Distributors
Nomos plans delivery routes and positions stock across your branches, so the right parts sit close to the customers who order them. Talon works the order desk: it answers calls and emails, matches parts, sends quotes, enters orders and files inbound POs, ASNs and invoices.

Inbound Scheduling and Dock Door Assignment
Arriving trailers are prioritized by ETA and assigned to doors with the crew to unload them, reading appointments from your TMS. The plan is redrawn as trucks move, aiming at fewer trailers waiting and fewer doors sitting idle.

Parts Desk Calls Your Team Cannot Pick Up
When your team cannot pick up, Talon answers, verifies the account and pulls its history while the caller is still talking. It reads from the same records your people use and hands back anything it should not decide as a case.
Above are example use cases across distributors.
How We Compare.
| Workflow automation and execution | Planning and optimization | The usual wayWithout Talon or Nomos | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customer calls | Fills in the caller’s profile as the call starts, and picks up the calls your team can’t get to | Handled by Talon | Accounts looked up mid-call, and calls missed when the desk is busy |
| Quotes and orders | Generates quotes and places orders while the customer is still on the line | Handled by Talon | Priced and keyed by hand after the call |
| Stock across branches | Planned by Nomos | Decides where available stock goes, based on demand, cover targets and shelf space | Balanced by hand in spreadsheets and the ERP |
| Deliveries | Planned by Nomos | Plans routes around delivery windows, truck capacity and cutoffs, and redraws them when orders shift | Depends on who is dispatching that day |
