The challenge
Where distribution businesses lose time and margin.
Thin margins leave no room for manual processes. These are the issues we fix most often for UK wholesalers.
If your team re-keys orders from email into a system, there is a quick win waiting.
Stock that never matches
Counts drift between systems and warehouses, so you oversell, short-ship or hold far more stock than you need.
Orders arriving by email and phone
Sales staff re-key orders by hand, which slows fulfilment and introduces costly errors.
Slow, paper-based picking
Pickers rely on printed lists, with no scanning, so mis-picks and returns eat into margin.
Complex customer pricing
Price lists, contract rates and volume breaks live in spreadsheets that nobody fully trusts.
Channels that do not talk
Trade portal, marketplaces, EDI and accounts run separately, so reconciliation takes days.
No clear view of margin
You cannot see profitability by customer, product or route until month end, if at all.
How we help
Connected order-to-cash for wholesalers.
We implement one platform that handles purchasing, stock, sales, fulfilment and finance, so every order flows without re-keying.
Multi-warehouse inventory
Real-time stock across locations, bins and vans, with lot, serial and expiry tracking where you need it.
Automated replenishment
Reorder points, supplier lead times and demand history drive purchase suggestions automatically.
Barcode picking and dispatch
Mobile scanning for receiving, picking, packing and shipping, integrated with your carriers.
B2B portal and sales app
Customers order online at their own prices and reps take orders in the field on a tablet.
