B2B technical distribution, light manufacturing, generalist distribution, omnichannel retail, and high-volume e-commerce — for typical industries that rely on ALDM ERP (ALDM Software): real pain points, activated Azuvio modules, end-to-end flow, and <strong>before/after</strong> KPIs with figures from demonstrable scenarios.
Figures are indicative estimates based on observed patterns from customers in production on ALDM + Azuvio.
Technical Distribution and B2B Equipment
Distributor €10-30M revenue, 3-6 warehouses, technical/automotive parts portfolio
Distributors of materials, electrical goods, or components, stable on ALDM for multi-warehouse and financial management. Major problems arise with digital B2B sales, data synchronization, and the management of tens of thousands of SKUs.
- B2B sales happen via phone/WhatsApp → operators manually input hundreds of lines into ALDM
- Stock visibility to dealers is delayed, leading to orders for non-existent stock
- SAF-T D406 reporting requires intensive manual work for 8.3.x accounts outside the core
- ALDM lacks a native integrated orchestrator for couriers → employees allocate AWBs by guesswork (15-20% higher cost)
- Cash flow blockage in old inventory for slow-moving technical SKUs due to lack of AI Forecasting
- B2B e-Invoice generates semantic rejections in SPV (CIUS-RO rules not applied)
B2B Technical Portal
Industrial customer self-service: live stock, technical sheets, credit limit pulled from ALDM, order history.
Multi-Courier orchestrator
15+ integrated couriers. Automated rules engine to minimize cost per volume/pallet dimension.
SAF-T D406 Reconciler
Automatic monthly reconciliation with ALDM trial balance, without manual data entry.
AI Forecasting SKUs
Analyzes seasonality and history across tens of thousands of technical SKUs directly from the ALDM DB.
e-Invoice semantic layer
Validate 40+ CIUS-RO rules before sending to SPV.
- The technical client logs into the B2B Portal → places a complex order of 120 items, directly from Excel or catalog
- Azuvio picks up the order and instantly injects it into ALDM via mass import
- ALDM automatically validates the credit limit, agreed special prices, and reserves the goods
- Upon completion, the Multi-Courier orchestrator finds the cheapest carrier from 4 options (e.g., Pallex for oversized)
- ALDM issues the invoice → Azuvio validates it semantically according to the CIUS-RO standard and sends it to ANAF
- The manager views the AI forecast reports and adjusts supply orders

Technical distribution (e.g., materials/tools), 90 employees, €21M turnover, 5 warehouses. After implementing B2B Portal and Multi-Courier in 8 weeks, the portal handles 65% of orders. OTIF increased by +19 percentage points, and AI stock optimization unlocked €290k cash-flow.
Mid-size manufacturing (light & assembly)
Manufacturer with €15-25M turnover, 2-4 production lines, multi-channel sales
Companies that produce FMCG, packaging or light assemblies, which use the internal ALDM module for traceability and bill of materials (BOM). However, interaction with large retail chains is costly and opaque.
- Retailers demand EDIFACT messages (ORDERS, DESADV, INVOIC), requiring third-party brokers who charge €8-15k annually
- Raw material planning is based on human assumptions; there is no BOM-aware forecasting
- Pallet-level logistic labeling (SSCC GS1) requires cumbersome manual entry
- Complicated DSD (Direct Store Delivery) due to opaque third-party courier fleet performance
- Difficult synchronization of IKA discounts/promotions in ALDM finance
EDIconnect (Zero broker)
Direct EDI message exchange (ORDERS, DESADV, INVOIC, RECADV) with top 30 retailers in Romania.
AI Forecasting BOM-aware
Calculates the actual raw material requirements considering ALDM BOMs, supplier lead-times, and promotions.
SSCC Generation & Labeling
Complete automation of standard GS1-128 logistic labels.
Multi-Courier DSD
Manages delivery volumes to dozens of IKA points (direct distribution) validating courier SLA.
- Carrefour/Kaufland Order (ORDERS) arrives via Azuvio API → mapped and automatically sent to the ALDM sales module
- ALDM explodes BOMs and issues the assembly/production order
- Upon completion, the operator generates a dispatch note in ALDM. Azuvio retrieves the data, issues DESADV messages with SSCC labels
- Goods depart via optimized courier, ETA tracked in real-time
- Invoice is issued in ALDM. Azuvio simultaneously generates an EDI INVOIC message and sends a semantically validated e-Invoice to SPV

