Flectic
Industries / Wholesale & Distribution

Tighter pricing, faster orders, cleaner margin.

Distributors live and die on price discipline and fill rate. We unify catalog, pricing, multi-warehouse inventory, and finance on Dynamics 365 or Odoo — so every order is priced right, sourced fast, and lands in the ledger without a re-key.

The operating reality

Where wholesale & distribution teams lose time and margin.

These rarely show as one number. They show as off-contract pricing, backorders on stock you had elsewhere, and a sales desk that can't quote without three phone calls.

C1

Pricing chaos

Customer-specific, volume, and contract pricing live in spreadsheets, so reps quote off-contract and margin bleeds.

C2

Backorder churn

Stock sits in one branch while another backorders it — no network view, no smart sourcing.

C3

Slow order entry

Reps key orders by hand from emails and faxes, introducing errors and delaying every shipment.

C4

No B2B self-service

Customers can't see stock, price, or order status, so the sales desk fields calls all day.

C5

Vendor blind spots

Rebates, lead times, and fill performance aren't tracked, so purchasing buys on habit, not data.

C6

Margin after the fact

Freight, rebates, and discounts net out at month-end, so real margin per order is a surprise.

Solutions for this industry

Two systems of record, one operating model.

We deploy the ERP that owns catalog, inventory, and finance, and the CRM that owns the account and the order desk — sharing one item, one price master, and one customer.

ERP · System of record

ERP for the whole network.

Catalog, multi-warehouse inventory, pricing, and finance on one platform — every branch reading one stock and one price master, every order landing in the ledger.

  • Customer, volume, and contract pricing enforced at order entry
  • Multi-warehouse inventory with smart sourcing and transfers
  • Purchase planning with vendor lead times and rebates
  • Freight, discounts, and rebates netted into true margin

CRM · Accounts & order desk

CRM for the order desk.

Account management, quoting, and a B2B portal connected to live stock and pricing — so reps quote in seconds and customers self-serve.

  • Quote-to-order with live stock and contract price
  • B2B self-service portal for reorder and order status
  • Account health, rebate, and margin visibility per customer
  • One customer record shared with the ERP

Industry use cases

What we put to work first.

The first programs we scope for a distributor — each chosen because it protects margin and fill rate before the build is finished.

U1

Pricing engine

Customer, volume, and contract prices enforced automatically — no more off-contract quotes.

U2

Smart sourcing

Allocate each line from the branch that fills fastest and cheapest across the network.

U3

B2B portal

Customers see stock, price, and status and reorder themselves, freeing the sales desk.

U4

Demand replenishment

Reorder points and safety stock tuned by branch on real velocity, not habit.

U5

Vendor scorecards

Track lead time, fill, and rebate performance so purchasing buys on data.

U6

True-margin orders

Freight, rebates, and discounts netted per order so the desk sees real margin live.

The Flectic approach

Senior-led delivery, tuned to your floor.

The same disciplined arc we run everywhere — but discovery starts with one order priced, sourced, and shipped. The senior consultant who scopes it is the one who builds it.

01

Trace an order, price to ship

We follow an order from quote to delivery across branches, find where price and margin break, and leave week one with maps and a fixed-scope brief.

02

Design the pricing and stock model

Price master, sourcing rules, and replenishment built against your real catalog and branches in a working tenant — not in slides.

03

Pilot one branch, then network

We prove pricing and sourcing on one branch, then connect the network so the order desk never stops.

04

Tune against live fill rate

60-day hypercare with the consultant who built it: pricing accuracy, sourcing logic, and dashboards purchasing trusts.

Flectic replaced fragmented processes with one operating system our team actually adopted. The rollout was disciplined and the impact was visible within the first quarter.SARAH HADLEY · COO · WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION

Questions leaders ask

Before you commit to a wholesale & distribution rollout.

Direct answers to the questions distribution leaders raise before they greenlight a rollout. If one is a dealbreaker, better to surface it on the first call.

Yes. Customer-specific, volume, contract, and promotional pricing all coexist and are enforced at order entry, with full audit. The configuration follows your real price book, not a template.

That's the point. One stock and price master spans every branch, with smart sourcing and inter-branch transfers. We pilot one branch, then connect the network without downtime.

Yes. Quotes and the B2B portal read live inventory and contract price, so reps and customers see what's actually available at the right number, not a stale export.

Most distributors see measurable wins in 8–12 weeks — usually price discipline and fewer backorders first, true-margin visibility close behind, all verified during hypercare.

The senior consultant you meet on the discovery call. No offshore bench, no handoff to a junior team in week three. The person who maps your order flow is the person who builds the system.
