If you’ve ever had orders go missing, stock run out without warning, or invoices scattered across WhatsApp, you’re not alone. Many F&B businesses in Singapore deal with the same problems every week. That’s why supply chain management tools like Tinvio and Food Market Hub (FMH) are becoming more popular. But which one helps you better manage your kitchen, your inventory, and your supplier relationships?

Let’s break it down feature by feature so you can decide what works best for you.

Ingredient Ordering 

Tinvio focuses on chat-based ordering. You use a mobile app to message your suppliers directly, just like WhatsApp. You can place orders through the chat, browse catalogs, and re-order previous items. Ordering through chat leaves room for mistakes. For example, if you want to order from multiple suppliers, you have to chat with them one by one and then place your order. This can be error-prone and frustrating to a greater extent. Your orders will also get lost among chats.

FMH, on the other hand, lets you order from all of your suppliers from a centralized dashboard. It works like an e-commerce website where you select your ingredients, enter quantities, compare prices, and confirm the order with a few clicks. Each order is logged and tracked on a dashboard. It lets you place orders even if your suppliers are not using the Food Market Hub. 

Reports and Insights

Tinvio provides basic order history and expense tracking. You can view previous transactions and some charts, but it’s limited when it comes to deep analysis.

FMH, on the other hand, can give you detailed reports that can help you double your profits. It can help you find any discrepancies and even let you compare prices while ordering. If your supplier shorts you 1 Kilogram of chicken, which costs 8.31 SGD every month, then in one year you will lose 99.72 SGD every year. Which can become huge if they keep adding up. With FMH, you will know how much your suppliers delivered and how much you ordered. 

POS and Accounting Software Integration

Tinvio is mostly standalone. It doesn’t link directly with POS or accounting systems. You can export reports, but integration is limited.

FMH connects directly with your POS and accounting software, which can help you manage your finances and your sales. It gives you a real-time inventory management feature. Every time you receive your orders, you can just update them in the system. If you sell ten bowls of laksa, FMH deducts the ingredients from the inventory according to it. FMH even lets you set PAR levels for your inventory, which means that the system will send you alerts whenever your stock drops below a certain point. You can set 2 types of PAR levels with FMH. You can set one level for normal days (When the consumption of ingredients is comparatively less) and another level for the festive season or weekends (When the consumption of ingredients is more). 

Pricing

Tinvio offers you a product that doesn’t help you much with complex tasks and doesn’t completely help you solve F&B problems. Even though it is free, it won’t help you much. Moreover, tinvio is only made for wholesalers, distributors, and retailers. It is not specifically made for F&B businesses and is not suitable for finding solutions to F&B-specific problems. 

FMH offers you a premium product at a low cost. You will get a comprehensive solution that helps in structured ordering, real-time inventory management, in-depth insights, automation, and robust supplier tracking. Many restaurants say FMH helps them increase their profits by 15% monthly by reducing waste and managing the stock better.

If you want to truly improve your restaurant supply chain and make your daily ingredient ordering process smoother, FMH gives you more control.

You get clear order tracking, smart inventory tools, and real reports that help you make better decisions. You won’t waste time chasing deliveries or wondering if something was ordered. With FMH, everything is tracked and visible. It brings structure to your kitchen’s supply chain management process and helps you manage suppliers with confidence.

If you’re ready to stop juggling chats, spreadsheets, and guesswork, FMH is the better choice. It’s built for F&B businesses like yours to save time, cut waste, and make ordering easy.
