What arrives on the desk

Recurring replenishment lists, site-by-site PPE orders, and compliance-driven orders that name a standard rather than a product.

What makes this vertical different

These are the details that decide whether an order is right, and the ones that generic document automation treats as ordinary text.

Size is a line attribute that changes the SKU

One line reading gloves, cut level A4, sizes M through XXL is several SKUs with a quantity split across them. Flattening it into one line is wrong, and the split is rarely stated in a structured way.

The standard is sometimes the specification

Orders that name ANSI or equivalent standards rather than products require a person to select conforming items. FrontBeacon surfaces the requirement against the line rather than attempting the selection.

Multi-site replenishment fans out into ship-tos

A single purchase order covering several locations is several deliveries. The ship-to structure is part of the order's meaning and is kept on the draft.

The Order Desk queue. Four summary tiles show orders needing attention, orders ready for the ERP, the auto-pass rate and the queue total, above a table of orders with their line counts, how many need review, and a status of Blocked, Needs review or Ready to export.
The queue, ordered so the blocked work is first. Every company name here is invented for our demo environment, and the percentages are properties of that fixture rather than a measured production rate.

What we do not do

FrontBeacon prepares the order. Your ERP stays authoritative for pricing, credit, availability, tax and freight, and a person on your desk approves every order before it becomes an import file. We do not release orders, choose substitutions, or make commercial decisions on your behalf.

Common questions

Can it split a size-range line into individual SKUs?
It surfaces that the line covers several SKUs and routes it for review. Where the split is stated unambiguously in the document it is proposed; where it is not, a person decides. It will not invent a distribution across sizes.
