Industry Guide · Food Distribution
The order desk still runs on a fax machine and a spreadsheet nobody trusts.
Orders come in by phone, fax, and email, sometimes all three for the same account in the same week. Someone on your team keys each one into the ERP by hand, checks it against the price list, and hopes nothing gets missed before the truck loads.
When that person is out, orders slow down. When they're rushed, mistakes ride out on the truck. The work isn't hard; it's just constant, and it doesn't scale with another location or another rep.
The fix isn't a bigger team. It's taking the order desk off manual entry entirely.
