Business Systems Integration & Automation for Distribution
Your systems should talk to each other.
Tired of spreadsheets, manual exports, and "the data doesn't match" conversations? We build integrations that actually work.
Proof, Not Promises
Real work we've shipped — not hypothetical capabilities.

The iteration loop, the honest limitations, and a copy-paste template you can steal for your own workflow.

Corrected 27 August 2026. The 99%+ figure was labelled automation match rate and linked to the section on replacing spreadsheet macros. It comes from the database view audit, so it now carries that section’s own label and links there, beside the two figures it was measured with. The article separately reports a reconciliation rate for the macro-replacement work; the two are different measurements that happen to share a figure, and the link went to the wrong one.
Corrected 21 August 2026. A fourth figure — a B → A+ security grade — was removed from this row. It came from a personal project, and standing it beside professional results without saying so overstated what it was. It is still in the article, labelled.
What We Build
Solutions that solve real problems and deliver measurable results. Worked examples with real numbers are in the case study. Larger multi-site engagements are described under operations modernization. Running Epicor? Start with P21 & Kinetic reporting or SQL Server performance.
Stop Manual Data Entry
Automate data flows between your tools. No more copy-pasting between spreadsheets and systems.
→ ETL & Data PipelinesSee Your Numbers, Real-Time
Custom dashboards that actually answer your questions. Know what's happening without digging through reports.
→ BI DashboardsConnect Everything
Make your systems talk to each other. CRM to ERP, e-commerce to inventory, whatever you need.
→ ERP IntegrationSleep Through the Night
Built-in monitoring, smart retries, and automatic recovery. Problems get fixed before you know they happened.
→ Monitoring & AlertsOne Source of Truth
Consolidate data from everywhere into a single warehouse. Stop hunting through 5 different systems to answer one question.
→ Data WarehousingReports That Run Themselves
Daily summaries, weekly KPIs, monthly board reports—generated and delivered automatically. No more manual Excel work.
→ Automated ReportingMake the Slow Things Fast
Reports that time out and queries that crawl usually have a cause, not a mystery. We find which ones are actually slow, fix the reason, and measure the difference.
→ Performance TuningUnderstand What You Inherited
Systems nobody documented, built by people who left. We map how it actually fits together so your team can change it without holding their breath.
→ System MappingRetire the Fragile Macros
Spreadsheet macros that only run on one person's machine, in the right order, when they remember. Replaced with something scheduled, logged, and monitored.
→ Legacy AutomationTools Your Team Will Actually Use
Small, purpose-built tools that replace a manual process, with validation that catches mistakes before they cost you and documentation people will read.
→ Internal ToolsKnowledge That Outlives the People Who Have It
The person who knows how the process works will eventually leave. We turn what is in their head into guides your team will actually open, organised the way they already think.
→ Training & DocumentationFind Out Who Can Actually Read Your Data
Most exposures are not break-ins. They are a key in a page, a table with access control that was never switched on, or a policy that matches nothing while looking like it works. We check what an anonymous browser can actually retrieve, and close it properly.
→ Access Control Audit → Access ReviewLock Down What You Already Shipped
Security headers that permit exactly what they were added to prevent are the norm, not the exception. We remove what forces the loophole open rather than documenting why it has to stay, and we show you the grade before and after.
→ Application Hardening → Security HeadersForms That Don't Lose Submissions
A form that sends an email and reports success only if the send worked will silently destroy enquiries the day a credential expires. We move the durable write in front of the notification, so a delivery failure is an alert, not a deletion.
→ Reliability Review → Silent Failure AuditThe Bugs Nothing Reports
Redirect rules that never run. A sitemap the whole internet says is fine and no parser will accept. Assets cached for a year against markup that changed yesterday. These pass every check, return no error, and stay broken for months. We probe the live system instead of reading the config.
→ Delivery & Config AuditNumbers You Can Actually Trust
Before you act on a dashboard, it is worth knowing whether pages are tagged twice, whether one property is fed by several sites, and whether your staging traffic is counted as real. Frequently no code needs writing — the reports were just never true.
→ Measurement Audit → Analytics AuditProve Nothing Broke
For a large mechanical change, "the diff looks equivalent" is not evidence. We measure the old and new versions side by side and compare what actually renders, so a refactor ships with proof instead of confidence.
→ Refactor Verification → How We WorkRunning a distribution or manufacturing operation? The heavier operational work — EDI, ERP carve-outs, opening and moving sites, quality systems, vendor-managed inventory, inventory accuracy and system selection — is described under operations modernization. If you want the shorter version first — what usually turns out to be wrong in a distribution stack, and which of these five kinds of work fixes it — start with technology for distributors.
What That Looks Like Built
One client engagement, described without the specifics.
A company ran its entire operation on one large system that nobody had documented. Knowledge lived with whoever had been there longest, training was done by shoulder-surfing, and the same questions were answered over and over.
We built them an internal knowledge library. Rather than inventing a structure, it mirrors the module layout of the system staff already work in every day, so finding a reference feels familiar from the first visit. Guides are slide decks instead of walls of text, every slide is individually linkable so a colleague can be sent to step nine rather than to a document, and the tooling sits alongside the documentation instead of in a separate place people forget about.
It is explicitly a living document. Published guides went out while later modules were still being written, because a library that waits until it is complete never ships.
The same engagement produced the in-browser tool described above, embedded directly in the guide that explains when to use it. Documentation people ignore and tools people cannot find are the same problem. Shipping them together is the fix.
Software That Handles the Weird Stuff
APIs go down. Data formats change. Networks timeout. We build systems that expect this and keep running anyway.
No Emergency Calls
Problems get caught, logged, and fixed before you even know they happened. You'll get a summary report, not a 2 AM page.
Built for Growth
Whether you're processing 100 records or 10 million, the architecture stays the same. No "we need to rebuild this" conversations later.
Battle-Tested Integrations
We've connected Salesforce, Shopify, Epicor, NetSuite, and dozens of others enough times to know where things break and how to prevent it.
Here's How We Work Together
No mystery. No disappearing acts. You'll know exactly what's happening at every step.
We Talk
30 minutes on a call. You tell us what's broken, what's frustrating, what you wish worked better. We ask questions and take notes.
We Propose
You get a document that says exactly what we'll build, how long it takes, and what it costs. No surprises later.
We Build
You get weekly updates with working software to test. Questions? Feedback? We're a Slack message away.
You're Probably Wondering...
Here's what most people ask before we start working together.
"Is custom development expensive?"
Honestly? It depends. But most of our projects pay for themselves within a few months through time saved and errors avoided. We'll give you a clear number upfront—no surprises.
"How long until I see something working?"
Weeks, not months. We get a working version in your hands fast so you can test it with real data. Then we iterate based on what you actually need.
"What happens when something breaks?"
We build things that handle their own problems. But when you need us? We're here. Maintenance and support included, plus documentation so you're never locked in.
"We've been burned by developers before."
We get it. That's why we do weekly updates, clear scope documents, and no work starts without a signed agreement on exactly what we're building. You'll never wonder where things stand.
"Do we own the code you write?"
100%. Everything we build is yours. Full source code, documentation, deployment instructions—the works. You can hand it to another team tomorrow if you want.
"Our IT team is nervous about security."
Good—they should be. We follow security best practices (encrypted connections, credential management, audit logging). Happy to walk through our approach with your team before we start.
