Three ways GrainFly delivers value

Whether you're drowning in manual order entry, sitting on surplus inventory, or navigating a complex technology decision, we have a solution built for your world.

01 / HARVEST

Automated Order Entry

Customer orders arrive by email, text, or phone call — and your CSR team re-keys every one of them. GrainFly Harvest reads inbound orders automatically and pushes them straight into your ERP, eliminating manual entry entirely. It also captures customer questions and tracks them to resolution.

  • Reads email, text, PDF, and voice orders automatically
  • Pushes directly into your business system — no rekeying
  • Tracks customer questions alongside orders
  • Processes orders 24/7, including after hours

02 / SALVAGE

Your Discontinued Inventory Store

GrainFly Salvage mines your ERP for SKUs that have gone quiet — discontinued, never sold, sitting too long — then gives the branch its own online store so the customers already buying from you can buy it instead.

  • Ranks dead stock from your ERP, not a guess at the aged-stock report
  • Photo and basic details — 2–3 minutes per item
  • Your own storefront, for the accounts you already sell to

03 / CONSULTING

Strategic Consulting

Not every problem has an off-the-shelf solution. GrainFly's consulting practice works directly with distributor leadership to assess technology gaps, evaluate vendors, and design AI and automation strategies tailored to your operations.

  • Operations and technology assessment
  • Vendor evaluation — no referral fees
  • Fixed-scope engagements, not open-ended hours

Built for the building products industry

We don't build generic software. Every GrainFly product is designed around the specific workflows, systems, and constraints of building products distribution.

60%+

of contractor orders still arrive via email, text, or phone — and require manual entry into ERP systems.

3–7%

of a typical distributor's annual inventory goes dead each year — and when it moves in bulk, the liquidator sets the price, not the branch.

2–4%

error rate for manual order entry, leading to mis-picks, returns, and damaged customer relationships.

24/7

GrainFly Harvest processes orders around the clock — no more next-morning backlogs from after-hours submissions.
