Company Mapping and product roadmap
Nordic Parts SIA
One order flow from email to invoice would free about 30 hours a week and let sales answer quotes the same day.

What we see
Nordic Parts distributes spare parts for trucks and farm machinery to workshops in the Baltics. Most orders arrive by email and phone from about 400 repeat customers.
- Orders arrive as email PDFs and phone calls, not through the website.
- Stock levels are checked by calling the warehouse.
- The website has a contact form but no customer login.
- Invoices are created by hand in the accounting system.

Orders entered once, synced everywhere
High priorityAn office assistant types each emailed order into the ERP, then again into a stock sheet.
An order inbox that reads emailed PDFs, creates the ERP order and updates stock in one step.
Orders are confirmed within the hour and stop going missing between systems.
02
Customer portal for repeat orders
High priorityWorkshops call or email to ask for prices, stock and order status.
A login for customers with their prices, live stock and past orders, connected to the ERP.
Repeat customers order on their own, and sales spends the time on new accounts.

Invoices created from delivered orders
Medium priorityInvoices are typed in the accounting system after delivery notes come back.
Invoices drafted automatically when an order is marked delivered, checked and sent in one click.
Invoices go out the same day and fewer payments are late.

A dashboard with sales by customer, margins and slow-moving stock, updated from the ERP.
Management sees problems during the week, not after it.
