CASE STUDY

ERP and automation for a refurbished hardware reseller

A refurbished computer reseller serving government and private sector buyers ran sales, purchasing, inventory and accounting as disconnected processes. We built a centralized ERP that syncs eBay orders automatically, posts transactions to QuickBooks in real time, and tracks freight in transit through custom carrier bots.
