Wholesale Order Automation · NZ Businesses

Your wholesale team shouldn't be hand-keying orders. Any of them.

Whether you run Cin7, MYOB, Unleashed, or something else entirely — the problem's the same. Orders arrive by email, PDF, and phone, and someone has to type them in. I automate that step, for whatever stack you're on.

The order arrives. Then someone types it.

A wholesale customer emails an order. Someone opens it, reads it, and types every line into your inventory system. A buyer sends through a PDF — same again. A rep calls through a price tweak — noted on a sticky, entered later. Multiply that by every order, every day.

This isn't a software problem, exactly. The tools you have are fine. It's that no native integration was ever going to handle the messy reality of how wholesale orders actually arrive. So a human bridges the gap instead.

That human's time is worth more than data entry. And the errors that creep in when someone's on their tenth order of the afternoon? Those cost more again.

It adds up faster than it looks

Most wholesalers I talk to are losing somewhere between half a day and a full day every day to order entry. At a loaded $35–45/hour, that's $25k–50k a year in admin that could be running itself. And that's before you count the cost of errors.

I automate what the native sync misses

I work on top of your existing systems — no new platform, no rip-and-replace. The automation plugs into what you already use and handles the orders that arrive outside the clean EDI or API path:

Email and PDF orders → your inventory system.

Orders that arrive as attachments or body text get read, structured, and pushed into your system as sales orders. Platform-agnostic — Cin7, MYOB, Unleashed, or custom.

Customer-specific rules handled automatically.

Custom pricing, account codes, delivery rules. The exceptions your team currently manages by memory get encoded into the automation so they just happen.

Exceptions flagged, not hidden.

The orders that genuinely need a human get surfaced — the rest run automatically. Your team reviews the edge cases, not all of them.

Not everything should be automated. The audit tells you what's worth it — before you spend anything on a build.

Start small, prove it, scale it

Step 1

Automation Audit

From $750 — credited toward the build

I map where your order entry actually goes, put a costed number on it, and tell you what's automatable — regardless of which system you're on. Fixed fee. You walk away with a plan whether or not you go further.

Step 2

The Build

$4,000–$12,000 fixed price

I build the automation on top of your existing stack. Scoped from the audit, fixed price, no surprises. Handed over with plain-English documentation and a walkthrough for your team.

Step 3

Care Retainer

From $400/month · cancel any time

I keep it running, adapt it as your business changes, and send a monthly report showing exactly how many hours it saved. Month-to-month — no lock-in.

The TimeBack Guarantee

If it doesn't cut the time by 80%, you get the audit fee back.

If the build hasn't cut the time on these tasks to under 20% of what you spend today — within 3 months — I refund the audit fee in full. On top of it already being credited toward the build.

The audit pins the baseline before we start, so the guarantee is tied to exactly what we scoped — not a number pulled out of the air.

This is for you if…

You run a wholesale or distribution business (5–50 staff), any platform.

Orders come in through more than one channel — email, PDF, phone, or portal.

Someone on your team spends real hours each week on manual order entry.

You'd rather fix the systems you have than replace them.

Not sure? The free call is 15 minutes and there's no commitment.
