Meridian Wine Merchants is one of South Africa’s leading distributors of premium wine brands. They work across traditional retail, direct-to-consumer eCommerce, and a growing number of custom ordering portals—all generating orders that need to flow into their ERP system.
But each of those order sources has its own quirks. Some use structured EDI. Others come from open-source storefronts or bespoke client portals. And the team still needs to manage validation, stock mapping, and delivery logistics across every one of them.
That’s where Moditar came in.
Flexible integration without the custom dev headache
We used Utopia — our no-code integration platform — to connect Meridian’s systems across the board:
- Direct EDI feeds from retailers like Pick n Pay and Shoprite
- eCommerce orders from platforms like WooCommerce and Commerce7
- Custom-built portals using client-specific formats
Every integration is mapped, validated, prioritised, and queued for clean processing — no custom scripts or API guesswork. And when Meridian moved from Sage Evolution to Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, the entire integration layer moved with them. No rebuilds required — just a change in destination config.
The result: fewer delays, better visibility, and a much lower support burden for Meridian’s team.
Why it works
We didn’t try to “standardise” Meridian’s channels—we made each one work on its own terms, while still delivering clean, reliable data to their ERP. That’s what makes Utopia different: it adapts to real-world mess, and it keeps working as the business evolves.
If your order systems are multiplying but your process can’t keep up, let’s fix it. We’ll help you bring structure to the chaos without disrupting what’s already working.
