Designed for wholesale distributors to streamline inventory management, procurement and sales

We understand the challenges wholesale distribution businesses face.
 
Customer special pricing, margin visibility, meeting fast-changing customer demands for expansive product lines and features, access to inventory and pricing information on the go, optimising stock levels across multiple warehouses, e-commerce and 3PL platform integrations are just the beginning of the challenges that bring wholesalers to us.
 
Whether you’re seeking ERP software to help your business get full visibility of your inventory, improve profitability, reduce delivery cycles, automate manual tasks or simplify the number of systems and apps you’re using, we can help you with a scalable, unifying, cloud ERP platform that will become the heart of your distribution business.

Why do distributors need ERP?

Distributors need ERP because growth quickly outpaces spreadsheets and entry-level accounting software. An ERP like MYOB Acumatica connects purchasing, inventory, warehousing, sales and finance in one system, so you can see live stock and margins, fill orders faster and make decisions on accurate numbers instead of guesswork.

ERP or WMS? Why you need both

A warehouse management system (WMS) handles the warehouse floor, from receiving to picking and shipping. An ERP manages the whole business around it. With MYOB Acumatica, warehouse tools such as barcode scanning sit inside the ERP, so you avoid syncing two separate systems.

ERP checklist for warehouse distribution businesses

Before you compare vendors, make sure any ERP can handle multi-warehouse stock, lot and serial tracking, landed costs, barcode scanning and connections to your e-commerce and freight systems.

Replace spreadsheet inventory and reporting with MYOB Acumatica

Most distributors come to BusinessHub when spreadsheets start costing them money. Stock counts don't match, orders get keyed in twice and month-end reports take days. MYOB Acumatica replaces those spreadsheets with one live system, so every team works from the same numbers.

Supply chain + operational complexity

When sales, inventory and purchasing sit in one system, resources, budgets and schedules are far easier to manage, so you make better decisions, faster.

No visibility of processes, costs, or real-time data

With access to real-time insights and complete visibility across your business, you can eliminate outdated and inaccurate data to improve collaboration and make informed business decisions.

Reducing stock levels to align with demand

Live stock levels, sales history and replenishment rules help you order what customers actually buy. You carry less excess stock, free up cash and run out less often.
