Industry
Distribution & Wholesale
We close the gap between what your ERP, WMS, and EDI feeds say, and what someone has to manually fix to make them agree: PO intake, inventory reconciliation, backorders, and packing slip matching.
Where the time goes
What usually eats hours here
- Purchase orders arriving by EDI or email and getting re-typed into the ERP by hand
- Inventory counts in the WMS checked against the ERP by hand, item by item
- Backorder status tracked across systems that don't talk to each other, so someone has to chase it down
- Packing slips matched to POs by hand before an invoice can go out
Examples, not client case studies
What this can look like
These are illustrative examples, not promises of results. Every project starts with your own workflow.
Purchase order intake
Before
POs arrive through EDI, email, and a supplier portal in three different formats. Someone standardizes each one and types it into the ERP, checking it against the price list as they go.
After
POs get pulled in from every channel, standardized automatically, and checked against the price list before posting to the ERP. Anything outside range goes to a person instead of posting on its own.
WMS to ERP inventory reconciliation
Before
Every week someone exports counts from the WMS and the ERP, lines them up in a spreadsheet, and hunts for the items that don't match. By the time they find the cause, the count has changed again.
After
Counts are compared automatically on a schedule. Items that match are left alone. Mismatches are listed with both values and recent movements, so the person investigating starts from the answer, not the export.
Systems
Systems this work usually touches
We build around what you already run. These are the categories that come up most in distribution workflows.
- ERP and order management systems
- Warehouse management systems (WMS)
- EDI feeds for purchase orders, acknowledgements, ship notices, and invoices
- Customer and supplier portals
- E-commerce and marketplace order sources
- Accounting and pricing spreadsheets
FAQ
Distribution & Wholesale: common questions
Do you replace our ERP or WMS?
No. Both stay the systems of record. We fix the manual work between and around them: the re-typing, the reconciliation, and the exception chasing.
Our POs arrive in a dozen formats. Can one pipeline handle that?
Yes. EDI orders are structured already; email and portal orders need extraction first. One pipeline takes all of them, standardizes the result, and applies the same price and stock checks before anything posts.
What about inventory counts that never agree?
Automated comparison won't fix a bad process on the floor, but it makes the mismatches visible on a schedule with the context needed to find the cause, instead of a weekly spreadsheet hunt.
