The Challenge: Scattered Product Information
Manufacturing & distribution companies often deal with product information spread across various systems:
- Technical Data: Stored in the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning).
- Marketing Information: Found in the PIM (Product Information Management).
- Stock Data: Managed in the Warehouse Management System (WMS).
This spread of information can make it tough to provide accurate, up-to-date product details to your distributors and supply chain partners.

Tailored Information for Distributors
Each distributor gets tailored data, including specific pricing and stock information. This customisation ensures that your distributors have the exact information they need, improving their efficiency and satisfaction. In a workflow, we combine all that data with customer appointments/wishes and deliver, without calculating any more.
Real-Time Access
Distributors can access relevant information in real-time through user-friendly portals or APIs. This real-time access ensures they always have the most up-to-date information, reducing the chances of errors and delays.
Reduced Backoffice Load
By automating the integration of product information, Hyperfox significantly reduces the workload on your backoffice team. They no longer need to prepare and manage information manually, freeing up their time for more strategic, value-added tasks.
Automated Order Processing
The integration also facilitates automated order processing, making your entire supply chain more efficient. Orders can be processed quickly and accurately, reducing lead times and improving customer satisfaction.
