Holland & Barrett

Holland & Barrett doesn't run EDI. Traditionally that meant re-keying every purchase order by hand. Supply Lens changes that. We receive your Holland & Barrett orders by email, read the Excel purchase order attached and turn it into a sales order in your ERP automatically, with nothing typed in twice.

What's Covered

A spreadsheet, handled properly.

Reading an Excel purchase order reliably takes more than opening the file. Supply Lens handles the detail.

Excel Template Handling

Read the Holland & Barrett purchase order layout exactly, including headers, line rows and totals.

SKU Mapping

Map the product codes on the sheet to your own items once, so every order arrives ready to pick.

Validation

Check each order for missing codes or odd quantities before it reaches your ERP.

Multi-PO Emails

Handle emails that carry more than one purchase order or more than one sheet.

Delivery Routing

Route each order to the right warehouse or 3PL from the delivery details on the sheet.

Audit Trail

Keep the original email and Excel file linked to the sales order for a clean audit trail.

Edge Cases Handled

Spreadsheets
are messy.

Excel purchase orders drift over time: columns move, formats change, the odd blank row appears. Supply Lens handles the mess so a bad sheet never becomes a bad order.

"Holland & Barrett changed the spreadsheet layout and our import broke."

The mapping lives at the Supply Lens layer, not hardcoded in a script. When the sheet changes, one update at the mapping keeps every order flowing without touching your ERP.

"One email arrived with three purchase orders in it."

Multiple purchase orders or sheets in a single email are separated and read individually, so each one becomes its own sales order rather than one jumbled import.

"A product code on the sheet didn't match anything in our system."

Unrecognised codes are caught before the order is created. The order goes to an exception queue with a clear note, so nothing is guessed at or silently dropped.

"We only found out an order existed when the delivery date had passed."

Every Holland & Barrett email is picked up the moment it lands, so an order cannot sit unread in an inbox waiting for someone to notice it.
