Frequently Asked Questions
Fast answers to common questions.
What distinguishes ERP for trading and distribution from general ERP?
It focuses specifically on purchasing and suppliers, multiple warehouses, sales orders, representative distribution, customers and live inventory tracking across branches, instead of generic modules that ignore stock movement between locations.
Does the system support multiple warehouses and branches?
Yes. It manages several warehouses and branches with a separate balance for each location, transfers between warehouses, periodic stock counts and a unified view of total stock.
How does the system manage purchasing and suppliers?
It covers purchase orders, supplier quotations, receiving, supplier invoices, balances and credit limits, and links purchasing to stock levels for reorder decisions.
Does it connect sales and distribution with inventory and accounts?
Yes. A sales order can deduct inventory, create accounting entries and invoices, and record distribution movement for a representative or customer in one connected workflow.
How long does implementation take and does it include data migration?
Timing depends on the number of warehouses, branches, items and current data. We set a realistic schedule after discovery and handle migration of items, suppliers, customers, opening balances, training and support.
Does it integrate with WhatsApp, the website and other systems?
Yes. We can connect it with WhatsApp, your website or store, CRM systems, payment and shipping gateways, Google Sheets and APIs, and expand it with automation and AI.
