Transcript

00:00To private equity sponsors and operating partners here in Las Vegas: your post-acquisition value creation shouldn't be trapped in forty-page slide decks.

00:11At DataOngoing, we measure our work strictly in basis points of EBITDA. Two hours of executive input returns hundreds of automated hours, proven in our 100x time ledger.

00:24First, a 48 to 72-hour AI technology diligence read to price technical debt before wiring capital. Second, compressing your 21-day multi-entity close down to 3. Third, automated floor-to-ledger data ingestion straight into NetSuite.

00:44We ship working code in 14-day sprints. If it does not run in production, the milestone is not billed. Visit DataOngoing.ai to schedule a private advisory session.

EDI and Multi-Store Fulfillment Live in 36 Hours

A retail partnership required real-time EDI and multi-store fulfillment syncing. An incumbent integrator quoted $140,000 and 16 weeks. We delivered production integration in 36 hours with no middleware subscription.

The problem

A major retail partnership demanded real-time EDI transaction sets and multi-store fulfillment syncing. The incumbent systems integrator quoted $140,000 and a 16-week timeline built on a middleware platform carrying its own monthly subscription.

What we did

We bypassed third-party middleware entirely and implemented a direct, idempotent native integration pipeline in 36 hours: streamed orders, fulfillment webhooks and inventory availability in real time, with automatic subsidiary tax routing.
