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
- 01
Observe the current process
We watch the work as it is actually done, including the workarounds, before proposing anything.
- 02
Scope the first slice
One workflow, one team, one measurable target — chosen because it carries the most manual effort.
- 03
Build and pilot
Working software in a pilot group within weeks, running alongside the current process until the numbers agree.
- 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.
