There’s a Better Way to Run Your Restaurant Supply Chain 

Supply chain networks are under increasing pressure from complexity, volatility, and cost – Sightline OS represents the next generation of AI-native platforms that fully empower supply chain teams to meet these challenges. With machine learning, real-time data, and insights, Sightline OS makes it easy for  your restaurant supply chain to thrive. 

Arrowstream has long been the default for restaurant supply chain teams — and as part of the Buyers Edge Platform, it carries the weight of a large procurement network behind it. But procurement purchasing power and supply chain technology are two different things.

Sightline OS was built specifically to be the intelligence layer — forecasting that learns, inventory that adapts, and spend insights that drive improvements to your P&L.

“With our aggressive growth plans, the supply chain will only be getting longer with more touch points, lack historic data to lean on, and a lack of critical mass in new markets—all of which means introducing more risk into the business. It is non-negotiable for us to have an accurate forecasting model and demand planning system to be successful.”

— Jason Lee, SVP Merchandising & Supply Chain, Din Tai Fung

KEY DIFFERENCES

Machine learning that gets smarter – not static rules that stay the same 

Arrowstream was built on formula-based logic that limits accuracy. Sightline OS continuously learns from your data — adapting to ordering cadence, seasonality, holidays, and demand shifts automatically. The longer you use it, the more accurate it gets.

No manual intervention required.
