Data-Bridge Friction Scan
From $2,500

Every Order Your Team Re-keys by Hand Is a Chance to Lose a Customer.

A fixed-scope scan that finds every manual "human API" between your systems, prices what it is costing you, and hands you a fix list before the next ASN rejection or late shipment.

Running a 3PL? This friction isn't only your cost, it's your client's risk too.

Price
From $2,500
Flat fee for most operations, fixed in writing within one business day of the scoping call and invoiced half to get us started, half on delivery. A broader systems footprint raises the quote before you sign, never after.
Guarantee

If we find less than 10 hours a week of manual re-keying between your systems, we refund every dollar you've paid. Three coordinators at eight hours each already puts you at two and a half times that floor.

This scan stands on its own and nothing continues automatically after it. If you decide you want us to build the fix, the fee you already paid comes straight off that project's price.

How It Works

Call → Scan → Verdict

You know the price, the timeline, and the paperwork before you commit to anything.

01

Scoping Call & Quote

Thirty minutes of specific questions about systems, coordinators, and order flow. With your OK we record it, so the specialists who run the scan size it from your words. Flat quote in writing within one business day, guarantee included.

02

The Scan

About a week, and fourteen days at the outside. Screen-shares with your coordinators map every bridge, each one priced in loaded hours, and nothing touches your live systems.

03

The Verdict

The Friction Map, ranked Fix Now / Fix Later / Leave Alone, with a walkthrough. The fee credits toward the fix if we build it.

One page of paperwork, e-signed before any data moves, then we invoice you directly.

Who This Is For

Built for One Specific Buyer

You run NetSuite or Dynamics 365 Business Central

Your coordinators re-key order, ASN, or inventory data between your WMS, EDI feed, and ERP

You've had ASN rejections, order errors, or inventory mismatches traced back to "someone typed it in wrong"

You suspect the fix is a data flow, not a headcount problem

FAQ

Straight Answers

01

Does this need to go through procurement?

Almost never. This is scoped to typically fall within a Director or VP's discretionary spend limit.

02

What access do you need, and is it secure?

No system access is required at all. This scan runs through structured interviews and screen-shares with your team, and nothing touches your live environment.

03

How long does it take?

About a week from our first shadow session, ending with a walkthrough call. Fourteen days is the guaranteed outside edge, and if we pass it we refund the fee.

04

Is this fully remote?

Yes. Shadow sessions happen over screen-share with your coordinators.

05

What if you don't find much?

Less than 10 hours a week of manual re-keying found means we refund every dollar you've paid. We count the hours your own coordinators walk us through, so you can check the arithmetic yourself.

06

What happens after you get the report?

You get a prioritized fix list you can hand to your own team. If you'd rather we build it, the scan fee you already paid comes off the price of that project.

07

Should I run this instead of the OTIF Scan?

If you're bleeding retail deductions, start with the OTIF Scan. This one is often the natural next step once a miss traces back to ASN/EDI timing.

08

Why don't you quote a price on the call?

Because the people who size the work are the specialists who run it, not the person selling it. They scope from the call itself (with your OK, we record it) and you get the flat number in writing within one business day. Once quoted, it doesn't move.

Pairs with: the OTIF Deduction Scan, since deduction misses traced to ASN/EDI lag usually start here.
