Problem
Mid-market distributors often receive orders through multiple channels—EDI portals, marketplaces, email, and PDFs—requiring separate integrations and manual data entry. This fragmented approach leads to ERP contamination, manual errors, and slow fulfillment, limiting the ability to scale efficiently.

The platform automates each step of the order lifecycle, from receipt to delivery, while maintaining a clean ERP system. Standardized workflows and a complete audit trail ensure data integrity and reduce manual intervention. By handling the complexity of disparate integrations, Shep enables distributors to achieve faster, more accurate order processing and to scale operations without additional custom development.
