Orders flow into OrderPier's native Kanban board, drag, review, post. The fastest path from email to fulfilled order when you don't run a traditional ERP.

Why distributors without an ERP still drown in emailed POs
Plenty of distributors run on a mix of spreadsheets, shared inboxes, and tribal knowledge. The work, read the PO, check stock, confirm pricing, fulfill, is the same as anyone else's. There's just no ERP to type it into.
OrderPier closes that gap without forcing you to buy and integrate one. Every email lands as a card on a board your team already understands: drag through New → In review → Approved → Posted. The model that powers the ERP integrations is the same one extracting your POs, you just don't pay the ERP tax.

Kanban questions
- Do I need an ERP to use OrderPier?
- No. The Kanban board is the destination. Forward POs to your dedicated address and they land as cards. Drag through the lanes. No ERP, no IT, no integration project.
- Can I add an ERP later?
- Yes, change the destination in settings and approved orders start posting to the ERP instead. Your historical board state stays intact. Only NEW approvals go through the new destination.
- Who is this best for?
- Distributors and small manufacturers without an ERP, teams piloting OrderPier before wiring it into a system of record, and anyone who wants a visual queue on top of an existing ERP integration.
