About Corvadex
Corvadex takes the orders and quote requests your customers send you and enters them into your ERP. It's built for industrial distributors and wholesalers whose team still retypes each one by hand, whether it came by email, fax, text or phone
How it started
A book distributor came to me with two problems: supplier prices went stale, so orders were sometimes underpriced before anyone noticed, and their catalog was small enough that customers kept asking for books they didn't list. They had a sense of what would fix it, so we worked it out together and I built it: a system that keeps the catalog up to date from supplier XML feeds. The catalog grew 36x, those books now bring in 20-30% of revenue, the whole team works in it daily, and I still maintain it.
Building it taught me how a distributor that size actually runs, and how much of the work is still done by hand. So I started looking for similar problems and offered to build solutions for a number of companies. Order entry was the one people kept saying yes to, which is why Corvadex is a product rather than a custom system built for each client.
Founder
I'm Denys Bondarenko, and I build Corvadex.
I started as a software engineer at EPAM in Kharkiv. A week after I started working full time, the war in Ukraine began, and I relocated to the company's office in Málaga, Spain, where I still live. I spent three years there building systems for some of the world's largest investment management firms - the data platforms their analysts worked in every day, and the cloud services behind them. All of it ran in production, on their financial data, under their security rules.
After that I built around twenty products independently, for startups and small businesses, from the first conversation to production. One of them replaced a UK nursing agency's 24/7 booking process. Three people had been monitoring hospital portals in shifts, 24 hours a day, matching nurses to open shifts and copying details between systems by hand. Now, one person spends an hour or two a day on the platform I built, mostly confirming everything ran smoothly and handling the unusual cases.
Different industries, same shape as this: people reading things off one screen and typing them into another, 24/7. The work didn't disappear and neither did the team - it changed from doing to overseeing.
Corvadex is what I do full time now.
Where Corvadex is today
Corvadex is early. It's in private beta, and I onboard every customer myself: I set it up on your past orders, load your catalog, connect your ERP and tune the matching to your customers before anything goes live.
If your ERP hasn't been connected before, I build that connection as part of your onboarding. And while Corvadex is this early, what customers ask for is what gets built next. Onboarding is free, and you use Corvadex on your real orders for a month before paying anything. The price after that is agreed in writing up front and locked for a year, below what later customers will pay.
None of that is permanent. The rate goes up for customers who come later, onboarding becomes something I charge for on its own, and the attention a new customer gets now isn't the attention the fiftieth one will get. That's the trade: you take on a young product, and you get terms that won't exist in a year.
