Know which workshop stopped reordering its consumables.

Abrasives, fasteners and gloves are reordered on a steady beat by the people on the floor. When the beat stops, purchasing has often moved the line to a framework contract. Signal Base flags it in the week it happens.

What normal looks like

every one to three weeks

A metal workshop orders discs and gloves every week, a factory maintenance team every fortnight, a construction firm per project. The hub learns the regular accounts and keeps the project ones from crying wolf.

The four signals, in your trade

One line per customer on the call list, with the strongest reason. This is how they read for manufacturers, metalworkers and maintenance teams.

  1. Past its own rhythmOn the list: Orders every 2 weeks. Last one 6 weeks ago.

    The customer usually orders every three weeks and it has been five. The hub compares each customer with their own habit, not with a fixed number of days, and only lists the ones worth the call.

    What you say: “We haven’t had your fortnightly order since August. Has purchasing moved it?”

  2. Smaller ordersOn the list: Same rhythm, 45% less per order.

    They still order on time, but structurally less per order. Often it means another supplier now gets part of the list.

    What you say: “Your orders got smaller. Is one of the production lines down?”

  3. A product drops outOn the list: Abrasives off the order for 7 weeks.

    One product or a whole category has stopped showing up on otherwise normal orders. That is a cross-sell conversation, not a rescue.

    What you say: “You stopped ordering discs from us. Can I bring the new range for a trial?”

  4. New customerOn the list: First order 9 days ago.

    The first order just went out. A call in the first two weeks is when a one-off becomes a regular.

    What you say: “How did the first delivery go? Shall I set up a fixed weekly order?”

What else it watches for you

    One line per customer with the strongest reason, and the customer card behind it: what they buy, when they order, their price agreements and their open invoices.

  2. Supplier invoices that don’t match

    Supplier invoices read from PDF, matched to your items, and checked against the agreed purchase price.

Summer shutdowns and year-end maintenance stops move the curve. Each account is measured against its own year.