Optimized stock rotation, forecast accuracy increased to 84%, logistics cost reduced by 20%, and an estimated „cash unlock” of 210,000 € from correctly sized raw material inventories.
General Distribution (FMCG & HORECA)
Distributor 15-40M€ annual turnover, 40+ field agents, IKA + Horeca
Traditional distribution companies that own internal and external fleets, hundreds/thousands of active customers monthly, visited physically or via call center. The ERP maintains strict management, but field operations and B2B relationships are unoptimized.
- Lack of automatic real-time stock and price publishing to potential platforms (B2B or marketplace), only batch updates
- The SFA previously connected to the ERP operates rigidly online/offline, causing out-of-stocks for agents
- Daily invoicing to hundreds of customers puts enormous stress on SPV due to e-Invoice semantic errors
- Inability to scale the number of EDI partners without immense messaging fees (DESADV, RECADV)
- Hundreds of calls from customers about order status and fleet delivery ETA.
OMS (Order Management System)
100% integrated order intake from all agent channels, online shops, HORECA, Marketplace.
SFA (Sales Force Automation)
Mobile app for field agents with live-stock ERP, AI order recommendation, and shelf audit.
EDIconnect & e-Invoice Batch
Efficient INVOICE routing to IKA channels (EDI), SPV-ANAF (Semantic CIUS-RO) or B2B Portal.
Fleet & Courier Tracking
Native track & trace for customers: SMS/email delivery alert.
- The field agent generates an SFA order or the customer places a B2B order: the order appears instantly in the ERP, reserving multi-warehouse stock
- The dispatcher groups routes (own fleet + couriers via Multi-Courier)
- The warehouse performs picking, closes the delivery, the ERP issues accompanying notes and invoices (often a centralized batch with tens/hundreds of entities)
- Azuvio takes the financial ERP batch: separates EDI INVOIC for IKA chains and natively validated RO e-Invoice for the rest (HORECA/TRT)
- TRT/Horeca customers receive SMS tracking with delivery ETA

Through the Azuvio layer (OMS Marketplace + EDI + Semantic e-Invoice), the company eliminated the broker, reduced its delivery errors, agents are 100% synchronized with real ERP stock, and manual routing was reduced by over 30 working hours weekly.
Specialized Retail & Omnichannel
Offline+online retailer 10-25M€ turnover, 10-30 stores/locations
Medium-sized retail chains (DIY, materials, electronics, pet), where ALDM excels in in-store management, but critical agility in online channels is missing (synchronizations under 15s with marketplace, Click&Collect scenarios).
- Chronic delays (15s vs 12 hours) in informing eMAG about stock reduce the account rating level.
- The opportunity for integration with Amazon, eMAG, or Allegro is limited by ALDM's capacity to export real-time from the database.
- Omnichannel/Click&Collect operations are completely wasted (online sees old inventory, the store does separate receipts).
- Every e-commerce operator manually types or imports Excel from ALDM into the courier platform.
- Network returns become long logistical blockages.
OMS Marketplace (eMAG, Allegro, etc.)
Real-time connector: Stock sync under 15s, back-to-back order import and confirmation.
Click & Collect Orchestrator
Reserves stock directly at the ALDM location most favorable to the store (Pickup in X hours).
Multi-Courier B2C eCommerce
Integrates 15 couriers (Sameday Easybox, Fan, Cargus). Generates auto-AWB upon ALDM invoicing.
Returns / RMA logic
Automated processing and reconciliation of online returns received offline directly from the B2C platform into the ALDM notations.
- The buyer purchases from eMAG Marketplace or custom eCom Website.
- Azuvio downloads the order instantly, publishing the stock reduction <15s across channels (to avoid overselling).
- The routing engine allocates the order to the central DC or routes it to the inventory of the nearest ALDM working point.
- In the store/warehouse, the operator chooses the courier (automatic print label), issues the invoice in ALDM which sends a valid semantic e-Invoice.
- AWB Track is fully visible, and if the client returns to another store, the return becomes a consolidated cross-branch note.

High-Volume E-commerce & Dropshipping
Pure e-commerce player, hundreds/thousands of orders daily, €5-15M revenue
Massive digital merchants who have kept ALDM strictly as a Financial/Procurement/Stock Register layer (stable back-office) but are overwhelmed by the volume of daily workflows generated by Shopify/MerchantPro/Custom eCommerce.
- Native e-commerce APIs overload ALDM databases by taking over flows too massively/noisily, resulting in timeouts.
- Semantic B2C e-Invoice generation for thousands of in-flow transactions leads to errors and processing blockages on SPV through the classic interface.
- "Last-mile" carrier costs lack decision analysis, failing to intelligently choose courier, locker vs. delivery.
- The lifecycle of a website cancellation is difficult to propagate backward into stock re-allocation from ALDM.
- Manually generated SAF-T by accountants for immense volumes becomes a nightmare.
High-volume <0>OMS</0> Broker
Throttling on the ALDM database connection. Azuvio takes the buffer from Shopify and cleanly introduces the accounting lines.
Multi-Courier Matrix

- Black Friday/Flash Sale day: Shopify / Woo store takes 700 orders in 3 hours.
- Azuvio retains, filters (anti-fraud/OMS), and scales order injection while respecting native ALDM views/limitations.
- The system discharges the ordered stock, automatically chooses the locker/post/courier with the most reliable rate.
- Batch invoices are issued → Azuvio performs instant B2C semantic conversion and sends to ANAF.
- Any received RMA or return is reconverted into available merchandise + automatic credited reversal document in ALDM.
