Manufacturing
Supplier, distribution and product visibility beyond your ERP
Industrial markets look opaque from the outside — and from the inside. Distributor pricing, dealer inventories, replacement-part catalogs and competitor product documentation all surface on the public web in fragments that rarely make it into planning systems.
Heroku assembles those fragments into structured intelligence: distributor price monitoring, catalog coverage analysis, competitor product documentation tracking and channel-conflict signals — inputs for pricing committees, product management and channel strategy.
What teams actually do with this
Distributor price monitoring
Public distributor and reseller pricing for your categories, tracked with availability and region context.
Catalog coverage analysis
Which SKUs distributors actually list and feature — versus the agreements in your deck.
Competitor product tracking
Spec sheets, part numbers and product documentation changes monitored over time.
Channel signals
New reseller appearances and public channel-expansion signals as early market-entry evidence.
The observation layer
Where teams start
Most manufacturing programs begin with monitoring and intelligence, then add delivery into internal systems.

Channel-conflict signals from public reseller appearances is clever. That’s evidence procurement has been asking us for without knowing what to call it.
