Leading-Edge ERP Software Made for the Wholesale Distribution Industry

DDI System’s connected ERP technology and industry-specific functionality provide distributors with the ability to drive operational excellence, improve margins, and thrive in today’s competitive marketplace. Our easy-to-adopt distribution management system meets the changing nature of the wholesale distribution industry. From daily operations to mobile workers, DDI System incorporates today’s critical distribution requirements with the capacity to handle almost any supply chain integration including CRM, eCommerce, advanced inventory forecasting, and a powerful price matrix.

Take control of your accounting and financials with DDI Systems:

  • Get intelligent insight into account and financial reports that enable distributors to drive out costs.
  • Easily reconcile bank accounts and statements and view details of underlying transactions for any item with drill-down capabilities.
  • Eliminate time-consuming end-of-day/month postings while maintaining access to all of your historical accounting data.
  • Save time and money with paper and file-free workflows plus reprint, fax or email documents on demand.

Make smarter decisions with accurate inventory insight and demand forecasting tools in DDI System. Our distribution ERP solution includes powerful forecast algorithms, easy-to-use exception management, and unique, intuitive purchasing screens to help you reduce inventory levels and carrying costs, eliminate dead stock, increase inventory turns and order fill rates, streamline multi-location inventory, and combat variable supply and demand.

Complete the entire order entry process in just a few clicks for maximum profitability. With DDI System, you can easily move from quote to order, or order to quote, expedite order processing, check stock, research linked purchase orders, verify shipping preferences and more in one single sales order control panel.

  • Increase your speed of sale when handling orders with quick search capabilities.
  • Streamline the order process with automated proof of delivery, signature capture, and advanced POS processing components.
  • Easily manage warranty claims.

For a distributor, pricing is by far the most powerful lever for increasing profits. DDI System delivers multi-dimensional price flexibility, allowing your sales force to be more efficient and effective by tailoring pricing to each customer and situation. Our solution includes:

  • Strategic Margin Protection – Effortlessly build individual customer pricing and automatically maintain sell prices based on the previous sales’ profit margin without the need to set up contracts or matrices.
  • Built-in Price Matrix – Quickly import hundreds of products, update list prices and costs, and easily set up unlimited scenarios using our multi-tiered price matrix to maximize profitability and support customer-specific promotions.
  • Customer Rebate Tracking – Manage customer net pricing, vendor rebated costs, and vendor rebated cost load. Contract/rebate costs can be used in conjunction with a separate sell price matrix or with separate margin-based customer prices for a uniquely low-maintenance rebate management system.

Save costs and increase efficiency across your entire organization by streamlining paperwork flow with electronic document scanning and signature capture. DDI System safely stores important documents online and includes simplified document scanning and automatic signature capture to help distributors evolve to a paperless operation and reduce time spent processing orders.

Having the right information at the right time strengthens customer relationships, fosters loyalty, and allows your team to provide superior service over competitors. With DDI System’s embedded CRM, wholesale distributors gain a 360° view of department-specific operations, can track detailed contact engagement, rank customers for growth, identify growth opportunities and resolve business issues with live reporting. Our unique calendar with related transactions, contacts, and activity tracking helps sales reps manage their territory, grow their business, and continually track performance levels.

DDI System’s intuitive, drill-down reporting capabilities and role-specific dashboards keep you aware of trends while diving into every aspect of your business for complete operational and financial awareness. Avoid potential pitfalls and give your team the confidence to make actionable business decisions based on deep insight into key business metrics with:

  • Easy-to-create custom reports and KPI graphs in a few clicks.
  • Tailored dashboards to fit every user’s needs, including sales, inventory, and receivables.
