Business automation for wholesale and consumer goods

Taking orders from retailers' Web-EDI, sending shipping notices, reconciling receipts, and matching payments to receivables, automated with AI and human review.

Common problems

  1. Signing in every morning to each retailer's Web-EDI, all built differently, to download data

  2. Time-critical work driven by order cut-offs and shipping data deadlines

  3. Checking differences in received quantities and payments, and finding out why
