Automate Order Entry and Parts Lookups
For distributors, dealers and parts operations across the Carolinas.Where the Hours Go
Orders Typed by Hand
Customer orders arrive as emails, PDFs and spreadsheets, and someone re-keys every line into the ERP.
Superseded and Wrong Part Numbers
Old part numbers, near-misses and substitutions get caught only if the right person happens to look.
Knowledge in One Person's Head
Your best counter or inside-sales veteran spots a wrong line in seconds. Nobody else can, and they will not be there forever.
How It Works
- Read what customers send, in whatever format it arrives
- Check each line against your catalog, supersession history and pricing
- Pass clean lines straight through and flag the exceptions for a person
- Start from the reports your ERP already produces, without changing anything in it
- Capture your expert's rules with that person as the authority, then test them against your own order history
The same pattern, already in production
For a telecom infrastructure contractor, our system builds each parts list from the project's documents. A list that took 3 hours by hand now takes about 15 minutes, and human review is reserved for genuine edge cases and final sign-off.
Works With the Systems You Already Have
We connect to what you run today instead of asking you to replace it.
- SAP
- Epicor
- QuickBooks
- Sage
- Excel and spreadsheet-based processes
- Older and custom-built ERPs
Common Concerns
What owners and operations leaders ask us before the first project
"Our data is messy."
So is almost everyone's. During discovery we check your real data and your experts' rules, and build on what actually happens rather than on what everyone assumes.
"We can't replace our ERP."
You don't have to. We build around the systems you already own, and we usually start from the reports your ERP already produces, without changing anything in it.
"Our best person won't want to be replaced."
They will not be. They stay the authority on how the work should be done, and the system takes the typing off their plate.
"We've been burned by a software project before."
Every phase has a fixed price you approve in writing before work starts. You are never committed to more than the phase in front of you.
"What if the system gets something wrong?"
Where the rules are clear, the system decides. Where they aren't, it flags the item for a person instead of guessing. Human review is reserved for genuine edge cases and final sign-off.
"What happens when the project is done?"
You own what we build. It is documented and supported by our team, so it never depends on any one person.
