Solution

Give distributors live stock, pricing and order status

Distributors phone because they cannot see. Once they can see stock, prices and where their order is, the calls stop and the orders keep coming.

Outcomes

  • Fewer availability enquiries
  • Orders placed against live stock
  • Documents self-served
  • Faster channel replenishment

How delivery runs

  1. 01

    Data agreement

    Agree what each distributor reports, in what format and at what frequency, before building.

  2. 02

    Intake and validation

    File and API intake with validation rules and a correction loop for bad submissions.

  3. 03

    Commercial workflows

    Ordering, claims and rebate calculation with approval steps and documents.

  4. 04

    Analytics

    Shared dashboards on the agreed metrics so both sides argue about decisions, not numbers.

What moves the price

Number of distributors and formats

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

Rebate complexity

Multi-tier and retroactive rebate calculations require careful modelling and reconciliation.

Regional requirements

Tax, language and document requirements differ per market.

Where projects go wrong

Partial data submission

Completeness reporting per distributor makes gaps visible, with commercial follow-up rather than silent tolerance.

Rebate disputes

Every calculation is reproducible from stored inputs with a versioned rule set.
