Software for distributors: speed is the margin
In distribution the product is identical to your competitor’s — the operation is the differentiator.
A distributor sells the same goods as its rivals at nearly the same price; what actually competes is the operation — how fast an order becomes a delivery, how rarely stock promises are broken, how little cost each order carries. Software is where those battles are decided. We build for distribution and wholesale companies: B2B portals where clients order against live stock and their own negotiated prices, mobile apps for field agents that work in basements and vans, warehouse flows that pick accurately under pressure, and route coordination that gets more drops from the same fleet. Everything synchronises with your ERP so there is one truth about stock and money. Each manual touch removed from an order’s journey is margin recovered — across tens of thousands of orders a year, that arithmetic is the business case.

What you get
Clients order themselves
A B2B portal with personal prices, live availability and order history moves routine orders off the phone — agents sell instead of transcribing.
Stock promises kept
Reservations and live synchronisation across channels end the sell-what-we-don’t-have call — the fastest way distributors lose accounts.
Delivery cost per order, known
Route and drop data reveal what each delivery truly costs — informing minimum orders, delivery fees and which clients profitably justify Tuesday routes.
Routes built from the day’s orders
Deliveries are grouped by geography, vehicle capacity and time windows as orders close, instead of being planned the night before on a whiteboard — fewer kilometres driven and a realistic arrival time to give the customer.
Frequently asked questions
Our price logic is complicated — per client, volume, promotions. Can a portal handle it?
That complexity is precisely why a portal pays off: rules executed by software are applied consistently, while rules applied from memory leak margin. We encode your actual pricing, including the exceptions.
How does this coexist with our ERP?
The ERP stays the system of record; portal, agent app and warehouse tools read and write through integration. No duplicate stock or client databases to reconcile.
What results do distributors typically see?
The recurring pattern: order-processing labour drops sharply, error-driven returns fall, and portal clients order more frequently because ordering became effortless. We baseline your numbers first so the effect is measured, not asserted.
What visibility do managers get over field sales agents?
Visits recorded with time and location, orders taken per agent, discount levels granted, and which clients have not been called within the agreed cycle. The intent is coaching rather than surveillance, so the reports we build are the ones a sales manager can act on in a one-to-one. Indicatively, the first stage — agent ordering — runs 5,000–15,000 €, and the system with stock integration, roles and reporting reaches 15,000–50,000 €; those are the bands from our web-application cost guide, not a quote.
