The Challenge

A food distributor wanted to expand its online ordering capability but relied on a legacy ERP that had no native support for modern websites.

Previous advice suggested replacing the ERP would be the only viable long-term solution.

The Solution

ModernisERP connected the existing ERP directly to the company's website, synchronising:

The platform synchronised:
‍

Products
Customer pricing
Online orders

Orders submitted through the website were automatically created within the ERP, ensuring operational staff continued using familiar workflows.

The Outcome

The business successfully introduced digital ordering without replacing its ERP or changing existing operational processes.

The project delivered:
‍

Automated product synchronisation
Accurate customer pricing
Direct ERP order creation
Reduced manual administration
A scalable platform for future integrations
