The right ERP for your distribution business. First time.
ERPilotAI guides Finance Directors and business owners in distribution and wholesale through a structured, fully independent ERP selection — evaluated against the realities of stock, logistics and margin, not just the general ledger.
Distribution ERP selection is not finance-only ERP selection
A generic ERP that handles the general ledger beautifully can still be the wrong choice for a distributor. ERPilotAI evaluates vendors against the realities of distribution operations — not just accounting.
Stock complexity that outgrows your finance system
Multi-warehouse, multi-site, serial and batch tracking, varying units of measure — distribution operations push generic finance systems past their limits. The right ERP manages all of it natively, not through bolt-on workarounds.
Sales orders, purchase orders and logistics in one place
Distributors live and die by order throughput. Your ERP must handle sales orders, purchasing, goods-in, picking, packing, despatch and returns as a single connected flow — not as separate modules that don't talk to each other.
Margin visibility on every line, every day
When you sell thousands of SKUs across hundreds of customers, margin leakage is invisible until it's too late. You need real-time landed cost, rebates, price matrices and profitability reporting that actually reflects how distribution works.
Integration with e-commerce, WMS and EDI
Modern distribution runs on integrations — online stores, warehouse management systems, carrier platforms and EDI trading with large retail customers. Choose an ERP that connects, not one that isolates you.
The capabilities that make or break distribution ERP
Every ERP that reaches your shortlist is evaluated against these distribution-specific requirements — alongside the full finance, reporting and compliance assessment every ERPilotAI project runs.
Multi-warehouse & multi-site stock
Real-time visibility across every location — branch transfers, stock reservations and inter-site demand all handled natively, not via spreadsheets.
Batch, serial & expiry tracking
Full traceability for regulated goods, recalls and quality control — from goods-in to the customer's door, with audit trails that satisfy inspectors.
Price matrices & customer-specific pricing
Complex tiered pricing, contract pricing, promotional pricing and volume breaks managed in the system — not maintained manually on quote sheets.
Landed cost & true margin reporting
Duties, freight, insurance and rebates allocated to the line — so the margin you see is the margin you actually make, on every SKU.
e-commerce, EDI & marketplace integration
Connected to Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, B2B portals and EDI trading — one source of truth for stock and price across every channel.
Compliance: VAT, HMRC & traceability
UK-specific VAT handling, MTD for VAT, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax readiness and full audit traceability built into the evaluation.
