Inpulse provides multi-site restaurant groups and other foodservice businesses with tools for managing operations and margins. It combines forecasting with ordering recommendations, inventory management, production planning, and invoice checks. Forecasts draw on sales history, seasonality, weather, sporting events, holidays, strikes, and promotions. Order recommendations also account for stock and supplier conditions. Teams can carry out collaborative mobile stocktaking offline, scan barcodes, and transfer stock. Production planning uses hourly forecasts by product and channel for bakeries, food kiosks, supermarkets, and central kitchens. AI checks delivery notes, invoices, and credit notes for price or quantity discrepancies. Inpulse says its API-first platform connects to over 40 POS, aggregator, HR, and accounting solutions and supports EDI links to major suppliers. Customer data is hosted on European servers, encrypted, and backed up daily, with backups retained for six months. Email and chat support are available weekdays from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm; a self-service chatbot is available 24/7. Pricing is on request, and there is no free plan.
