ASiS ERP + B2B Portal + AI Forecasting: Modernise Distribution Without Replacing Your ERP

Two blind spots draining 8-15% of distributor EBITDA
Distributors using ASiS often face two quantifiable challenges:
1. Weak or non-existent B2B Portal → customers place orders via phone/email/Excel → stagnant AOV, low NPS, and high call centre costs.
2. Lack of AI Forecasting → 15-25% overstock on slow SKUs + 8-12% stockouts on fast-movers → trapped cash and lost sales.
Combined, the impact on EBITDA is typically 8-15% for an average distributor.
White-label B2B Portal Smart Layer
Azuvio B2B Portal is a pre-built module that integrates with ASiS to offer your distributors:
HD Catalog with multiple photos, videos, technical descriptions, and PDF datasheets.
Product Configurator (variants, bundles, options).
Self-service ordering with favourites, recurring orders, and "copy previous order" functionality.
Real-time order tracking: status (received, picking, dispatched, delivered) with AWB integration.
AI Upsell: "customers like you also ordered..." + bundle suggestions.
Invoice self-service: download, reprint, and online return forms.
Multi-company / multi-location support per distributor account.
White-label: your brand, your domain, and branded automated emails.
Typical Results:
B2B AOV +15-25%
Call centre time -40-60%
Distributor NPS +30-50 pts
New self-service orders activated +12-20%
Cost: €12-20k implementation + €6-10k/year SaaS.
AI Forecasting Smart Layer
Azuvio AI Forecasting trains ML models on ASiS history + external factors:
Seasonality detection (Summer peaks, Christmas, Back-to-school, etc.).
Promo lift modelling (impact of campaigns on future demand).
Weather correlation (for sensitive categories: ice cream, beverages, seasonal food).
Automated replenishment per SKU and warehouse.
Cannibalisation detection (when a new SKU "steals" volume from another).
What-if scenarios (impact of price hikes, SKU rationalisation, or supplier changes).
Typical Results:
Overstock -30-45% → releasing €30-100k in cash for an average distributor.
Stockouts -50-70% → recovering 2-5% of total revenue.
Forecast accuracy +15-25 pts vs manual Excel planning.
Cost: €15-25k implementation + €8-12k/year SaaS.
B2B Portal + AI Forecasting Bundle
Implemented together (the two most synergistic modules for distribution):
Total Cost: €27-45k implementation + €14-22k/year SaaS.
Cumulative Year 1 Benefits: €80-180k (AOV gains + released cash + new sales + operational savings).
ROI: 3-5x in Year 1, 6-9x in Years 2-3.
Why not wait for native ERP updates?
These capabilities require specialised expertise (ML engineers, modern UX, mobile-first design) that is not the core focus of traditional ERP vendors. The Smart Layer model (Gartner Composable ERP) is a globally accepted architectural pattern—ASiS remains your stable System of Record, while the Smart Layer adds modern functionality without touching the ERP core code.
