ERP for distributors moving real volume.
Custom ERP for wholesale, B2B distribution, and 3PL. Multi-warehouse inventory, EDI, route optimization, customer pricing tiers, and the integrations your customers demand.
Distribution ERPs from the 90s aren't actually about your customers.
The old guard distribution ERPs (Epicor Eclipse, Infor SX.e, NetSuite Wholesale Distribution) were built for an era when your customers waited on the phone, sent POs by fax, and tolerated 48-hour confirmations.
Today your customers want EDI for big orders, an API for medium orders, a self-serve portal for small orders, and visibility into the order in transit. They expect today-by-3pm shipping cutoffs, not next-week confirmations.
Forcing a 90s ERP to do that costs a fortune in middleware. And the middleware breaks every time you upgrade either side.
A distribution ERP built for how your customers buy now.
We build multi-warehouse inventory with real-time availability, EDI as a first-class citizen (not an add-on), customer portals for B2B self-serve, route optimization for delivery fleets, and tier-based pricing that handles your real customer agreements.
Integrations to your shipping carriers, accounting system, and customer portals are part of the build — not afterthought middleware. Your customers get the experience they expect; your team stops fighting the system.
We ship the modules you need first, then add the rest. Most clients don't need every module on day one.
Multi-warehouse inventory
Real-time stock by location with allocations, reservations, and intercompany transfers. ATP (available-to-promise) across the network.
Order management
Receive orders via portal, API, EDI, manual entry. Single workflow for fulfillment regardless of channel.
EDI
X12 850, 855, 856, 810, 940, 945. Per-partner mappings. Pre-built profiles for major retailers and 3PLs.
Customer pricing tiers
Volume discounts, contract pricing, rebates, promotional pricing — applied automatically per customer per SKU.
B2B self-serve portal
Customer-facing portal: catalog, order history, reorder, invoice access, payment, RMAs. White-labelable.
Pick / pack / ship
Wave picking, batch picking, paperless picking with scanners. Carrier rate shopping for shipping cost.
Route optimization
For own-fleet delivery: route generation, driver assignment, customer ETAs, proof of delivery.
Returns / RMA
Authorize, receive, inspect, restock, credit. Tied back to original order and customer record.
Financials
AR with aging, credit holds, AP, GL — or integrated with QuickBooks/Xero/Sage if you keep accounting separate.
How a custom distribution ERP gets built.
Same structure every time. We ship the first module to your team in 4–8 weeks, then build the rest while they're already using it.
- 01
Discover
1–2 weeks. We sit with your team, map workflows, and pick the first module to ship.
- 02
Architect
1–2 weeks. Data model, integrations, deployment topology. Documented before any code.
- 03
Build slice 1
3–5 weeks. First production module — usually the highest-pain part of your current workflow.
- 04
Build slices 2–N
1–3 months. Additional modules deployed continuously. Each integrates with the existing data model.
- 05
Run
Ongoing. We stay on after launch — bug fixes, new features, integrations as your business changes.
Built to integrate with the systems you already use.
The integrations below come up most often for distribution operators. Anything with an API is fair game — these are just the common ones.
- QuickBooks / Xero / Sage
- ShipStation / EasyPost
- FedEx, UPS, USPS, regional LTL APIs
- EDI VANs (SPS Commerce, TrueCommerce)
- 3PL APIs (ShipBob, ShipMonk)
- E-commerce (Shopify, BigCommerce)
- Marketplaces (Amazon, Walmart)
- Sales tax (Avalara, TaxJar)
- Payment (Stripe, Authorize.net)
- BI (Metabase, Looker)

The proof we ship ERPs.
Clear answers
for complex builds.
Clear answers on timelines, pricing, ownership, and what shipping actually looks like with a senior engineering team.
Often, yes — and the cost case is usually compelling when license fees and customization debt have piled up. We'd run a discovery to scope the migration, including data migration, EDI partner re-onboarding, and parallel running. Most replacements take 6–9 months including migration.
We treat EDI as core, not an add-on. We can do direct AS2 / SFTP connections or integrate with a VAN (SPS, TrueCommerce). Most distributors end up with both — VAN for the long-tail of smaller customers, direct for the highest-volume relationships.
Standard build. We integrate inventory, orders, and fulfillment with Amazon Seller, Shopify, BigCommerce, and Walmart Marketplace. Inventory sync is real-time; orders flow into the same fulfillment queue as direct B2B.
Yes. Multi-entity is designed in from day one if you have multiple sister companies. Multi-currency at the transaction level, with FX rates pulled from your accounting system or a market feed.
NetSuite Wholesale is a solid product if your operation is standard and you don't mind the license costs. Custom wins when your operation has real differentiators — non-standard pricing, unusual fulfillment, deep customer-portal customization, or AI-driven workflow needs.
