Dallas
For Dallas wholesalers and the warehouses south of the city: fewer hours spent retyping orders, ASNs and delivery paperwork, on the systems you already run.
Dallas order paperwork comes in two kinds, and they sit on opposite sides of downtown.
Up Stemmons Freeway it is wholesale. The wholesale market center at 2100 Stemmons asks buyers for business credentials before they get in, according to its own site. The hardest week for those order desks is the one after market, when orders arrive in every format at once. We cover that week in detail in order automation for Dallas distributors.
Down I-45 it is freight. In June 2026, a commercial real estate news site reported that both buildings at a new industrial park in Wilmer were fully leased, more than 1.4 million square feet between them. That much new warehouse filling up means more trailers at the doors around it. Each one arrives with an ASN, a packing list and a delivery receipt that someone has to match.
Busy weeks get the attention, but plenty of wholesale errors happen on an ordinary Tuesday. A regional chain sends the same reorder every two weeks. One cycle, its buyer swaps two of the chain’s own item numbers on the sheet without saying so. Whoever keys it has seen that order thirty times and types it from habit, so the wrong two items ship and the store calls a week later.
Post-market buyers rarely use your item numbers either, so a wrong match there turns into a wrong shipment. Our guide to customer part numbers covers fixing that once.
With the work taken off the desk, each order is read and checked the way your most careful person would check it. Only the ones with a real question reach a desk. That reorder with the swapped numbers is held with the two lines marked instead of shipped. The person who answers it is asked once, and the answer is kept for the next cycle.
On a warehouse floor in Hutchins or Lancaster, the paperwork problem looks different. A trailer is at the door. The client’s advance ship notice says 40 pallets of one item, and the packing list taped to the first pallet says 38 plus two of something else. The receiving lead stands at a screen, retyping one document and squinting at the other, while the next carrier waits in the yard.
Receiving goes better when paperwork questions get settled at a desk rather than at the dock door. Every ASN and packing list that reaches the receiving inbox is read in whatever format it came in and matched to the right client, items and units. Your team’s usual checks run on each one. Clean ones go in or wait for approval, and you choose that per client. A shipment that doesn’t line up goes to a person whole, with the gap marked, so a mismatch like that 40-versus-38 is more often flagged before anyone starts counting pallets. Our guide to 3PL ASN receiving walks through that day.
The other end of the trip is the signed delivery receipt. Scanned PODs and bills of lading arrive by email in batches, and billing waits until someone has matched each one to its client and rates. When that matching is done for them, invoices can go out sooner. Fewer loads sit unbilled at month end. More on that is in the guide to proof of delivery processing.
Your ERP stays where it is, and so does the WMS your clients asked for. The work connects to both, so orders and receipts land in the same screens your team already knows.
Some Dallas companies have both: a wholesale order desk upstairs and a receiving dock out back. Both piles feel urgent, and trying to fix them together usually means neither gets fixed well.
The order desk tends to cost you in wrong shipments and unhappy buyers. The dock tends to cost you in held trailers and late billing. Ask which of those your customers or clients have complained about lately, and start there. The other pile can follow once the first one is running.
Automation Results is based in Dallas, and Caden Posey runs it. Most of the work happens by video call, and we come to your office when it helps. Sometimes that means watching your dock for an hour. Sometimes it means sitting beside the person who keys the reorders, because they know things nobody has written down. The work runs on the tools you already use, and your first workflow goes live within 14 days of access to your tools.
If you have both a wholesale desk and a dock, start with whichever inbox was still full at 5 p.m. last Friday. Bring a week of real orders to the audit, mess and all. If the dock was the full one, bring a week of receiving paperwork instead.

When it helps, yes. Most of the work happens by video call, but we’re based in Dallas and can sit with your order desk or receiving team to watch how paperwork really moves.
No. PDFs, spreadsheets, scans and typed emails that reach your order inbox are all read. Each is matched to the right customer, items, units and prices before anything goes in.
No. It runs on the tools you already use, including the WMS your receiving team works in today. Clean paperwork goes in or waits for approval, and you choose that per client.
Nothing. The first step is a free 20-minute audit call. You get a written plan within 48 hours, then a fixed-scope quote, so you know the full scope before deciding anything.
