Customer and retailer programs
Price lists, contracts, volume tiers, allowances, and promotions linked to the customers and products they apply to.
Customer and retailer programs
Pricing, rebates, promotions, deductions, and chargebacks on one trail.
The invoice price is rarely the final economic result. Meridian connects commercial terms to the order and fulfillment history that produced them—so finance, sales, and operations investigate from the same record.
Deductions and chargebacks
Open the order, shipment, invoice, and program terms from one exception trail when a retailer short-pays or claims.
EDI order-to-cash
Purchase order, confirmation, ASN, and invoice as operational documents—not attachments stranded outside the process.

Lot, expiry and quality
Built around the realities of food operations.
Fulfillment is not only about quantity on hand. It is about the lot that can ship, the shelf life that still meets the customer’s rule, the hold that must clear, and the commercial terms that still apply when the truck leaves.

Customer-specific pricing and programs
Gross-to-net margin
From purchase order to true economic result.
Meridian’s unified operating model for commercial programs connects pricing, promotions, rebates, allowances, deductions, chargebacks, claims, accruals, and settlements to fulfillment history. It is not presented as an automatic replacement for every capability in adjacent trade-promotion products.

Operational data ready for Microsoft Fabric and Power BI
Phased adoption
Coexist with SAP. Connect operational data to Fabric.
SAP and similar ERPs can remain systems of record. Microsoft Fabric can remain the enterprise analytics, data, BI, governance, and AI platform. Meridian becomes the operational execution and orchestration layer for orders, commercial terms, EDI, inventory, production, logistics, exceptions, settlements, and finance.
One painful process
Start with deductions, order-to-cash visibility, or program accruals—without a day-one ERP replacement.
Retire what is redundant
After proving value, retire spreadsheets, interfaces, and point solutions where the business case is justified.
Expand on the same foundation
Add adjacent domains using the same data, workflow, security, and audit model when results support it.
QualificationMeridian is not a replacement for Microsoft Fabric. Integration patterns depend on the customer’s architecture and the production readiness of each connector. Capability availability follows Meridian status labels.
Start with the process everyone knows is harder than it should be.
Bring one workflow—deductions, program accruals, EDI order-to-cash, or lot-constrained fulfillment—and we will map where Meridian could simplify execution without presuming a full-platform replacement.
