The challenge

Three staff spent their mornings typing emailed orders into an ERP. Mistakes were expensive, and customers could not see their own pricing or whether a line was in stock.

What we did

  • Customer-specific price lists and credit terms mirrored from the ERP
  • Live stock levels with substitution suggestions at the point of ordering
  • Repeat-order and standing-order flows built around how buyers actually reorder
  • A gradual customer rollout by region, with the phone line kept open throughout
