One system.** - Multi-tier pricing, core deposits, bin locations, SOP-ready workflow - Reorder report prefilled by vendor - Vendor part numbers, supplier sourcing, multi-supplier price tracking ### Multi-location HD shops **Run two branches, or twenty, like one business.** - Per-location stock with “available at” awareness - Inter-location transfers with full journal - Per-branch P&L natively (no spreadsheet reconciliation) ### Buying groups & networks **Give your network a real platform moat.** - Cross-dealer inventory search across all members - Trust rings let each dealer control what others see - Paired orders with atomic inventory, GL, and audit on both sides ### Auto repair **Everything a modern shop needs, with room to grow.** - Service orders, DVI, customer portal, scheduling - Full accounting: AR, AP, GL, ACH - Multi-location when you're ready ## From order to payment, in one flow 01. **Take the order** — Counter sale, service order, internal work order, or partner PO. All the same workflow. VIN decode fills vehicle info automatically. 02. **Build the estimate** — Add labor from your guide, parts from inventory (any branch), and sublet work. Send for customer approval, or skip and ring it up. 03. **Complete the job** — Technicians clock time, update DVI, and mark items done. Parts pull from inventory automatically, with transfers if needed. 04. **Invoice & get paid** — One click to invoice. Accept payment, email the invoice, and close the order. All in one place. This is the basic flow. It expands naturally for counter sales, internal work orders, fleet contracts, and cross-dealer orders. ## A complete platform, not a patchwork Meridian replaces 5 or 6 tools your operation might be juggling today with one integrated system. Built for parts distributors, heavy-duty shops, auto repair, and the networks they belong to. - **Multi-Location Inventory** — Per-location stock with on-hand, committed, on-order, min, and max. 'Available at' awareness in the picker, plus a location switcher in the chrome. - **Multi-Entity & Intercompany** — Multiple legal entities under one umbrella. Intercompany agreements, paired transfers, FIFO settlement, consolidated reporting. - **Partner Networks** — Cross-dealer inventory search, ring-based trust, and atomic paired orders across the network. - **Service Orders & Estimates** — Create, track, and close service orders with labor, parts, sublet, and fees. VIN decode, YMM lookup, PM schedules. - **Parts & Inventory** — Multi-tier pricing (cost, list, retail, fleet, wholesale, special), core deposits, unlimited bin locations, vendor part numbers. - **Scheduling & Dispatch** — Visual appointment calendar with technician assignment, type tracking, and customer confirmations. - **Customer Management** — History, vehicles, documents, AR balance, self-service portal, CRM campaigns. - **Accounting & AR** — Payments, aging AR, accounts payable, GL ledger, recurring billing, NACHA ACH batches. - **Digital Vehicle Inspections** — Customizable DVI checklists with condition ratings, photos, printable reports. - **Labor Guides & Time Clock** — Built-in flat-rate guide, per-order tech time clock, payroll prep reports. - **Inventory Transfers** — Branch-to-branch transfers with a full state machine (draft, in transit, received) and a cost-only ledger pair that doesn't inflate revenue. - **Reports & Analytics** — KPI dashboards, revenue by type, advisor sales, gross profit, tech productivity, tax reporting. ## An owner's copilot that reads the business every morning. Foreman watches inventory, vendors, customers, margin, and cash, then surfaces what actually needs your attention. Always cited. Always reversible. Always your call. - **Always cited.** — Every insight links to the rows that produced it. You can audit Foreman's work. - **Always reversible.** — Nothing happens until you confirm. Snooze, dismiss, or act. Your call. - **Always your call.** — Foreman drafts. You decide. Hard rules like terminations and payments always go to a real person. ## Run multiple warehouses like one business. Without losing track of which one. Per-location stock, transfers, and per-branch P&L are built in. Not a $50K add-on module. - **Per-location inventory** — Every part is tracked per warehouse: on hand, committed, on order, min, max. When a counterperson rings a part that's out at their branch, they see exactly how many are at the next-closest one. No phone calls, no “let me check.” - **Inter-location transfers** — Ship between branches with a tracked workflow: draft, in transit, received. Short receipts, over receipts, and cancellations all post the right inventory and journal entries automatically. - **Per-branch P&L and consolidated reporting** — Every journal entry is tagged with the originating location. Run a branch P&L when you need to compare branches, or roll it up to the parent when you need to see the whole business. ## Built for buying groups, not just members. Give your network a real moat: shared catalog, cross-dealer inventory visibility, group purchasing power. Without anyone giving up their books or their customers. - **Each dealer keeps their books and their customers.** When you fulfill a part for a sister dealer, you see a B2B transaction, not their end customer. The customer relationship stays where it belongs. - **Cross-dealer inventory search.** Look up a part across your network and see who has it, where, and how much. Built-in cross-references handle vendor SKU differences. - **Trust rings, per partner.** Decide what each partner sees from you: catalog only, bucketed availability, or wholesale pricing. Per-pair overrides let you fine-tune relationships without lawyering each one. - **Atomic cross-dealer orders.** When a partner places an order, the seller's service order and the buyer's purchase order are created in one transaction. Inventory, GL, and audit trail stay consistent across both dealers. ## Not another watered-down SaaS. Meridian was built by people who know the parts-and-service business. It handles the full complexity of a real operation out of the box (multi-tier pricing, core deposits, ACH batches, intercompany transfers, partner-network orders, AR aging), no add-ons. - Multi-location inventory with branch-aware fulfillment - Intercompany transfers and settlement for multi-entity groups - Cross-dealer search and paired orders across partner networks - Multi-tier pricing, core deposits, and parts-distributor workflows - Full accounting: AR, AP, GL, ACH batch exports - Customer portal, DVI with photos, scheduling, CRM campaigns ### Spec - **Secure by default** — Passwordless OTP, role-based access, audit log on every change. - **Fast and modern** — Built on Next.js 15.
