In companies dedicated to the marketing of perishable products (fruits and vegetables), one of their main processes is purchasing supplies. However, this process tends to be time-consuming because it requires analyzing the quantity of products available in storage. Due to a lack of knowledge about inventory levels, it's often unclear when to request products from suppliers to avoid shortages. Therefore, a series of key indicators is proposed to visualize the necessary information for prompt decision-making in the procurement process of perishable products. The intervention method involved semi-structured interviews with managers of a fruits and vegetables trading company, which helped identify the challenges arising in this process and how they are addressed. Based on the analysis of these interviews, a set of key indicators is proposed to facilitate decision-making for replenishing products. These indicators could subsequently be evaluated in companies operating in this sector.
