Who we work with

Across the sector, at every scale.

Manufacturers and wholesalers are usually better at making and moving product than at explaining it. The website shows a factory photo and a phone number, trade customers order by email or fax, order entry is re-keyed into the ERP, and the sales team works from a spreadsheet of accounts that has not been cleaned in years. The business is sound; the systems around it are slowing it down.

We work with owner-managed manufacturers, distributors and industrial suppliers on the parts of the business that win and keep trade accounts. That means a website that shows capability and capacity the way a procurement manager wants to see it, lead generation for the account types you want, portals that let customers order and track without ringing, integration between the website, ERP and warehouse, and managed IT across the office, the floor and any second site.

The challenges

What gets in the way of growth.

Written from how operators in this sector describe their week, not from a generic marketing checklist.

  1. 01

    The website does not reflect what we can actually make

    A procurement manager wants capabilities, capacity, certifications, lead times and examples, and finds a brochure page from the last rebrand.

  2. 02

    New trade accounts come from the sales rep's contacts and nowhere else

    Growth depends on a small number of relationships, and there is no reliable way to reach the buyers who have never heard of the company.

  3. 03

    Orders arrive by email and are typed into the ERP by hand

    Purchase orders come in as PDFs and emails, someone keys them in, mistakes follow through to picking and invoicing, and customers ring to check status.

  4. 04

    Our systems do not talk to each other

    The ERP, the website, the warehouse scanners and the accounting package all hold a slightly different version of the truth, reconciled in spreadsheets.

  5. 05

    IT covers the office but not the floor or the second site

    Machines, scanners, label printers and the network on the floor are supported by whoever set them up, and the second site runs on a consumer router.

How we help

Drawn from all seven divisions.

Scoped to your organisation. We recommend what fits, not everything on this page.

What you can expect

Measured against what matters in your business.

For manufacturers and wholesalers the measures are quote requests and account applications by source, quote-to-order conversion, share of orders entered without manual keying, order accuracy, time from order to dispatch, customer status calls to the office, and unplanned downtime of systems on the floor. We agree the measures with management before work starts, report on them quarterly, and prioritise integration and automation work according to where the re-keying and the errors actually happen.
