Case study · ERP and POS for distributors · Tampa
The ERP and POS platform wholesale distributors run on, engineered by Opervex.
Elevate's platform had outgrown its first build. We took over the engineering, moved it onto infrastructure Elevate owns and made it fast enough for its distributors' warehouse floors.

No safety net
Fixes went straight to live stores with nothing to catch a mistake.

Scanning, units of measure and cash drawers.

Approvals, partial fulfillment, a full activity trail.

Freight spread across lines, so every margin is real.
