For distributors and wholesalers

Orders, stock and invoices in one place, so nothing gets retyped.

We build custom operations software for distributors and wholesalers. Click through a working demo, then tell us what your mess looks like.

2 minutes, no sign-up. Best on a laptop or desktop. The demo uses invented data. Yours would be built around your orders.

Tracline ERP.

A sales order workspace for an industrial distributor, designed to the standard of shipped enterprise software. The demo works: search, filter, sort, drag, create and bulk edit orders.

Tracline, Meridian Systems and every customer, person and figure on these screens are invented.

Tracline ERP orders table with bulk actions and status pipeline
01

Work the queue and the order at the same time

Open an order and the list stays beside it. No jumping between screens.

Tracline sales orders table with order SO-10247 open in a side panel showing line items, GST totals and related documents
1

The panel docks, it does not overlay. The table makes room instead of hiding — you keep the whole picture while you work on one order.

2

Read top to bottom. Fields, line items, totals, related documents and activity stack in the order the job is actually done.

3

The open order stays findable. The row you're working on stays highlighted while the table scrolls — you never lose your place.

4

Actions follow state. A picking order offers Mark shipped; a held order offers Release hold. Each one really moves the order.

02

Start the day knowing what needs you

Orders grouped by what needs attention. Overdue goes red, thin margins go amber.

Full sales orders table grouped into Requires action, In fulfilment and Completed, with twelve columns
1

Flags say why. Over credit limit, Safety certs, Change request. When space runs out the flag truncates first; the customer name never does.

2

Group totals live in the Total column, to the cent, so a stage reads as one number without scanning rows.

3

Risk shows as colour. Overdue dates turn red and thin margins turn amber — trouble is visible before it costs money.

03

Numbers finance can trust

Subtotal, GST and total agree to the cent on every order.

Line items table for SO-10247 with a backorder tag, followed by Subtotal A$44,480.00, GST A$4,448.00 and Total A$48,928.00
1

Backorders are tagged in place and link to their own backorder document with a supplier ETA.

2

Hidden lines keep their value. Four visible lines plus the remaining fourteen equal the subtotal exactly.

3

GST is 1/11 of the inclusive total, rounded once. Subtotal, GST and Total agree to the cent on every order.

04

Approve ten orders in one click

Bulk actions skip what doesn't apply, tell you what they skipped, and can be undone.

Three draft orders selected in the table, with a floating bulk action bar offering Approve, Allocate stock, Print pick lists and Email customer
1

Select all is honest. It skips collapsed groups and shows a partial state when only some orders are ticked.

2

Bulk actions respect state. Approve only moves drafts and skips the rest, says what it skipped, and offers Undo.

05

Update an order without opening it

Change status where you see it, from the keyboard if you like.

Status menu open on order SO-10244, listing Draft, Confirmed, Picking, Shipped, Invoiced and On hold, with Confirmed ticked
1

Built for speed. The whole screen works from the keyboard, so your busiest people update orders without ever reaching for the mouse.

2

The menu speaks the table's language. The current state is ticked and each option carries its status colour.

06

See where everything is stuck

One toggle turns the list into a board, with counts and dollars per stage.

Pipeline board with six status lanes from Draft to On hold, each showing order cards with value, customer, payment state and due date
1

Every lane is a report. Count and value sit in the lane header, so the board answers how much is stuck where.

2

Cards lead with value. Flags, payment state and past-due dates stay visible at card size.

3

Drag to change status. Every move is logged and offers Undo — a mistake costs seconds, not phone calls.

07

Approve with the full story in front of you

Why it's needed, what it costs, what's left in the budget. No chasing for context.

Tracline approvals queue grouped into Waiting on you, In progress and Decided, with request REQ-3108 open in a side panel showing the case, budget and approve, question and reject actions
1

Grouped by whose move it is. Waiting on you, In progress, Decided — the queue opens on the four requests that are actually yours, each group totalled to the cent.

2

Waiting time is policy, not trivia. Three days against a two-day target is called out on the request itself, so slow approvals surface before anyone chases.

3

The case travels with the request. Why it is needed and what happens if it is not approved are written by the requester and sit above the numbers — the decision reads in one pass.

4

Decisions happen in place. Approve, ask a question or reject right in the panel; the approval route is printed on the request, and nobody approves their own.

08

Know where a delivery is without calling the driver

Drivers tick off stops on their phone and the order updates at your desk.

Tracline driver app showing Run M1-07 with four stops in drop order, units per stop, ETAs and a late-load flag
1

The order shows its delivery, live. Scheduled, Loaded, Arrived, Delivered — Run M1-07's tracker sits on the order and moves as the driver works.

2

The queue knows what's on a truck. Orders out for delivery are flagged in the list the morning they ship.

3

One saved view for the road. Out for delivery collects every order currently on a run, beside My accounts and Overdue payment.

4

The run is one screen in the cab. Stops in drop order with units, ETAs and exceptions like a late load — tap a stop and the desk sees it instantly.

Predictor, a multi-year infrastructure planning platform across dashboard, map and data views
Case — shipped product

Predictor.

A multi-year infrastructure planning platform — dashboards, maps and data views that let organisations plan capital works years ahead and defend every dollar of it.

Designed end to end by our founder during his years at Brightly (acquired by Siemens): the information architecture, the data visualisation, the workflows planners actually follow.

We spent many years designing enterprise platforms used daily by the teams who depend on them. That is the standard your build gets.

What enterprise takes

Why this work is different

Data-dense UX

Thousands of rows, dozens of states, one glance to understand. Tables, filters and dashboards designed for people who live in them eight hours a day.

Real workflows

Approvals, handoffs, exceptions, audits. We map how the work actually happens before a single screen gets drawn.

Design systems

Component libraries and standards that keep a platform consistent across hundreds of screens and years of new features.

AI where it earns it

Summaries, triage and automation built into the workflow — the same AI machinery that runs this studio's own lead pipeline.

Tell us what's slowing you down

A system that can't keep up. Numbers that live in six spreadsheets. Work your team retypes three times. Tell us what's getting in the way — we read every enquiry ourselves and come back with an honest read on what's worth fixing first, and what it would do for your business.

And if forms aren't your thing, let's just chat over a coffee — no slides, no hard sell, bring the messy spreadsheet.
