Buyer proof model
Assumptions that should be proven during the pilot.
Counter lookup time
Baseline
Staff search ERP screens, paper notes, or shelves when SKU/bin data is unclear.
Target
Find SKU, bin, on-hand, and substitute context in under 30 seconds.
Proof source
Scanner lookup flow and product table.
Buyer value
Counter service speed: Reduce repeated SKU/bin searches across the pilot category.. Improves trade-counter confidence without forcing a full ERP migration.
Receiving variance visibility
Baseline
PO mismatches are discovered late or handled verbally.
Target
Flag quantity and location exceptions during the receiving session.
Proof source
Receiving session status and scanner event log.
Buyer value
Receiving accuracy: Capture receiving exceptions at the scanner event level.. Gives branch managers a cleaner path to fix inventory discrepancies.
Will-call readiness
Baseline
Counter teams lack a fast view of staged orders and missing parts.
Target
All pilot will-call orders show ready, hold, or exception state.
Proof source
Will-call queue and bin assignment fields.
Buyer value
Stockout prevention: Surface reorder risk for high-velocity SKUs in one branch.. Protects revenue on frequently requested trade supplies.
Pilot KPI scorecard
What the buyer should review before expansion.
Lookup acceptance
Branch users validate 50 high-volume SKUs with bin and substitute context.

Proof points
What makes the model credible.
Faster counter service, fewer blind bin checks, and cleaner reorder decisions for branch managers.
The pilot proof centers on SKU lookup speed, receiving accuracy, will-call readiness, and exception visibility across one high-volume category or branch.
Counter lookup time: Find SKU, bin, on-hand, and substitute context in under 30 seconds.
Receiving variance visibility: Flag quantity and location exceptions during the receiving session.
Trade supply inventory software pilot package: $22k-$40k setup and $1k-$3.5k/month recurring.
