every reorder on what suppliers have actually delivered, not guesswork.
- Track production and shipping time separately, so each estimate holds up.
- When a shipment slips, your forecast updates on its own.
- Spot trends in past lead times and set expectations you can keep.
Hit supplier minimums without overstocking
- Meet every MOQ without overstocking to get there.
- Respect batch sizes and the pallet counts your warehouse needs.
- Plan around supplier holidays so a closure never catches you off guard.
- Build in packaging rules so orders arrive ready for your warehouse.
Know what to buy before you run short
- Draft raw-material orders straight from finished-product demand.
- See instantly which products are hit when a component runs low or its cost moves.
- Model a price increase before it lands and adjust sourcing or margins in time.
- Define each BOM at the level you build: product, attribute, or variant.
See the true cost to put a product on the shelf
- See the full landed cost of every product, so margins reflect reality.
- Capture every cost beyond materials: freight, packaging, bundling, and overhead.
- Forecast cost per unit alongside demand, kept fresh from your live BOM data.
