OPERPATHThe layer no one's solving.
Distributors spend millions on ERPs and layer specialized tools on top: Canals for invoice matching, Parspec for submittals, EDI for the big vendors. But the day-to-day work, the exceptions, the tribal knowledge living in people's heads, still gets done manually by experienced employees who should be doing higher-value work.
That's the layer we own.
OPERPATHCustom automation, built for one industry.
Every engagement is bespoke. We've shipped one system into production already; the rest of our practice is scoped against the manual work buried inside a distributor's ERP.
Receiving Automation.
Packing slips land in a watched folder, get parsed by AI, matched against open POs, and entered into the ERP end-to-end. Exceptions get routed; the tracking sheet updates itself.
- Quantity decomposition across slips
- Breakout / replacement / partial ship
- Google Sheets bookkeeping sync
Adjacent builds.
Prior and active work across the same operational layer.
- Ship-date intelligenceAgents that log into vendor portals, pull ship-date changes, and reconcile them against the ERP, replacing the morning chase.
- Exception workflowsBreakouts, RGAs, short-ships, credit-memo tracking. The cases your team handles by hand today, built to your specific process.
- Your manual processIf a repetitive step eats hours every week and no SaaS has touched it, we'll scope it in 30 minutes and tell you honestly if we can automate it.
OPERPATHFour phases. One embedded team.
Every distributor is different, which is why off-the-shelf fails here. We pair with one person who knows how the work actually runs, and build around the nuance that matters.
Shadow
We spend a week inside your operation, sitting next to the person who does the work today. Every exception, every workaround, every tribal rule gets documented.
Build
We ship a working prototype in weeks, not months. You see it run against real data from day one.
Deploy
Your team gets a simple interface to control the agent, review its work, and flag edge cases. People stop doing the work and start managing it.
Expand
Once one process runs, the next is faster. We work through your automation backlog together: receiving, then returns, then expediting, then whatever's next.
OPERPATHBuilt for your business, not the average one.
The big SaaS tools are built for everyone, which means they fit no one. We build around how your team actually operates.
OPERPATHIs OPERPATH a fit for your business?
If you have a manual, repetitive process eating up your team's time, book a 30-minute call. We'll walk through your workflow, tell you honestly whether we can automate it, and if we can, give you a rough scope and price on the call.
