Why Your Distribution Business Needs a Modern ERP System
Running a successful distribution business involves far more than moving products from point A to point B. Without the right systems in place, operational bottlenecks can quietly drain profits and erode customer trust. If you’re experiencing any of these common challenges, it may be time to consider a distribution ERP.
Inventory Headaches
Struggling with stock-outs, overstocking, or discrepancies between physical inventory and system records? Poor visibility can lead to lost sales, unnecessary carrying costs, and customer frustration.
Order Fulfillment Delays
Manual order entry and disconnected processes can cause shipping errors and delayed deliveries, hurting both efficiency and your reputation.
Lack of Real-Time Insights
Relying on spreadsheets or outdated software for reporting? Without real-time visibility into inventory, orders, and sales, you’re left making reactive decisions instead of proactive ones, putting you at risk of falling behind competitors.
Operational Silos
When inventory management, sales, accounting, and fulfillment systems don’t communicate, data gaps lead to costly errors and duplicated work.
Soaring IT Costs
Managing multiple disconnected systems across different platforms leads to mounting expenses—licensing fees, custom integrations, and ongoing support quickly add up.
Costly Customizations
Many entry-level ERP systems can’t handle the complexities of distribution, forcing businesses to rely on expensive workarounds, add-ons, and custom integrations just to meet basic needs.
Profit Margin Pressure
Rising costs and thin margins make it critical to optimize pricing, reduce waste, and control expenses with precision.
Scaling Challenges
As your distribution business grows, outdated systems often struggle to keep up with higher order volumes, multiple warehouses, and complex supply chains.

“We have seen over 90% growth over the past five years, and we expect to see continued growth in the years to come. Acumatica has been a huge part of our success.”
“We know the pricing of 10 different vendors on the same product so we can compare them instantly and, depending upon those needs, satisfy whatever is the customer’s biggest priority. For example, if a customer is concerned about cost but is not worried about delivery times, we can provide a quote that fits those needs. Or, if a customer needs the packaging right away, we can use a more expensive vendor and ship that day if needed.”
“We can see valid inventories, and if we need to know what we’re making next week, we can see what’s in stock and use this information. In our old system, the information wasn’t on one screen, and we had to do a lot more manual assembly of the information to learn the same thing.”
