What slows a distribution business down.
Orders retyped from phone and WhatsApp
Every order is keyed in by hand, and mistakes show up at delivery.
Stock that doesn't match the shelf
You find out an item is short when the picker goes to get it.
Margins leaking quietly
Supplier prices creep up and freight is never added to cost, so margins are thinner than they look.
Cash stuck with customers
Chasing overdue accounts depends on someone remembering to do it.
Built around how your distribution business runs.
Orders from any channel
Phone, email, WhatsApp or sales reps — all into one order book.
Stock across warehouses
What's on hand, reserved and free to sell, in every location.
Cartons and pieces
Buy in one unit, sell in another — conversions handled.
Customer price lists
Different prices per customer, with approval below list.
True landed cost
Freight and duty in the cost of stock, so margins are real.
Credit control
Credit limits, holds and automatic follow-ups on overdue accounts.
Configured around how you work — and where your process is unusual, we build it.
This is our industry.
Merchaint runs our own $20M distribution business. Every problem on this page is one we have lived — and solved — in our own warehouse, with our own customers and suppliers.
So we won’t ask you for a requirements list. We’ll map how you work, tell you what you need, and keep improving it after go-live as your team finds what it needs next.
The use cases that matter most in distributors & wholesalers.
Start with the one that hurts most. Connect the rest when you're ready.
Sales Order Management
Quotes, orders, deliveries and invoices linked end to end — so nothing is typed twice and nothing falls through.
Inventory Management
Stock that moves with every purchase, delivery and sale — across every warehouse, in cartons or pieces.
Purchase Order Management
Requisitions, approvals, purchase orders and receiving in one place — so you know what's ordered, what's arrived and what's still owed.
Accounts Receivable
Invoices out on time, payments matched to the right invoice, and overdue customers followed up automatically.
Replace it, or automate it.
A whole new system for your distribution business, or automation on top of the tools you already use.
As part of a full system
Orders, stock, purchasing and collections in one system — one stock count, one order book, one set of books.
End-to-End Customized Business SystemOn top of what you have
Keep your current system; we take the order entry, invoice matching and payment chasing off your team.
AI AutomationCommon questions.
Our customers order by WhatsApp. Can that continue?
Yes. WhatsApp and email orders are read into sales orders for your team to confirm.
Can different customers get different prices?
Yes. Price lists and special prices per customer, with approval when a price goes below list.
Can our sales reps see live stock?
Yes. They see what is available to sell, not just what is on the shelf.
