The problem

Your team is buried in busy work instead of growing the business.

01

Too much time on repetitive tasks.

Entering orders, chasing updates, pulling reports. Your people spend hours every day on work that doesn't move the needle.

02

Valuable data sitting unused.

You've got years of sales, customer, and inventory data locked in your ERP and spreadsheets. Nobody has time to dig through it.

03

Hard to grow without adding headcount.

More customers means more work. Hiring is expensive and slow. You need a way to do more with the team you've got.

Solution

AI that learns your business and does the work.

Whitespace connects to your email and ERP, learns how your business runs, and takes the most time-consuming work off your team.

About

Your AI partners for wholesale distribution.

Our founders both grew up seeing their parents run wholesale distribution businesses. We’ve seen firsthand how much manual work holds these businesses back.

Having spent the last years working in the technology industry building AI for some of the world’s largest companies, we wanted to bring the same technology to the businesses that keep the physical economy running. This is why we built Whitespace.

01

Works with your systems.

We plug into your existing ERP, email, and tools. No rip and replace. Your team keeps the workflows they know.

02

Your data stays safe.

All of your data is private, and end-to-end encrypted. Your data is never used to train AI models.

03

An AI Operating System.

A company brain that knows your business and AI agents that do the work, supporting your whole operation, not one-off tasks.

01 How long does it take to get set up?
Most businesses are live within 2–4 weeks.
02 Do I need to replace my ERP?
No. Whitespace sits on top of the ERP you already use.
03 What if the AI makes a mistake?
We calibrate the agent to your operation before it goes live. You decide what it handles on its own and what gets routed to your team for review. Every correction trains the model, so accuracy compounds over time.
04 Do I need to hire someone to manage the AI?
No. Your existing team stays in control. They review exceptions instead of doing the repetitive work.
05 Is my customer and order data secure?
We take data security seriously. Talk to us about your specific requirements and we’ll walk through how we handle your data.
06 What kinds of businesses is this built for?
Wholesalers and distributors of any good. If your team spends time on manual work like entering orders or pulling reports, we can likely help.
07 What does it cost?
Pricing depends on your order volume and the workflows you want to automate. Book a call and we’ll walk you through it.
