Data Flow
Industries

Technology should fit the way your business works.

Manufacturers, distributors, retailers and digital commerce businesses run on different operating models. The systems and data that matter change with them.

We design around how products, orders, stock and customer information actually move through your business.

Where we focus

Different operating models, different priorities.

For each industry: what tends to be complicated, which systems need to stay connected, and where Davidson typically helps.

Manufacturing

What tends to be complicated

Complex bills of materials, product variants and production planning, with B2B customers expecting accurate availability and lead times.

What needs to stay connected
ERPProduction & inventoryProduct dataOrdersCustomer accounts
Where Davidson helps

ERP implementation and improvement, PIM for technical product data, and B2B portals connected to stock and pricing.

Distribution & logistics

What tends to be complicated

Customer-specific pricing, high order volumes and stock spread across warehouses and locations, with thin margins for error.

What needs to stay connected

Where Davidson helps

Integration between ERP, warehouse and commerce, B2B ordering portals and automation of order and purchasing workflows.

Retail & FMCG

What tends to be complicated

Large product ranges, frequent pricing and promotion changes, and customers moving between stores and online channels.

What needs to stay connected

Where Davidson helps

Retail ERP, product information management, loyalty and customer data, and reporting across physical and digital channels.

Digital commerce

What tends to be complicated

Online channels depend on accurate pricing, stock and product data from systems the commerce team does not directly control.

How we adapt

The industry changes the details.

Three questions shape every architecture we design.

Which system owns which data?

We decide where product, price, stock, customer and transaction data should be mastered.

Where do teams hand work off?

We identify hand-offs that cause delays, duplicate entry or inconsistent information.

What does the customer need to see?

We connect digital channels to accurate pricing, stock, product and order information.

Clear data ownership
Fewer manual hand-offs
Accurate customer-facing information
Common problems

The same problems show up in different ways.

Across industries, these are the issues we are most often asked to solve.

Information is inconsistent

Different systems hold different versions of the same product, customer, order or inventory data.

Processes depend on workarounds

Spreadsheets, email and manual hand-offs fill the gaps between systems.

Digital channels are out of step

The website or portal shows one thing while pricing, stock or fulfilment systems show another.
