AI reads. Your business logic decides. Your team approves.
For hardware, tool and security equipment distributors and their inside sales desks.
What You Get
AI Order Desk
Store reorders, contractor POs and integrator project lists become sales orders.
AI Procurement Desk
Manufacturer and freight invoices checked against the PO, the receipt and the price book.
A hardware and security distributor sells a long tail: hand and power tools, fasteners, door hardware, and the cameras and alarm panels a security integrator installs.
UpBrains AI reads each store reorder, contractor PO and integrator project list, matches every line to your item numbers and price levels, and leaves exceptions for inside sales.
Approved quotes, sales orders and matched supplier invoices post to the ERP you already run, against the item master your buyers maintain.

Each order mixes many small items, from fasteners to padlocks to camera kits, and each supplier invoice must agree with the current manufacturer price book.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a hardware store reorder become a sales order?
The reorder arrives by email or as a spreadsheet, and each line of hand tools, power tools, fasteners and padlocks is matched to your item number and the store’s price level. Your team reviews the lines that need a decision, and the rest post to your ERP as one sales order.
Can it read a security integrator’s project list?
Yes. A project list of cameras, recorders, access control readers, door hardware and alarm panels is read line by line and matched to your catalog, with the manufacturer part number kept beside your own. The rep confirms the project pricing before the quote goes back on the same thread.
What happens when a customer orders a discontinued tool model?
The line is flagged with the replacement models your item master lists, each with a short reason for the match. A person picks the substitute, and the order posts once every line is settled.
Can it check supplier invoices against manufacturer price books?
Supplier invoices for tools, locks and electrical gear are compared with the purchase order, the receipt and the current manufacturer price book. When a price or quantity falls outside your tolerance, the invoice waits for an approver, and a matched invoice goes on to payables.
