Distribution and logistics
A self-running order pipeline for a distribution company
Based on projects we've delivered. Figures are approximate; client names are withheld for privacy.
The problem
Every order went through three people: one logged it, one issued the invoice, one arranged delivery. One small mistake could cost us a full day.
Before and after
Before
Manual entry into three systems.
After
One entry, the rest happens on its own.
What we built
- 1
Collects orders from the website, WhatsApp and email in one place.
- 2
Issues the quote and invoice and matches them against stock automatically.
- 3
Sends the order to the delivery team and retries on its own if any system fails — no order is lost.
Results
