Meet Melrose at the FMI Supply Chain Forum.

The grocery supply chain back office runs on manual work: keying orders from every retailer portal, fixing vendor EDI, scheduling DC appointments, reconciling OTIF chargebacks. Melrose automates it, so your team moves more product without adding headcount. Grab time with us in Kansas City.

  • Order entry, vendor EDI, and appointment scheduling on autopilot
  • Live in weeks, with your TMS and WMS, not instead of them
  • A working session, not a pitch

Book a meeting at the forum

Tell us one workflow you want gone. We will build the automation and show it running when we meet in Kansas City.

No spam. We will only use this to set up time at the forum.

Workflows people bring us

Bring one manual workflow. Leave with it automated.

Tell us the workflow when you book. We build it against your kind of data and show it running the moment we meet, not a canned demo. A few we hear all the time:

Every retailer routes orders through a different portal, and someone re-keys each one into our system.
Order management · CPG supplier
Vendor EDI breaks and we don't find out until an ASN gets rejected at the DC.
EDI lead · grocery supplier
DC appointment scheduling is a phone-and-email loop for every inbound load.
Inbound ops · retail distribution
OTIF chargebacks land weeks later and reconciling them against the shipment is fully manual.
Supply chain · CPG
We re-key every load tender from a PDF into the TMS by hand.
Transportation · food distributor
Matching POs, ASNs, and invoices for three-way match eats a person's whole day.
AP · grocery wholesaler
Carrier packets get reviewed by hand before we can cover an inbound to the DC.
Carrier ops · 3PL
Detention at the distribution center gets billed late because nobody catches it in time.
Ops · refrigerated carrier
Chasing PODs before we can invoice the retailer holds up cash every week.
Billing · food logistics
Temperature and lot data comes in on paper and someone types it into the WMS.
Quality · cold chain 3PL
Status updates to our retail accounts are all manual, all day.
Customer service · supplier
Appointment reschedules from the DC never make it back into our TMS without someone forwarding an email.
Dispatch · grocery hauler
Accessorials slip off invoices because nobody reconciles them against the rate.
Billing · carrier
Orders arrive on email, spreadsheets, and screenshots. Someone re-types all of it.
Ops lead · distribution center
We track down missing ASN 856s by hand before every retailer compliance deadline.
EDI analyst · CPG
