Context

A food distributor whose customers send purchase orders by e-mail, WhatsApp and phone in every format.

The problem

Purchase orders arrive by e-mail, WhatsApp and phone, in every format. Lines were retyped into the ERP one by one, and mapping errors surfaced at delivery.

The constraint

Business Central runs on-premises, so the platform cannot open an inbound port. Mapping errors used to surface only at delivery.

What we built

  • A validation queue: live counts of pending orders, auto-mapping rate, ERP success rate and validation time, filterable by channel, with a mapping confidence bar on every order
  • An inline preview with live ERP verification of prices, credit and SKU availability, and urgent flagging of orders past their SLA or with low confidence
  • A customer view: year-to-date revenue, order history, a per-customer SKU mapping dictionary, a samples tracker and an activity feed
  • A delivery-day view on a phone for drivers and warehouse staff

How it works

Orders are ingested from the mailbox and WhatsApp Business as they arrive. Each line is mapped to an ERP product with a confidence score, and a validation queue checks prices, credit and SKU availability live against the ERP. A connector agent installed inside the client network makes only outbound calls, and every sales-order write is idempotent.

Status

This system is specification delivered. Results will be added here once it is in production.
