The distribution order-entry problem
Distributors live in the long tail. EDI covers your largest trading partners, but a quarter of order volume, regional accounts, contractors, one-off reorders, still arrives as email and PDF. Those orders, against catalogs of hundreds of thousands of SKUs, are where order-entry teams spend their days and where wrong-SKU errors cost real money.
OrderPier reads every inbound PO, matches line items to your catalog (including customer part numbers), validates pricing and availability, and posts the order, so the long tail stops being a labor sink.
Why distributors choose OrderPier
- Handles any layout from any customer with no per-account template setup.
- Matches customer SKUs and descriptions to your item master.
- Validates price and stock before the order is created.
- Posts into the ERP you already run: Microsoft Dynamics 365, QuickBooks Online, Epicor Prophet 21, Epicor Kinetic, Acumatica in development with pilot customers, QuickBooks Enterprise via IIF file export, and a webhook covers everything else. Current status for every connector is on the integrations page.
Questions distributors ask
- We already use EDI, why add this?
- EDI and OrderPier are complementary. EDI handles your onboarded partners. OrderPier automates the emailed long tail that's too costly to EDI, which is usually where the manual labor actually is.
