AI and order automation for builders' merchants

Webika automates the builders' merchant order desk, entering trade orders that arrive as emailed PDFs into your ERP. An operations assessment costs £4,000–8,000 + VAT / $5,000–10,000, and the order desk automation sprint costs £20,000–40,000 + VAT / $25,000–50,000.

We focus on the ERPs UK merchants run: Kerridge K8, Merlin, and Sage 200. We also check whether AI assistants name you when buyers ask them where to buy.

Order desk automation

Customer orders that arrive as emailed PDFs are checked and entered into your ERP. Orders that fail the checks wait for your team.

Questions

How much does order desk automation cost for a builders' merchant?
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 that sets the scope.
Do you work with Kerridge K8 and Merlin?
They're two of the ERPs we focus on, with Sage 200. How we connect to yours is confirmed during the assessment, and we claim an integration only once we've built or verified it.
Do our customers have to change how they order?
No. Customers keep emailing orders as they do now, and the orders go into the ERP you already run.
