AI tools for wholesalers and distributors in Liverpool, Wirral and Cheshire
Orders in,stock right, prices current.
Wholesalers take orders from every direction, hold stock against uncertain demand and keep many price lists up to date. We build AI tools that handle orders, forecast stock and produce customer price lists.
(01) Overview
AI tools for wholesalers and distributors, explained.
Wholesalers and distributors take orders in every format, from emails to photos of handwritten lists, and keep many customer price lists up to date. AI tools for wholesalers and distributors read those orders, forecast stock from your sales history and produce each customer's price list from your costs and margins.
The result is less keying in, fewer mistakes, better stock levels and price lists that keep up when suppliers change their prices.
(02) The admin problem
The admin that slows wholesalers and distributors down.
- Problem 01
Orders by email, phone and WhatsApp. Every customer orders differently, and keying orders in takes hours and causes mistakes.
- Problem 02
Too much or too little stock. Without a forecast, fast lines run out and slow lines tie up cash and space.
- Problem 03
Price lists for every customer. Different customers get different prices, and every supplier increase means updating them all.

(04) Worked example
How the tools work together for wholesalers and distributors.
This is an example. It shows how the tools could work together for a typical business. It is not a real customer or a case study.
For example, a catering wholesaler in Widnes gets orders by email, WhatsApp and photos of handwritten lists from café owners. Each one is read and turned into a draft order for the office to confirm, instead of being typed in.
When a supplier raises prices, every affected customer's price list is updated and ready to send. Ahead of December, the forecast suggests ordering more of the lines that sold out last Christmas.
