The distribution order-entry problem
Distributors live in the long tail. EDI covers your largest trading partners, but a quarter of order volume — regional accounts, contractors, one-off reorders — still arrives as email and PDF. Those orders, against catalogs of hundreds of thousands of SKUs, are where order-entry teams spend their days and where wrong-SKU errors cost real money.
OrderPier reads every inbound PO, matches line items to your catalog (including customer part numbers), validates pricing and availability, and posts the order — so the long tail stops being a labor sink.
Why distributors choose OrderPier
- Handles any layout from any customer with no per-account template setup.
- Matches customer SKUs and descriptions to your item master.
- Validates price and stock before the order is created.
- Native integration with Epicor Prophet 21, NetSuite, Acumatica, Infor, and more.
Frequently asked questions
- We already use EDI — why add this?
- EDI and OrderPier are complementary. EDI handles your onboarded partners; OrderPier automates the emailed long tail that's too costly to EDI, which is usually where the manual labor actually is.
