Monday planning time saved per planner per week

Across pilot teams averaging 250 active SKUs per planner

Same day

Average ERP integration setup time for supported connectors

No data engineering team required in any pilot integration

Pilot case studies

A mid-size industrial hardware distributor operating three distribution centers, approximately 1,200 active SKUs, and a two-person planning team. Monday planning was taking the entire morning.

Kellbridge connected Routeharvest to their Orion ERP on day one. Within the first two weeks, the weekly plan was landing in the planning team's inbox every Friday afternoon, covering all three DC locations at the SKU level.

Monday time

Cut from 4 hours to a 15-minute inbox review

Stockout alerts

3 caught in first month, all with 5+ week lead time

The stockout alerts alone paid for the first three months. The Monday reconciliation time was a bonus.

Director of Supply Planning, Kellbridge Industrial (early-access pilot)

A regional food-service manufacturer with significant seasonal demand variation, two production facilities, and a distribution network covering four Midwest states. The seasonal planning window was a recurring crisis each year.

Varela integrated Routeharvest with their Cadence ERP and Nexbridge WMS. The per-SKU seasonal ramp modeling surfaced a pre-season overstock risk on three lines that had not been visible in the category-level plan.

Overstock risk

3 product lines flagged before the pre-season PO was placed

SKU granularity

Regional DC-level forecasts replaced category aggregate

The SKU-location granularity was the part I did not expect. Our previous tool gave us category-level forecasts that missed the slow-moving SKUs at regional DCs.

More from the pilot program

I was skeptical about same-day integration. We had been told that before and it always meant three weeks of IT tickets. Routeharvest was actually live in a single morning. Read-only credentials, pointed at the ERP, done.

Senior Supply Chain Planner, Midwest auto-parts distributor (pilot program)

What surprised me was the dead inventory side. We were focused on stockouts, but the first report flagged four SKUs at our Denver DC that were running at 20% of model velocity. We would have ordered another run before catching it ourselves.

Director of Operations, specialty chemical distributor (early-access cohort)

We have two planners for 850 SKUs across five locations. The Monday rebuild was half their week. Now it is a 20-minute review. They are spending the saved time on supplier relationship issues that actually needed human attention.
