What it is

Inpulse is an operations and margin-management platform for restaurant groups and other foodservice businesses operating across multiple sites. It combines forecasts, purchasing, inventory, production, and invoice checking. Forecasts use sales history, seasonality, weather, sporting events, religious holidays, strikes, and promotions. Ordering recommendations consider projected raw-material use and revenue, stock levels, and supplier conditions. Teams can perform collaborative mobile stocktaking offline, scan barcodes, and transfer stock. Production planning uses hourly forecasts by product and sales channel for bakeries, food kiosks, supermarkets, and central kitchens. AI reviews delivery notes, invoices, and credit notes for price or quantity discrepancies. The API-first service connects with more than 40 POS, aggregator, HR, and accounting systems and supports EDI with major suppliers. It runs on Android, iOS, web, and API. Pricing is on request, with no free plan. Data is hosted on European servers, encrypted, and backed up daily.
