Choose one to continue — you can switch segments at any time.
The operational intelligence layer that connects your ERP, CCTV, gate logs, and GPS into a single source of physical truth — so you can see, flag, and recover losses before they become month-end write-offs. No new infrastructure required.
Your ERP records every primary dispatch. Your CRM captures every trade agreement. But once goods cross the distributor’s depot gate, visibility ceases. Signal-Oi sits above your existing systems — turning the unmeasured majority of your channel from invisible to structured. No new infrastructure required.
Purchase order, packing list, bill of lading, clearing agent invoice, duty payment, warehouse GRN — six records of one consignment, none of which agree. Signal-Oi fuses them into a single landed-cost timeline per shipment and per SKU, so variance surfaces while you can still act on it.
Signal-Oi serves three segments of the trade and distribution chain. Select yours below to see how it applies to your business.
The Operational Reality
You move enormous value in goods every week, but a complete picture only surfaces at month-end. On the thin net margins typical of distribution — low single digits — a 4–5% shrinkage rate in unautomated warehouses doesn’t compress margin. It cannibalises the entire operating profit.
Administrative errors drive over 20% of inventory discrepancies, and the delay in detection amplifies every loss. The data to stop this already exists — it has never been connected.
Signal-Oi for Distributors
Signal-Oi is not a new ERP, WMS, or tracking app. We plug into the systems you already use — your ERP, CCTV, gate logs, stock cards, and invoices — and fuse them into a single operational timeline.
When an order is received, stored, picked, or dispatched, Signal-Oi automatically cross-checks the physical reality against your ledger — flagging shrinkage and dispatch mismatches in real time, with evidence attached.
Executive Overview — Inventory in motion, leakage under investigation
Evidence Case File — ERP, CCTV & Gate Log fused into one verifiable record
Your CCTV timestamp. Your GRN. Your ERP entry. Your gate log. Fused into one verifiable record — surfacing the discrepancy before the truck leaves the yard.
The Visibility Gap
Your ERP records every primary dispatch accurately. Your CRM captures field rep visits and trade agreements. But once goods cross the distributor’s depot gate, visibility effectively ceases.
Secondary sales data arrives two to four weeks late, self-reported on spreadsheets. The five structural failures below are not caused by lack of data — they are caused by the failure to connect what already exists.
Signal-Oi for Manufacturers
One intelligence layer that sits above your existing ERP and CRM systems — connecting downstream sell-through, distributor inventory positions, and commercial execution signals into a single view your commercial leadership can act on before leakage becomes a month-end surprise.
Sell-through by SKU, territory, and distributor — in near real time
Inventory positions mapped against verified sell-through velocity
The Landed-Cost Gap
A single consignment generates a purchase order, a packing list, a bill of lading, a clearing agent invoice, duty and levy receipts, a transport note, and a warehouse GRN. Each is accurate in isolation. None of them are reconciled against each other.
So the real landed cost per SKU only emerges weeks later, in a finance spreadsheet, long after the selling price was set and the container was released. Shortages get absorbed. Agent charges go unchallenged. Demurrage is discovered on the invoice.
The documents to prevent all of this already exist. They have simply never been connected to each other.
Signal-Oi for Importers
Signal-Oi sits above the systems and documents you already have — ERP, clearing agent paperwork, shipping line portals, transport notes, and warehouse receipts — and binds them to a single consignment record.
Every charge and every quantity is matched to its source document as it arrives, so variance surfaces during the shipment rather than after the quarter. No new hardware. No change to how your agents work.
Your packing list. Your bill of lading. Your duty receipt. Your agent invoice. Your warehouse GRN. Fused into one verifiable consignment record — surfacing the variance while the container is still in your control.
The Design Partner Cohort
We are looking for Manufacturers, Distributors, and Importers who want to directly shape how Signal-Oi is built — and be the first to pilot it in their operations. You are not testing a finished product. You are helping build it.

Data Sources
The benchmarks cited on this page are drawn from published industry research. Where a figure is specific to a market, we say so — the structural problem is not market-specific, but the numbers that measure it are.
