Could you build this?
Partial While an AI workflow dashboard or RAG system over wholesale catalog and CRM data can be vibe-coded, deep integration with legacy, on-premise wholesale ERPs (like Epicor Prophet 21, Infor, SAP) and domain-specific inventory/pricing edge cases require substantial specialized systems work.
What it would actually take: A production implementation requires building bidirectional connectors for archaic distributor ERP systems (often SOAP, EDI, or proprietary SQL databases) with robust syncing and transactional rollback safety. The stack would rely on Next.js/FastAPI, Celery/Temporal for idempotent orchestrations, and fine-tuned LLMs or prompt chains grounded in complex wholesaler pricing matrices and catalog mappings. The primary hurdle is handling unstructured wholesale order formats (PDFs, legacy EDI 850/855) and interfacing safely with fragile enterprise ERP backends.
