Distribution & Wholesale

Enter orders once and get trucks out

Vic takes orders from email, EDI and voicemail, checks inventory and credit, schedules the delivery and keeps customers posted, inside the ERP and WMS you already run.

The old way

Orders arrive every way except the easy way

Emails, PDFs, EDI, voicemails and a portal nobody checks. Then the status calls start, and every team ends up entering its own version of the same order.

The new way

Pick a use case.

Watch Vic run the work, start to finish.

Questions

What distribution leaders ask first

Yes. Vic connects to your ERP, WMS, EDI, telephony and email through existing integrations and works inside them: reading orders, stock and credit, writing orders, allocations and invoices, and logging every action back where your team expects to find it. There's no new portal to adopt and no data migration.

Rules and macros fire an alert and then wait for a person to act. Vic completes the task: it enters the order, checks stock and credit, books the delivery, sends the confirmation, and only escalates the calls that need judgment, with the full context attached. It's a teammate that does the work, not another notification in the queue.

You define the guardrails: what Vic handles on its own, what it must escalate, and who it routes to. Anything past those limits, like a pricing exception or a credit override, goes to the right person on your team with the history and a recommendation. Once you decide, Vic carries out the action and updates the record.

Most teams connect their systems and start shadowing within the first couple of weeks, then expand coverage as trust builds. You stay in approval mode for as long as you want. Vic takes more of the routine queue only as you sign off on the patterns.
