Nory helps you plan labour better, control stock, and make faster decisions during busy shifts.


We start with Nory core flows that need to be completed regularly by users and progress to more advanced topics through the article. This guide is intended to be followed in chronological order from top to bottom.

How to place and order

Nory's AI drives our demand based ordering, this is a great way to reduce the volume of orders and minimise waste while also ensuring correct supply to meet the demand and not cap your revenue.

For all stock lines Nory predicts you need to order, we will display a pop up under this item with the necessary volume.

*Please note that accurate demand based ordering depends on the quality of your stock counts and forecast.

For suppliers that do not accept email orders and you still need to place them through their dedicated portal, it's still a good idea to place this order through Nory in parallel. This is a good practice to communicate with your colleagues and let them know the order has been placed.

How to accept orders

Most frequent order statuses you need to know:

  • Draft - order started but not sent to the supplier yet

  • Requested - order sent to supplier, not received yet

  • Scan in review - we didn't match all items in your picture, this is being reviewed by our team

  • Scan processed - order ready to be received

  • Completed - order received, no further action needed

For supplier your don't place orders for, you still need to receive them to tell Nory what you have in stock to keep accurate records. In this case you can utilise "Receive without order" option on the Orders page. You can still scan the invoice in the same way and utilise Nory's AI to process it.
