DistributionPlus

DistributionPlus is an enterprise resource planning system for wholesale distributors developed by CPTech (Computer Programming Technologies), an American software company with decades of experience serving the distribution sector. The product integrates accounting, order management, inventory control and shipping into a single system, addressing the operational challenges of distributors that must manage large product catalogues, complex pricing, multiple warehouses and demanding customer service expectations. Rather than adapting a generic ERP package, DistributionPlus is built around distribution workflows, with an emphasis on flexibility so that it can be configured to the specific practices of each business. Its core approach is to provide a comprehensive yet adaptable platform that gives distributors real-time visibility of stock, orders and finances, enabling faster fulfilment and better control of costs and margins.

Key modules include order entry with customer-specific pricing, contracts, quotes and back-order handling; purchasing with vendor management, replenishment suggestions and receiving; and inventory management covering multiple locations, lot and serial tracking, and physical counts. Warehouse management features support picking, packing and shipping, with integration to shipping carriers for rate calculation and label generation. The financial suite includes general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable and financial reporting. DistributionPlus also offers electronic data interchange for trading with larger customers and suppliers, customer relationship management tools, sales analysis and business intelligence reporting, and web-based portals that let customers place orders and check account information online. Mobile tools support warehouse staff and sales representatives in the field. The system can be deployed on-premises or in a hosted environment, and CPTech provides implementation, training and ongoing support. Integrations with ecommerce platforms and third-party applications extend its reach. DistributionPlus is aimed at small and mid-sized wholesale distributors in industries such as industrial supplies, electrical, plumbing, food service, automotive parts and medical supplies. Pricing starts from around USD 65; there is no free trial and no permanently free version.
