Distribution ERP — warehouse, EDI, 3PL integration, B2B ordering

Distribution ERP is mostly about throughput and accuracy.

Distributors live and die on throughput (orders fulfilled per day) and accuracy (right product to right customer on time). Most distributors outgrow QuickBooks + a separate warehouse system once they hit 10K-orders-per-month or 5+ warehouse locations — integration tax becomes the bottleneck. Odoo collapses inventory + sales + purchasing + warehouse + finance onto one system.

For US distribution we configure: multi-warehouse inventory with smart routing (closest warehouse, lowest cost, availability-aware), barcode-driven receive / pick / pack / ship, EDI for big-box retail customers (Walmart, Target, Costco via SPS Commerce or direct), 3PL integration (ShipStation, ShipBob, FBA, dedicated 3PLs), drop-ship workflows, and B2B customer portal for self-service ordering.

Typical deployments range from $80K-$300K for single-warehouse mid-market distributors to $300K-$1M for multi-warehouse / multi-state operations with EDI complexity.
