With Resolve, Marshall Wolf Automation eliminated backend bottlenecks, streamlined net terms, and made it easier for both online and offline customers to buy with confidence.

 

Meet Marshall Wolf Automation

Marshall Wolf Automation is an independent and women-owned industrial controls distributor with both online and offline sales channels. For over four decades, they've supplied customers in industrial automation and manufacturing with controls and technical support. They were balancing long-standing, relationship-driven sales with a growing eCommerce footprint.

This dual-channel model means they must support two very different types of buying behaviors: traditional B2B customers placing orders through account reps, and modern digital buyers expecting fast, seamless checkouts. As both segments grew, Marshall Wolf's operations team needed to modernize their approach to payments and credit without compromising service or creating operational drag.

The Challenge: Complex Growth, Manual Workarounds

Marshall Wolf was scaling fast, but not everything was keeping up. Like many distributors, their finance and operations teams were juggling too many tools, too many manual steps, and too many delays.

  • Cash flow was tight. Big orders were great but hard to front without a net terms partner.
  • Credit approvals were clunky. The team was stitching together workarounds across NetSuite, BigCommerce, and Resolve.
  • Customers needed clarity. Buyers wanted fast checkouts, clear payment options, and reliable communication.
"We were tricking the system to make it all work," said Director of Technology  Tyler Jensen. "It wasn’t sustainable."

 

The Fix: Integrated Credit and Checkout

Resolve stepped in to help Marshall Wolf offer net terms more confidently—while saving time and creating a better experience for everyone.

Credit That Works Like a Charm
Resolve made it easy to offer flexible net terms to more customers without slowing down approvals or increasing risk. The platform handled credit checks and payment chasing so Marshall Wolf didn’t have to.

"It’s taken the stress out of offering terms," said Jensen. "Now we say yes to more customers and spend less time worrying about collections."

Less Admin, More Flow
By connecting Resolve to both BigCommerce and NetSuite, Marshall Wolf eliminated duplicate entry, manual syncing, and hours of backend busywork. Invoicing became automated. Customer records stayed clean. Everything just...worked.

A Checkout That Converts
B2B buyers can now apply for net terms directly at checkout, get real-time approvals (via Plaid), and complete orders on the spot. Even hesitant customers are now opting in because the process is fast, clear, and seamless.

What Changed

Since rolling out Resolve, Marshall Wolf Automation has:

  • Cut down on internal back-and-forth between systems
  • Reduced support requests related to payments and invoicing
  • Improved customer satisfaction with faster, more flexible checkouts
  • Built a more consistent, scalable backend for AR and operations
