Distribution ERP software built around your pricing and warehouses

Distribution ERP software connects purchasing, inventory, sales, fulfilment, invoicing, credit control and reporting for companies that buy goods and resell them. Its core is stock across several locations, customer-specific pricing and the cost of getting goods to your warehouse. A custom distribution ERP is built around your own pricing, routes, units of measure and integrations.

Buy when your process is close to standard wholesale and customisation would be light: a proven product starts quicker and carries less risk. Consider a custom build when pricing rules, route sales, customer-specific EDI or large per-user licence costs are the issue, or when you want to own the code. Run your own orders through each option before deciding. See ERP versus custom development.

Yes, when it is part of the scope. Stock can be held by warehouse, zone and bin, with transfers that show an in-transit state, scanner-driven receiving and picking, cycle counts and one view of what is available to promise across locations. We confirm the location structure with you during planning.

Landed cost adds freight, duty, insurance and handling to the purchase price and spreads them across the received items. The ERP then values stock and calculates margin on the full cost of getting goods into your warehouse, not only the supplier invoice price. The allocation method is agreed per cost type, for example by value, weight or quantity.

Yes, for the items where they matter. Lots and best-before dates are captured at receipt and carried through transfers, picks and shipments, with first-expiry-first-out suggestions, quarantine status and a trace from supplier lot to customer. Which items are lot-controlled is decided in the planning step.

It can. A mobile app takes orders and prints or sends invoices from the van, holds van stock as its own location, and reconciles stock, invoices and cash at the end of the day. Working offline and synchronising later is designed and scoped from your routes and coverage, and is not automatic.

Often, depending on the other side. Each partner or platform needs a workable method (API, file exchange or EDI), the right formats and permission from its owner, so each one is assessed before we promise anything. Tell us the partners, the document types and the volumes and we will say what is feasible.

Prices are stored by customer, group, item, quantity break and date range. The system applies a written order of precedence, for example contract price first, then customer list, then quantity break, then standard price, with a margin floor and an approval for overrides. Expired contracts stop applying on their end date.

Timeline Digital does not publish prices for custom software, because every project is custom. The price follows the modules, users, warehouses, integrations, data migration and reporting you need. The price is set in three steps: we analyse your requirements, build a free pilot of 2 to 3 key modules, and after you approve the pilot we agree the scope, milestones and commercial terms in writing. Any change request outside the approved scope is reviewed and agreed with you before extra work begins.

There is no fixed timeframe: the schedule for your distribution ERP is set from your requirements in the Plan step. The free pilot of 2 to 3 key modules is ready in about 2 days, and with 1,200+ developers we have the capacity to deliver a complete system in as little as 2 weeks. A module such as price lists or multi-warehouse stock can be one of the pilot modules you choose. Long-term support under a service level agreement (SLA) follows launch. The full project starts after you approve the pilot, and the scope, milestones and terms are agreed after it.

Usually. Migration is planned after we look at the quality and structure of your data: items and units of measure, customers and ship-to addresses, suppliers, price lists, open orders and opening stock. We rehearse the migration at least twice, reconcile stock and balances after each run, and agree what is carried over before cutover.
