AI Consulting
Dedicated AI expertise for your distribution business. Solutions designed around your specific operations, your data, and your competitive position. Everything we build belongs to you.
Intelligence built exclusively for your business.
AI Consulting is how most distributors work with Torinit. You engage our team as your dedicated AI partner — from the initial discovery workshops through production-grade deployment and ongoing optimization.
The solutions we build are designed around your specific workflows, your customer data, your ERP, your pricing structures, and your competitive dynamics. Not an industry template. Not a product configured for your use case. Custom intelligence that reflects how your business actually operates — because that's what creates advantage that competitors can't replicate.
Everything we produce — every process map, every architecture, every model, every line of code — belongs to you. Full ownership. No licensing fees. No restrictions on how you use it, extend it, or build on it. You own the intelligence and the competitive advantage it creates.
When the advantage needs to be yours alone.
Your challenges are specific to your business.
The quoting bottleneck at your branches isn't identical to the one at your competitor's. Your customer mix, your pricing agreements, your supplier relationships, your branch network — they create a unique operating reality. You need intelligence designed for that reality, not adapted from a general-purpose product.
You want full control over the roadmap.
You decide what gets built, in what order, and how it evolves. Your priorities drive the investment. If market conditions change and you need to pivot from inventory optimization to pricing intelligence, that's your call — not a product vendor's roadmap committee.
Your data is your moat.
The intelligence we build learns from your transaction history, your customer behavior, and your operational patterns. That data — and the models trained on it — stays entirely within your business. No anonymization into an industry benchmark. No shared models. No other distributor benefits from your data.
You need it integrated, not bolted on.
Your team works in Epicor, Prophet 21, Infor, NetSuite, SAP, or another core system. They're not going to switch to a new tool. Consulting-built solutions integrate directly into the systems your people already use — so intelligence becomes part of the daily workflow, not another application to manage.
What it's like to work with us.
This is not a deliverable-over-the-wall engagement. Our consulting team embeds with your people. We sit in your branches. We join your sales huddles. We watch your warehouse operate. We learn the shortcuts, the workarounds, and the decisions that never made it into a process document.
The Torinit team assigned to your engagement includes:
Consulting Lead: who runs discovery and stakeholder alignment
UX Designers: who shape the experience your people will actually use
Data Engineers: who understand your ERP and data ecosystem
AI Engineers: who build the intelligence layer
Throughout the engagement, your leadership team has full visibility. No black-box development. No surprises at the end. Decision points at every stage — discovery readout, solution design review, pilot results, launch planning — where your team validates direction before anything moves forward.
What you're investing in.
The investment in an AI consulting engagement reflects the depth of work involved — not a rate card multiplied by hours.
Discovery means your team and ours in a room together, mapping real workflows, identifying real opportunities, and building a roadmap grounded in your actual data and operations.
Solution Design means a working proof of concept your team can test — not a presentation.
Production Development means a fully integrated, security-reviewed system that your people can depend on every day.
Launch means hands-on training and adoption support until the tool is embedded in daily operations.
Ongoing Monitoring means the intelligence stays accurate as your business evolves.
Engagements range from focused single-workflow assessments to enterprise-wide intelligence transformation programs. The scope is always defined together before any commitment, with clear deliverables and decision points at every stage.
What this looks like in practice.
Most consulting engagements begin with Discovery — our structured assessment of one or more business workflows. From there, the path depends on what we find:
Focused Engagement Path
A distributor focused on quoting might move through Discovery, Solution Design, and Build in a single engagement — going from mapped workflow to production-grade AI-powered quoting in under 6 months.
Multi-Phase Intelligence Roadmap
A distributor with broader ambitions might start with a multi-workflow Discovery that maps commercial and operational intelligence opportunities across the business, then prioritize and build sequentially — tackling pricing intelligence first, then inventory optimization, then demand planning — over 12-18 months.
Rapid Intelligence Assessment
Some distributors begin with our Rapid Intelligence Assessment — a focused 2-3 day engagement on a single process — to see our approach before committing to full Discovery.
Every path is different. Every path starts with understanding your business first.
The right engagement depends on the problem.
