## What is Time to Buy?

"Time to Buy" will notify you of the replenishment time of the products you regularly purchase.

- Notifying stock reduction
   "Time to Buy" will notify you of the date determined on the basis of product information / stock information registered in this app by notification feature of Reminders.

- Registering products
   Scan the product's barcode and register the product's net and consumption pace.

- Replenishing stock
   Scan the product’s barcode, and register the number of products to be replenished and the warning level of stock (e.g. 20%), standard for notifying the alarm. "Time to Buy" also supports increased weight products.

- Notifying on expiration date
   "Time to Buy" also supports notification of expiration date.

- Grouping refills and similar products (in-app purchase item)
   For example, by grouping detergent bottles and refills into a group, you can manage the stock in one place. Likewise, for example, coffee filters from several manufacturers can also be grouped together.

- Stopping / resuming stock (in-app purchase item)
   "Time to Buy" delays the notification timing only during the stop period.

- Issuing 2D-Codes (in-app purchase item)
   You can manage products without barcodes with 2D-Code published in this app.
