Ongoing engagement where GrainFly sits alongside your leadership team for high-stakes technology decisions.
GrainFly Consulting is built for distributors navigating technology decisions that are too important to get wrong — and too specific to trust to a generic consultant.
Vendors are pitching you hard and making promises. We've worked inside this industry and can cut through the noise to tell you what will actually work for your operation.
AI is real, but the hype is louder than the results for most businesses. We'll help you identify where AI will actually move the needle for a distributor like you — and where it won't.
Manual processes that worked at $10M start breaking at $30M. We'll assess exactly where the friction is and give you a prioritized plan to fix it before it limits your growth.
We don't do 6-month studies. Our engagements are designed to get you to a decision — with confidence — in weeks, not quarters.
We learn your operation, systems, team, and the decision in front of you. Free, no commitment. We'll tell you quickly if we're the right fit.
We define the deliverable, timeline, and fee upfront — no hourly billing surprises.
We interview your team, review your systems, evaluate vendors, or do whatever the engagement requires. We work fast and ask good questions.
You get a clear, written deliverable — a findings report, vendor recommendation, or roadmap — that you can act on immediately.
For clients who want continued access, we offer a monthly advisory relationship — a standing call, questions answered, and a direct line to our team.
We cover the decisions that matter most to distributors navigating technology change.
We know the leading ERP and warehouse management systems in building products distribution — their strengths, their weaknesses, and which ones are right for your operation.
Where AI adds real value in distribution operations — and where it doesn't. We help you build a realistic roadmap grounded in your actual workflows.
Order flow, inventory sync, pricing APIs, EDI — we assess your integration landscape and identify the gaps creating manual work and errors.
We map your current workflows — order entry, inventory management, fulfillment, customer service — and identify where technology can remove friction.
When a vendor solution exists and when you need custom development. We give you a clear-eyed framework for the most expensive decision in technology.
If a technology project is off the rails, we'll assess what went wrong, help you decide whether to continue or cut losses, and build a path forward.
Most technology consultants learn your industry from scratch. We already know it.
Tell us what you're working through and we'll schedule a no-commitment discovery call.
