Magnolia Coffee and Space — Better control over procurement

Connect material requests, purchasing, and goods received so the café team can work from shared records.

Case study cover for Magnolia Coffee and Space — Better control over procurement

Business context

For Magnolia Coffee and Space, material availability and clear purchasing records support café service and event operations. We centralised procurement so operations, warehouse staff, and administrators can follow each request through to delivery.

The Challenge

Where work was getting stuck

Paper records made material needs, supplier orders, and stock positions difficult to trace across the team. Staff had to gather information to establish what had been ordered, who was handling it, and which deliveries were outstanding. Purchasing decisions depended on manual coordination.

Our Approach

The priorities we addressed

We mapped the workflow with the team, from requesting materials to checking incoming goods. Each stage received a clear owner and status. This became the basis of a system designed around the café’s everyday work.

Implementation

How the system supports operations

Material requests, purchase orders, goods received, and stock information are managed in one system. Access reflects the responsibilities of administrators, warehouse staff, and other users. Reports help managers review procurement without rebuilding records from each department.

Benefits for the business

Requests, purchases, and goods received can be traced through one workflow.
Administrators and warehouse staff share a stock reference for coordination.
Procurement statuses identify deliveries and requests that need follow-up.
Operational reports support reviews of material needs and purchasing activity.
