How Lafayette went from ERP exports to reorder intelligence

Lafayette is a wholesale and distribution business running a self-hosted JIWA ERP. We built a read-only intelligence layer that turns their sales and stock data into reorder recommendations, at-risk customer alerts, and supplier purchase plans.

The problem

Spreadsheets showed problems after the fact

Keeping on top of stock and customers meant manual work every week:

Export sales and stock data from the ERP by hand

Scan spreadsheets to spot customers who stopped ordering

Work out what to reorder from each supplier manually

Find problems only after revenue has already slipped

The solution

One intelligence layer on top of the ERP

We connected to JIWA read-only and built the modelling on top, so the team sees what changed, why it matters, and what to do next.

01

A read-only link to JIWA

A secure connector pulls sales and stock data on a schedule. Nothing is built or changed inside the ERP.

02

Exceptions, not reports

Customers and SKUs are profiled by ordering pattern, so late, lost, or reduced orders surface with the evidence behind them.

03

Reorder and supplier plans

Reorder recommendations are grouped by supplier into purchase plans the team can act on.
