TellParrot for Logistics & Supply Chain

Consistent locations, carriers and SKUs — end to end

Automation amplifies whatever data you feed it. TellParrot masters the reference records your TMS, WMS and ERP disagree on, so routing, billing and analytics stop tripping on mismatches.

The problems we solve for logistics teams

One warehouse, six spellings

The problem

Locations entered slightly differently across systems break route optimisation, misdirect freight and fragment cost analysis.

How TellParrot solves it

Location golden records resolve names, addresses and codes across systems with fuzzy and exact matching; survivorship selects the authoritative form while preserving every variant with provenance.

→ Routing and analytics keyed on canonical locations.

Carrier and customer duplication corrupts costing

The problem

The same carrier under multiple codes, the same customer across brands — landed-cost and profitability numbers wobble because entities aren't resolved.

How TellParrot solves it

Entity resolution consolidates carriers and customers with steward-approved merges; the knowledge graph relates them to lanes, contracts and invoices.

→ Costing and profitability on resolved entities, not aliases.

SKU data breaks at the boundaries

The problem

Dimensions, weights and classifications differ between ERP and WMS. Slotting, cartonisation and customs all pay the price.

How TellParrot solves it

SKU golden records master attributes with per-field survivorship; quality rules catch impossible values and gaps before they reach operational systems.

→ Physical operations planned on physically-correct data.

Partners need data you can stand behind

The problem

EDI feeds and partner portals amplify internal inconsistencies into commercial disputes.

How TellParrot solves it

Governed exports deliver golden records outward on schedule, with receipts recording exactly what was sent and acknowledged.

→ Partner-facing data with a delivery paper trail.

How TellParrot keeps reference data consistent end to end

Automation amplifies whatever you feed it — TellParrot masters the locations, carriers and SKUs your systems disagree on.

Frequently asked questions

Can TellParrot keep up with operational data velocity?

Reference/master data is TellParrot's focus — locations, carriers, customers, SKUs. Ingestion is scheduled or event-driven (webhooks, Power Automate, Event Hub), with background processing that won't block your systems.

How do we get clean data back into TMS/WMS?

Governed exports to SQL databases, webhooks and Microsoft targets, on schedules, with delivery receipts. Your operational systems consume golden records like any other feed.

What happens when two systems genuinely disagree?

Survivorship rules decide per field (most recent, most trusted source, most complete), stewards can override with full context, and the losing values remain preserved with provenance.
