About the Project
Atlas Wholesale Signs manages complex sign-production workflows that move from customer orders through manufacturing, quality inspection, and final shipment. At the same time, its procurement team needs current supplier pricing to make informed purchasing decisions.
Commerce Pundit developed a purpose-built internal platform that brings both functions together. Teams can manage production activity while automated processes collect, compare, and maintain vendor pricing within the same connected system.
Why They Partnered With Commerce Pundit
Disconnected Operations
Customer orders, manufacturing activities, quality inspections, and shipments required better visibility across the complete production lifecycle.
Manual Vendor Price Tracking
Supplier prices change frequently, making manual comparison across vendor websites, invoices, and records time-consuming and difficult to maintain.
Limited Operational Visibility
Teams needed a centralized view of active orders, production progress, quality checks, shipments, schedules, and procurement information.
Solutions Offered by Commerce Pundit
Automated Vendor Price Monitoring
The platform automatically visits supported vendor websites each night to collect current product pricing, stock status, inventory information, and available quantity-based pricing. Failed product checks can be retried, while every successful update creates a timestamped price history record for future reference.
Vendor Price Intelligence
A centralized Price Analysis screen allows procurement teams to compare current prices across mapped suppliers. Products can be searched and filtered, while suppliers are organized by price to make competitive purchasing options easier to identify. Historical records provide visibility into previous prices and their sources.
PDF-Based Supplier Price Updates
Supplier PDF invoices can be uploaded directly into the platform. The system extracts product references, quantities, unit prices, and other available information and matches the data against existing products. Staff can review the extracted information before committing changes, creating a controlled process for maintaining accurate supplier pricing.
Sales & Production Management
Customer records and sales orders are connected directly with manufacturing operations. Teams can create manufacturing orders from sales orders, assign predefined production workflows, and track each manufacturing step through pending, in-progress, paused, and completed stages.
Quality Control Automation
Quality inspections are integrated directly into designated manufacturing steps using configurable checklists. Critical inspection failures can automatically return work to an earlier production stage for rework, helping ensure issues are resolved before products proceed to shipment.
Shipment & Quality Gate
The platform checks whether all required manufacturing and quality-control steps are complete before allowing a shipment to be created. Once approved, teams can manage carrier details, tracking numbers, estimated delivery dates, dispatch status, and shipment progress from the same system.
Dashboard & Operational Calendar
A centralized dashboard provides visibility into open sales orders, active manufacturing orders, pending quality inspections, daily shipments, overdue orders, and active customers. The operational calendar gives teams a monthly view of sales orders, manufacturing deadlines, and shipments, making schedule pressures and overdue work easier to identify.
Workflow & Document Management
Authorized teams can configure production operations, workflows, quality checkpoints, and inspection checklists according to business requirements. Comments, documents, and timestamped change histories are maintained against operational records, keeping important context and activity history accessible within the platform.
