Merlin ERP order processing automation for distributors

Webika's Merlin ERP order processing automation takes the purchase orders customers email to you and enters them into Merlin as sales orders, for UK distributors and manufacturers. The order desk automation sprint costs £20,000–40,000 + VAT / $25,000–50,000, after an operations assessment at £4,000–8,000 + VAT / $5,000–10,000.

This page describes the approach. How the automation connects to Merlin is confirmed during the assessment, and we claim a working Merlin integration only once we've built or verified it.

How order automation connects to Merlin

  1. Orders arrive by email

    Customers email purchase orders to your order desk inbox as PDF attachments, as they do now.

  2. Checked against Merlin

    The customer, products, quantities, and prices on each order are checked against your records in Merlin.

  3. Entered into Merlin, or held

    Orders that pass the checks become sales orders in Merlin. Orders that don't wait for someone on your team to review.

Before the sprint

  • The operations assessment confirms your Merlin version and setup, and how orders will reach it.
  • The sprint aims to have emailed orders flowing into Merlin in about six weeks.
  • Customers keep ordering by email, and Merlin stays your system of record.

Questions

How much does Merlin ERP order processing automation cost?
The order desk automation sprint costs £20,000–40,000 + VAT / $25,000–50,000. It follows an operations assessment at £4,000–8,000 + VAT / $5,000–10,000, which confirms how orders will reach Merlin and sets the exact price.
Does this replace our Merlin ERP system?
No. Your Merlin ERP system stays where orders live. The automation enters orders into it instead of your team retyping them.
Do we have to change Merlin or how customers order?
No. Customers keep emailing orders, and the orders go into the Merlin system you already run.
