Orders, stock and handovers on one set of data

We connect the webshop, the ERP, the warehouse and the people in between, so work moves forward without someone copying it from one screen to another.

Failures alert a person; no order is dropped

Where operations lose their day

  • Orders are copied between systemsSomeone retypes each webshop order into the system the warehouse uses.

  • Stock numbers disagreeThe shop, the spreadsheet and the shelf each tell a different story.

  • Handovers happen in chatWho does what next is agreed in messages, and things fall between people.

  • Onboarding is a checklist in someone’s headAccounts, equipment and access for a new colleague are arranged from memory.

One source of truth

Stock counted in one place and shown everywhere

We agree which system owns the stock figure and push changes to the others as they happen. Salespeople, the shop and purchasing all look at the same number.

  • Reservations for open orders
  • Reorder prompts for regular items
  • Differences reported instead of silently overwritten

Repeatable handovers

Processes that start from one form and finish themselves

Onboarding a colleague or a client, opening a project, closing a job: each has steps that are the same every time. We turn them into a workflow with an owner for each step and a record of what was done.

  • Tasks created for the right people
  • Accounts and folders set up automatically where possible
  • A person approves the steps that grant access

Questions from operations teams

Do we need an ERP before we can automate?

No. Many first projects connect a webshop, a spreadsheet and email. If the analysis shows the spreadsheet is the limit, we will say so and explain what an ERP would change.

What happens when an automation fails?

A person is alerted with the details, and the item waits in a queue to be retried. We design every workflow so that a failure is visible and nothing is silently dropped.

Can you connect to our courier or warehouse software?

If it offers an API, file exchange or even structured email, usually yes. We check each connection in the analysis.

How much will this disrupt daily work?

We build next to the current process, test with a small part of the real work, and switch over once the people doing the job are comfortable with it.

Show us one process. We will show you what it could look like.

The analysis is free, takes about an hour of your time, and ends with a written summary you keep.
