DISTRIBUTION AUTOMATION

Distribution Workflow Automation (Canada)

Canadian distributors juggle rate quotes, confirmations, dispatch, PODs, and invoicing. We connect the dots with n8n + AI so your team focuses on customers, not data entry.

Typical Pain Points

Quote Chaos
Quotes and lane rates scattered in inboxes/spreadsheets with slow manual lookups.
Dispatch Updates
Manual dispatch updates and missed SLAs lead to customer dissatisfaction.
POD & Invoicing Delays
POD capture and matching delays cause AP/AR lag and billing errors.

Our Approach

n8n + AI Orchestration

Workflows across email, TMS/ERP/CRM, and storage systems work together automatically.

Smart Parsing & Classification

AI classifies inbound quotes, RFQs, and PODs, then routes them automatically to the right workflows.

Canadian Hosting & Auditing

Event-driven updates with complete audit logging, all hosted in Canada for PIPEDA/FIPPA compliance.

Example Workflows

  • Quote-to-Dispatch: Parse RFQ → enrich with lanes/surcharges → auto-reply with quote → write to CRM/TMS → notify ops
  • POD Intake: Watch shared mailbox → OCR proof of delivery → match to order → push to ERP/AP → notify customer
  • Exception Alerts: Missed update or SLA → escalate in Teams/Slack → create ticket with full context
