Wholesale distribution · Order intake
A customer sends a purchase order as a PDF or in the body of an email. Someone opens it, finds the account, matches every line to a product code and types it into the system. It takes a morning, it happens every day, and a single transposed digit ships the wrong thing to the wrong place.
Nothing gets replaced.
The work you get back.
Built around your order format and your existing system. Most builds of this kind finish in two to four weeks, at a fixed price agreed before work starts.
Before you call anyone
Move the sliders to match one job someone does by hand. If the build would take more than a year to pay back, the calculator says so.

Common questions
No, and it is the normal case. The software learns the formats your regular customers actually send. Anything it has not seen before goes to a person instead of being guessed at.
It flags rather than guesses. Where a line cannot be matched with confidence it stops and asks, which is the behavior you want on an order that turns into a shipment.
No. That is the point. Asking customers to change how they buy from you is a good way to lose them, so the software adapts to what they already send.
Usually. Whether it writes directly or stages orders for one-click approval depends on what your system allows and how much you want checked first.
