Agile Integration for Manufacturers & Distributors Who Sell Direct
You’re not just making the product anymore — you’re stocking it, shipping it to wholesale partners, and selling it direct to customers, often all in the same week. Patchworks unifies ERP, production, warehouse and storefront systems into one connected layer, so growth in one channel never creates chaos in another.
Supporting complex retail operations across fast-growing brands
Unify ERP, production data and your storefront for true direct-to-consumer manufacturing
EDI and trading partner onboarding without the compliance overhead
Selling wholesale means playing by someone else’s rules — EDI formats, retailer compliance windows, partner-specific documentation. Patchworks handles the EDI transactions between your ERP and your trading partners automatically, so onboarding a new retailer or distributor takes days, not months, and nothing falls through the cracks at scale.
Multi-warehouse and 3PL order routing that scales with demand
As you add distribution centres, 3PLs, or new markets, order routing gets complicated fast. Patchworks routes orders to the right warehouse or fulfilment partner automatically, based on stock levels, location, and partner rules — so a spike in DTC demand or a new wholesale account never means rebuilding your fulfilment logic from scratch.
One inventory truth from production line to storefront shelf
The gap between what’s been produced, what’s sitting in the warehouse, and what’s shown as available online is where oversells and stockouts start. Patchworks keeps inventory data flowing in real time across every connected system, so what your customer sees online always matches what you can actually ship.

Digitising the manufacturer-to-distributor network
Connect ageing ERP, MRP, or on-premise systems to modern storefronts and trading partner networks without a rip-and-replace. Patchworks acts as the translation layer between legacy infrastructure and the tools your business runs on today.
Automate the flow of purchase orders, ASNs, and invoices between your ERP and every trading partner, eliminating manual data entry and compliance risk. Onboard new retailers and distributors in days, not months, without adding headcount to manage the exchange.
Handle wholesale-specific order structures — pallet quantities, case packs, and multiple units of measure — without breaking your inventory or pricing logic. The same product data that powers a single DTC unit sale also drives a 500-unit wholesale order, correctly, every time.
Automatically route orders to the right warehouse, distribution centre, or fulfilment partner based on stock levels, location, and partner-specific rules. As you add 3PLs or new markets, your fulfilment logic scales with you instead of being rebuilt.
Keep product data, pricing, and stock availability consistent across every regional distributor and international partner, so nothing gets out of sync as your network grows across borders and currencies.

Frequently asked questions
The best fit depends on how many trading partners and channels you’re running. For manufacturers selling both wholesale and DTC, look for manufacturing ERP software that handles EDI compliance and real-time ecommerce sync — not just one or the other. Patchworks connects ERP, EDI, and storefront systems on a single platform, built specifically for brands running both models at once.
The key is keeping inventory, order, and product data in sync across both channels in real time, rather than managing DTC and wholesale as separate systems. Patchworks connects your ERP, ecommerce platform, and wholesale/EDI channels on one platform, so a DTC sale and a wholesale shipment draw from the same live stock data.
Good distribution management software should route orders across warehouses automatically, keep inventory accurate in real time, and handle EDI compliance without manual intervention. Patchworks does all three by connecting your existing ERP and warehouse systems, rather than requiring a rip-and-replace.
MES-to-ERP integration means syncing production data — output, quality checks, batch tracking — with your ERP’s inventory and order records in real time. Patchworks connects MES and ERP systems directly, so production data updates inventory and availability across every downstream channel automatically.
Patchworks handles the major EDI standards used across manufacturing and distribution trading networks, including X12 and EDIFACT, alongside common transport methods like AS2 and SFTP. That means new retailers and distributors can be onboarded without custom development for every partner’s format.
Integrated manufacturing software removes the manual re-entry and lag between production, inventory, and sales data. That means fewer oversells, faster order fulfilment, and accurate reporting across every channel — without a team manually reconciling spreadsheets between systems.
