Overview
Industrial Solutions distributes manufacturing parts, tools, and equipment to factories, workshops, and construction companies. Serving hundreds of B2B clients with complex pricing tiers and extended credit terms.
Manual order processing couldn’t keep up. Each order required verifying credit, applying complex pricing, coordinating inventory, and generating detailed invoices. Procurement from suppliers was equally chaotic with no visibility into needs.
Challenge
B2B complexity with hundreds of clients and suppliers overwhelmed manual processes.

- Credit limit verification manual
- Long quote generation times

- Client-specific requirements difficult
2. Purchase Management Nightmare
No visibility into what needed to be ordered from suppliers. Stock levels unclear, reorder points unknown, supplier coordination manual.
