Use case

Channel partners ordering against live stock

Distributors need three things from you: what is available, what it costs them, and where their last order is. Everything else is negotiation.

Outcomes

  • Fewer availability enquiries
  • Orders against real stock
  • Forecast visibility from the channel
  • Faster replenishment cycles

Use case

Where it is used

Availability

Live stock with reservation at order time.

Terms

Currency, tax and incoterms per distributor.

Forecasting

Partners submitting expected demand.

What we deliver

  • Distributor accounts and terms
  • Live availability
  • Order and shipment tracking
  • Forecast collection
  • Document repository

Problems this solves

Forecasts arrive as spreadsheets

Structured submission with validation replaces the monthly file exchange.

Stock positions invisible

Shared sell-in, sell-through and stock-on-hand reporting in one agreed format.

Claims settled manually

Rebates and returns handled through an auditable workflow with reproducible calculations.

How delivery runs

  1. 01

    Observe the current process

    We watch the work as it is actually done, including the workarounds, before proposing anything.

  2. 02

    Scope the first slice

    One workflow, one team, one measurable target — chosen because it carries the most manual effort.

  3. 03

    Build and pilot

    Working software in a pilot group within weeks, running alongside the current process until the numbers agree.

  4. 04

    Roll out and switch off

    Migration, training and a dated switch-off of the old route, so two processes do not run forever.

Realistic timeline

Weeks 1–3

Data agreement and intake design.

Weeks 4–10

Intake, ordering and core dashboards.

Weeks 11–18

Claims, rebates and multi-market rollout.

What moves the price

Format variety

Each non-standard distributor format adds a parser and its error handling.

Rebate rules

Multi-tier and retroactive rebates require careful modelling and reconciliation.

Regional requirements

Tax, language and document rules differ per market.

Where projects go wrong

Automating the workaround

Rules are agreed with the people who handle today's exceptions, so we encode the correct process rather than the historic patch.

Adoption stalls

Rollout has named owners and measured usage per team; software nobody uses moves cost instead of removing it.
