What Orderly does

Orderly is a UK-headquartered enterprise SaaS company that has, since 2008, built decision and execution software for food, beverage, convenience, and retail supply chains. The platform is structured around two core modules: Orderly for Stores, which provides multi-site operators with predictive stock management, automated ordering, day-part forecasting, task planning, and compliance checks; and Orderly for Distributors, a B2B commerce and order management platform that enables branded ordering portals, workflow management, and compliance automation across distribution networks. An integrated AI layer, anchored by the July 2025 launch of Agentic AI for Inventory, enables autonomous stock checks, live order adjustments, waste pattern detection, and AI-driven task routing without requiring additional in-store devices.

Under the hood, Orderly applies machine learning models trained on internal sales data and external signals (weather, footfall, local events, demographics) to produce store-level forecasts at 6.2% MAPE accuracy. The system turns forecasts into suggested orders, labor tasks, and compliance actions, supported by real-time data synchronization across stores, distributors, and supply chain partners, with optional flat-file and SFTP integration for legacy systems.

Orderly monetizes through enterprise SaaS subscriptions billed annually with volume discounts and supplements revenue with implementation and professional services engagements. The company sells exclusively through direct enterprise sales and a referral network, targeting multi-site restaurant chains, convenience and retail operators, distributors and wholesalers, and head-office/field management teams in 70+ countries. The customer base includes Starbucks, EG Group (130+ stores), Alsea, and OCO Westend, with reported outcomes including 18% average profit lift, 16% food waste reduction, and >300% ROI on SaaS fees within three months. Orderly Limited is privately held, certified as a B Corporation, ISO 27001 certified, and operates from Derby, United Kingdom.
