Pricing that won't model
Contract prices, volume breaks, rebates and per-customer part numbers, all fighting a product built for one price list.
✦ Distribution & wholesale
Distribution and wholesale software for complex pricing and stock
Multi-location stock, customer-specific pricing, EDI, pick and pack, and courier integration - built for merchants whose pricing rules break every off-the-shelf system.
✦ Where it hurts
What generic systems get wrong
Stock in three places
Physical stock, allocated stock and what the system thinks you have, none of them agreeing.
Orders by email
Customers send a PDF, someone types it in, and the errors turn into credit notes.
EDI bolted on
A trading partner mandate handled by a fragile bridge nobody understands.
Picking on paper
Printed lists, mis-picks, and no way to see progress until the van is loaded.
No self-serve for customers
Every stock and delivery question goes through the sales desk by phone.
✦ Modules
What we build for distributors
- Multi-location, multi-bin stock with transfers, counts and accurate allocation
- Customer-specific pricing: contracts, breaks, rebates and promotional periods
- Sales order processing from phone, email, portal and EDI in one queue
- Trade portal for reordering, order history, stock visibility and documents
- Pick, pack and despatch with barcode scanning and packing verification
- Courier and pallet-network integration, labels and tracking pushed back to the customer
- Purchasing with supplier lead times, reorder points and back-order management
- Margin reporting by customer, product and rep, on live data
✦ Approach
Usually a layer, not a replacement
Most distributors already run an accounting or ERP package that works well enough for finance. Replacing it wholesale is rarely the right first move.
The higher-return project is normally the trading layer on top: pricing, the customer portal, and the warehouse operation - connected back to the system of record so finance carries on unchanged.
✦ Questions we get asked
Distribution software questions
Can it handle our pricing rules?
That is usually the reason clients call us. Contract prices, volume breaks, rebates, customer part numbers and overrides can all be modelled explicitly, with an audit trail of who changed what.
Do you support EDI?
Yes, including the common retailer and buying-group formats, with clear error handling so a rejected message is visible rather than silent.
Will it work with our warehouse scanners?
Yes - tell us the hardware at scoping. We build for rugged Android devices and Bluetooth scanners regularly.
Can customers order online without a public webshop?
Yes. A trade portal behind a login, with their pricing and their catalogue, is the common pattern in B2B.
Tell us what isn't working. We'll tell you what we'd build.
Thirty minutes. Bring the process, the systems it touches and the deadline. You'll leave with an approach and an honest answer on whether custom software is the right call.
