Distributors

AI automation for distributors.

Orders don’t arrive neatly. For small distribution teams in Upstate South Carolina, the hours often disappear between the inbox and the order system, and that’s where we’d look first.

Possible workflows

From the inbox to the order system.

  • Purchase-order intake

    Today
    POs arrive as PDFs and emails in every format, and someone keys each line into your order system.
    The agent
    Extracts customer, item, quantity and date details and prepares a draft order.
    Your team
    Checks the draft before it goes into the system of record.
  • Exceptions and missing information

    Today
    A wrong part number or missing ship-to stops an order, and the issue sits in someone’s inbox.
    The agent
    Flags mismatches and missing fields, then routes them to the right person with a suggested question.
    Your team
    Resolves the exception and decides what to tell the customer.
  • Vendor communication and summaries

    Today
    Staff chase confirmations and ship dates, then assemble status updates by hand.
    The agent
    Drafts vendor follow-ups and prepares internal order and vendor summaries.
    Your team
    Approves outgoing messages and acts on what the summary surfaces.

These are potential use cases, not customer deployments or results.

Where we’d keep people in charge

  • Your system of record. Nothing should reach your ERP or accounting system without validation.
  • Pricing and terms. Customer-specific pricing and contract questions stay with your team.
  • Low-confidence reads. A blurry scan or an unfamiliar part number should be flagged, not guessed.

Worth checking first

Results depend on how consistent your documents are and whether your order system can accept data cleanly. We’d test with a sample of your real paperwork before recommending an installation.
