For Acumatica resellers and partners
Your distribution clients keep asking about PO entry. Their customers send messy emailed POs—scanned PDFs, customer part numbers, UOM mismatches—and parsers don't fix that. MasterDesk builds the matching rules, validation logic, and exception review on top of their Acumatica instance.
Your clients' PO entry problem isn't an ERP problem.
It's a data problem. Parsers can read the text off a PDF, but they don't know that “ABC-12345” is the customer's part number for your client's SKU “BOLT-M8-50”. They don't convert “box of 100” to eaches. They don't apply contract pricing. And they don't flag exceptions for a person to review before posting to Acumatica.
That's where MasterDesk comes in. I build the cross-reference tables, the UOM conversion rules, the pricing validation, and the exception review queue. Your client's inside sales team stops retyping, and you stay their ERP partner.
Two ways to work together
Referral or white-label, depending on how you'd rather handle it with your client.
Referral
- You introduce your client to MasterDesk
- I build and support the PO automation on top of their Acumatica instance
- You stay their ERP partner and VAR; no turf war
- Your client gets the PO entry problem solved without pulling you into a custom build
White-label
- I build the automation under your name
- You own the client relationship and billing
- I handle the technical build and support behind the scenes
- Your client sees it as your solution, delivered by you
What you're actually getting
This is a small, new practice run by one automation engineer in Evanston. I'm not an agency, and I'm not handing builds off to a team. You get me, directly, building the automation and supporting it when something breaks.
I've built an AI invoice automation in Make for a multi-supplier retailer with 20+ suppliers. It replaced an earlier parser-based build that had failed. Fuzzy vendor matching so slight name variations didn't break the workflow. Category tax logic that applied the right rules per product type. Total validation to catch invoices where the line items didn't add up. About 200 hours a year saved.
MasterDesk applies the same approach to purchase orders for fastener and MRO distributors on Acumatica. If your client has messy POs and an inside sales team retyping them, this is built for that problem. If their POs are already clean and they just need basic parsing, they probably don't need this.
Acumatica only, on purpose
No Business Central. No Sage. No NetSuite. One ERP done well instead of six ERPs done halfway. The Acumatica REST API is stable, well-documented, and designed to be used. Your clients already run on it. That focus lets me build the matching rules and validation logic instead of fighting a different API every month.
That narrow scope also means there's no ERP turf war. I build PO automation on top of Acumatica. You stay their VAR and their ERP partner. Plain scope, honest limits, no surprises.
Let's talk about a client
If you have a distribution client on Acumatica whose PO entry is a mess, let's talk through whether MasterDesk would be a fit for them. 15 minutes, and I'll tell you honestly if it makes sense or if they'd be better off with a simpler tool.
