Same Team, More Orders

 
A ten-person team runs the entire EDI-to-ship pipeline, with no added headcount.
"Home Depot and Lowe's expect every supplier to meet the same EDI and compliance standards, regardless of company size. OrderEase gives us the automation to meet those expectations consistently while keeping our team focused on growing the business instead of managing paperwork."

Director, Fence Armor

THE CHALLENGE

Home Depot and Lowe's hold every dropship supplier to the same EDI standards, regardless of headcount. Purchase orders, shipment notices, and invoices all have to move on time, correctly formatted, every time. Handled by hand, that means someone re-keying orders between the EDI feed and fulfillment, manually pushing tracking back to each retailer, and cross-checking invoices line by line. For a ten-person team, that adds up fast.

THE SOLUTION

Fence Armor runs its Home Depot and Lowe's EDI orders through OrderEase, which sits between the retailers' EDI feeds and Fence Armor's fulfillment stack. Orders land and move to fulfillment automatically, route straight to ShipStation for picking, packing, and labeling, then sync tracking back to both retailers and post invoices straight into QuickBooks, all on their own.

The Journey

Fence Armor manufactures American-made steel post protectors designed to shield wood, vinyl, and metal fence posts from damage caused by string trimmers, lawn mowers, and everyday landscaping equipment. Its product lineup also includes RotGuard™, an advanced ground-line post rot barrier made from SBS-modified bitumen, a polymer-enhanced waterproofing membrane engineered to help prevent moisture intrusion at the most vulnerable section of a fence post. The lineup is completed with durable galvanized steel post caps and post guards, all finished with a premium powder coating for long-lasting performance.

Fence Armor supplies customers through Home Depot and Lowe's dropship programs while also selling directly through its own e-commerce channels. Despite operating with a lean team of just ten employees, the company consistently meets the same rigorous EDI, order tracking, invoicing, and compliance standards required of every major retail supplier.

Since implementing OrderEase in 2022, Fence Armor has streamlined both retail partnerships through a single automated workflow, enabling the company to maintain retailer compliance, improve operational efficiency, and scale without increasing headcount.

About the Company

Founded in 2009 by manufacturing and field-service professionals, Fence Armor set out to solve a common, costly problem. Fence posts rot and deteriorate from everyday outdoor exposure, and that simple problem led to a growing line of patented, American-made post-protection products. The lineup includes PostGuard™ galvanized steel post protectors, RotGuard™ ground-line rot barriers, and Cap Claw™ post caps, whose patent-pending gripping system fits snugly on standard 4×4 and 6×6 posts without added fasteners. Today, homeowners, contractors, distributors, and major retailers across North America rely on Fence Armor to protect residential, commercial, agricultural, and municipal fencing investments for the long term.
