Cost-conscious wholesalers built their businesses on entry-level accounting applications. These low-cost systems lack advanced inventory and warehouse management capabilities. Established distributors implemented specialized ERP applications built on aging technology platforms. Connecting and extending entry-level and legacy systems with modern applications is costly. Distributors struggle to find plug-and-play operational systems for warehouse management, electronic data interchange, or shipping and logistics management. As supply chains get more complicated and customers’ demand shifts, distributors have to work harder to grow sales with disparate systems for customer relationship management, commerce storefronts, point of sale, and field services. **Acumatica Distribution Edition is unlike any other midmarket wholesale distribution ERP application. Built on a future-proof cloud platform, it incorporates everything progressive distributors need to manage all parts of their business in a single, connected system.** Until recently, choosing an ERP for distributors was a frustrating task. The most powerful platforms were too expensive—and frankly, offered too much functionality—to be a good fit for a midsized distributor. So most companies did the only thing they could: integrate specialized applications with their entry-level or legacy accounting systems and hope for the best. **Times have changed. Cloud ERP provides all of the business functionality you need in a single, cohesive platform. Best of all, you can go live without a lengthy implementation—and without taking on a huge software maintenance burden.**   ![Distribution-Handbook-1](https://cloud-erp.aqurus.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Distribution-Handbook-1.png?width=1024&height=512&name=Distribution-Handbook-1.png)   In this [eBook](https://cloud-erp.aqurus.ca/hubfs/Distribution-ERP-Handbook.pdf), you’ll discover how to: - Manage sales, inventory, purchasing, projects, and financials **on a single platform.** - **Connect and mobilize** your distribution operations. - Go live without installing code—and **minimize your IT costs.** - Ensure your ERP platform can **keep up with changes** in your business. - **“Wow” your customers** by providing amazing service.           ### Learn 4 Reasons Companies Choose Acumatica [![Select the Right ERP Software For Your Distribution Business](https://cloud-erp.aqurus.ca/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/ERP-Whitepaper-1.png) ](https://cloud-erp.aqurus.ca/distribution-erp/select-erp-software) #### [Select the Right ERP Software For Your Distribution Business](https://cloud-erp.aqurus.ca/distribution-erp/select-erp-software) ![Picture of Aqurus Solutions](https://cloud-erp.aqurus.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Aurus-Q-logo.gif?width=30&name=Aurus-Q-logo.gif) [Aqurus Solutions](https://cloud-erp.aqurus.ca/distribution-erp/author/aqurus-solutions) : Apr 4, 2021 9:40:05 AM [Download](https://cloud-erp.aqurus.ca/distribution-erp/tag/download) [Distribution](https://cloud-erp.aqurus.ca/distribution-erp/tag/distribution) [Read More](https://cloud-erp.aqurus.ca/distribution-erp/select-erp-software) [![Best ERP for Wholesale Distribution](https://cloud-erp.aqurus.ca/hubfs/Distribution.jpeg) ](https://cloud-erp.aqurus.ca/distribution-erp/best-erp-for-wholesale-distribution) #### [Best ERP for Wholesale Distribution](https://cloud-erp.aqurus.ca/distribution-erp/best-erp-for-wholesale-distribution) ![Picture of Murray Quibell](https://cloud-erp.aqurus.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Aqurus-president-Murray-Quibell-131x150-1.jpeg?width=30&name=Aqurus-president-Murray-Quibell-131x150-1.jpeg) [Murray Quibell](https://cloud-erp.aqurus.ca/distribution-erp/author/murray-quibell) : Jul 18, 2023 8:48:26 PM Finding the best ERP for wholesale distribution system is crucial for streamlining your business operations, optimizing inventory management,...
