The Problem

Industrial sales runs on
broken manual processes.

Every order touches too many hands, waits too long for approval, and gets lost between WhatsApp, spreadsheets, and SAP. The result: slow deliveries, lost sales, and teams spending their day chasing paperwork instead of customers.

130 min
Average quote-to-invoice time

Reps manually read customer messages, look up SKUs, type quotes, and send PDFs. A process that should take seconds takes hours.

40 min
Wasted on payment verification alone

Finance teams manually cross-reference bank receipts against open orders. One person going home means delayed shipments for the whole day.

20%
Of small orders lost to friction

Orders under $5k frequently take 3 or more hours to process. After 4pm, missed cutoffs mean next-day delivery or a lost sale entirely.

Module 01 · Automated Quoting

Inquiry in.
Quote out. Every time.

Customers send orders however they work: a WhatsApp message, a photo of a handwritten list, an email. Axial reads it, resolves SKUs against your live ERP catalogue, and returns a branded PDF quote in under 3 seconds. No rep involvement required.

Order Intelligence · Add-on

Axial surfaces upsells automatically. Past orders show SELLO-ORG-12 is usually paired with this SKU and it gets added to the draft quote before the rep even notices.

Module 03 · Fulfilment Visibility

Every order. Every stage.
One place.

Axial gives sales, finance, and warehouse a shared live view of every order in the pipeline. No more calling finance to check payment status. No more forwarding screenshots to the warehouse. Every team sees exactly where an order is, what is blocking it, and who needs to act next.

Module 04 · Inventory Intelligence

Buy smarter.
Stock less. Sell more.

Axial segments each distributor's clients by purchasing behaviour, geography, and order frequency to build stratified demand forecasts per SKU, per branch. Purchasing teams get evidence-based recommendations to restock what will sell and redistribute what will not, eliminating both stockouts and surplus.

FAQ

Questions we hear often.

How long does it take to go live?
Most distributors are live within 5 business days. We handle the ERP connection, team onboarding, and testing. You don't need an IT project. Axial connects to your existing SAP, Oracle, or Dynamics setup without structural changes.
Does Axial replace my ERP?
No. Axial sits on top of your existing ERP and automates the work that happens around it: reading orders, verifying payments, updating records. Your ERP stays your source of truth; Axial removes the manual steps getting data into it.
Which payment rails does Axial support?
Axial currently supports Mexico's SPEI via Banco de México and Brazil's PIX. Colombia PSE is in progress. If your market uses a different local rail, reach out. We build integrations based on customer demand.
What if a payment is partial or fails verification?
Axial handles three payment states automatically: confirmed, partial, and failed. For confirmed payments, orders release instantly. For partial payments, the order is flagged and the relevant team is notified to decide. For failed payments, the order stays on hold and Axial continues scanning until the transfer clears.
Does my sales team need to change how they work?
Minimal change. Customers keep ordering however they already do: WhatsApp, email, image. Axial reads those messages and creates the structured data automatically. Reps spend less time typing and more time selling.
Is Axial only for Mexico?
No. Axial is built for LatAm industrial distributors across Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia, with more markets on the roadmap. The platform is designed to localise to each country's payment rails, language, and ERP landscape.

About Us

We're building the operating system
for industrial commerce.

Axial was founded after watching a top-performing distributor lose orders every day. Not from bad sales, but from bad processes. Manual quote entry, delayed payment approvals, disconnected warehouse teams.

We're a small team of engineers and operators building automation that actually fits how LatAm distribution works: WhatsApp-first, ERP-dependent, and running on tight margins.
