IS THIS YOU?

Who this Optiply integration is for

Optiply can tell you what to buy. It cannot tell you what is really on the shelf, what is already reserved, or what is still standing on the receiving dock.

  • You buy for a webshop or wholesale operation and want purchasing to run on rules instead of gut feel.
  • Your stock figure is a book quantity that nobody fully trusts at the moment of ordering.
  • You are either buying too much and paying for the space, or too little and losing the sale.

Optiply is the chosen purchasing software of more than 400 e-commerce companies, with the goal of creating a more durable supply chain. With the AI-based purchasing algorithm it is possible to automate up to 90% of purchase decisions while maintaining a balanced inventory. This can’t be too low, to prevent loss of revenue from out-of-stock. It can’t be too high either, as to limit the amount of invested capital.

BizBloqs enables the optimal flow and processes for receiving and sending goods from the warehouse, while Optiply ensures an optimal stock level of all products in that warehouse.

Together, we ensure an optimal efficiency of the available logistic spaces. We transform our clients to a level where they are able to compete with the giants in their industry.

COMBINING OUR BENEFITS

You may wonder how this works. BizBloqs provides Optiply with the data of sales orders, purchase orders, stock levels, suppliers and products. This is the most complete dataset to get the most out of Optiply’s AI-driven purchasing algorithm.

Repetitive actions in the purchasing process as well as the common (human) considerations for forecasting are then automated, covering up to 90% of the purchases needed.

BizBloqs has provided the customer with an optimized flow and efficiency in logistic processes. Optiply adds the dimension where you don’t needlessly occupy space in your warehouse, while still being able to fulfil customer demand at any time.

In short, the benefits of BizBloqs and Optiply’s synergic relationship are larger than the sum of its parts.

WHAT CHANGES ONCE OPTIPLY AND BIZBLOQS ARE CONNECTED

Optiply is only as good as the data it buys on. BizBloqs supplies real stock, open purchase orders, allocated quantities, suppliers and products — so purchase advice reflects the warehouse as it is today instead of the ledger as it was last week.

Purchase advice on real stock

Optiply forecasts on the stock BizBloqs actually holds, including what is reserved, blocked or still on the receiving dock, rather than on a book quantity.

Purchase orders land in the warehouse

An approved Optiply purchase order arrives in BizBloqs as an expected receipt, so the dock knows what is coming, from whom and when.

Receipts flow straight back

Scanning the goods in closes the loop: received quantities, short deliveries and backorders update the picture Optiply buys on.

Fewer stock-outs without more capital

Reorder points move with demand and lead time instead of a fixed rule, so availability goes up while the warehouse holds less.

Supplier lead times measured, not guessed

Every receipt timestamps the real lead time per supplier, so the algorithm learns who actually delivers in five days and who does not.

Up to 90% of purchase decisions automated

Repetitive reordering runs on rules. Buyers spend their time on exceptions, negotiations and new products instead of on routine lines.

This is what your Optiply setup looks like from day one

Purchasing integration

How the Optiply integration works

Optiply decides what to buy and when; BizBloqs decides where it goes and proves what is physically there. The exchange is therefore about stock positions and purchase advice, not about the full ERP document set.

Optiply — REST API, scheduled sync

API credentials from your Optiply account, scheduled push and pull

BizBloqs supplies Optiply with the data its algorithm needs: real stock per item, open purchase orders and outbound history. Optiply turns that into purchase advice and supplier orders. Because Optiply works on demand patterns, the value of the connection depends entirely on the quality of the stock position you feed it — which is exactly what a WMS with location-level control provides.

What you need

  • An Optiply account with API credentials
  • Supplier data and lead times maintained in Optiply
  • Agreement on where purchase orders are ultimately booked (ERP or Optiply)
  • A reliable, counted opening stock position in BizBloqs

Which messages are exchanged

This is a stock and demand exchange, running on a schedule rather than per transaction.

Whether purchase orders come from Optiply or from your ERP is a deliberate choice; only one system should be the origin.

This is our standard integration. An empty field means that message is not exchanged in that direction by default. Integrations can be modified or extended customer-specific through workflows.

How we roll it out

  1. 1. Stock hygiene

    Optiply is only as good as the stock it sees, so we start from a counted, location-level stock position in BizBloqs.

  2. 2. Connection

    API credentials are exchanged and the first stock and history sync is validated against your own numbers.

  3. 3. Supplier setup

    Lead times, minimum order quantities and supplier terms are maintained in Optiply.

  4. 4. Advice review

    The first rounds of purchase advice are reviewed by hand before anything is ordered automatically.

  5. 5. Go-live

    Advice, ordering and receipt confirmation run as a closed loop.

Does your process fit this message set?

This is our standard Optiply integration. If you need messages that are not in the table, send us your list — we tailor integrations per customer through workflows and will tell you upfront what is standard and what is custom.

Integration FAQ

Does Optiply replace purchasing in our ERP?

Not necessarily. Optiply generates the advice; where the purchase order is formally booked is a choice you make during setup. Only one system should be the origin of the order.

How often does stock sync?

On a schedule. Purchase advice is a planning process, so a scheduled sync is appropriate — unlike a shipping label, which is per transaction.

Why involve the WMS at all?

Because ERP stock and physical stock are rarely the same number. Optiply that runs on WMS stock is ordering against reality.

What happens with backorders?

Shortages that block outbound are visible in BizBloqs and can be shared with Optiply so they weigh into the next advice round.

Do we need clean supplier data?

Yes. Lead times and minimum order quantities live in Optiply and directly drive the advice quality.

Can we start with advice only?

Yes, and we recommend it. Review the advice manually for a few rounds before letting anything order automatically.

In addition to a scan procedure with EDI integration, BizBloqs has set up an entire production system for us. Production planning can provide direct instructions and as soon as they are ready, it all arrives in the OMS. This gives us a larger production capacity and a drastic reduction of the picking mistakes in dispatching.
