Industries · Distribution & Logistics

Order, stock and delivery data that stays in sync across every system.

Distributors depend on accurate stock, fast order processing and margins that survive freight costs. We build and connect the systems behind that: ERP, e-commerce and marketplace integrations, warehouse apps, event-driven order processing on AWS or Azure, and the data foundations for forecasting.

Common challenges

What we often see in distribution & logistics.

  • 01

    Stock that doesn’t match

    Web shops, marketplaces and the ERP disagree on what’s available, causing overselling and cancelled orders.

  • 02

    Manual order entry

    Orders arriving by email, PDF or EDI are re-keyed by hand, adding delays and errors.

  • 03

    Peaks that break integrations

    Seasonal peaks and promotions slow down or overwhelm batch-based integrations.

  • 04

    Paper-heavy documents

    Delivery notes, proofs of delivery and supplier invoices pile up for manual matching.

How we help

  • Event-driven order processing
