eCommerce ERP for wholesale distribution combines B2B online storefronts, customer self-service portals, and order management directly with your ERP. Instead of connecting separate systems, Ximple uses one data model for inventory, pricing, contracts, orders, invoices, and payments, so buyers get a smooth digital experience and your team works from accurate, real-time information across branches, counters, cash & carry locations, and marketplaces.
Ximple eCommerce ERP is built for wholesale distributors that need fast, accurate B2B online ordering rather than a generic retail storefront. It brings together storefront, PIM, pricing and contracts, multi-branch inventory, order management, and accounting so your customers get a modern digital experience and your operations stay efficient and profitable.
Quick order pads, CSV uploads, purchase lists, and order history reorders tuned for how contractors, buyers, and branch teams actually work in wholesale distribution.
Real-time inventory, ATP, and pricing from Ximple ERP—no delayed syncs or spreadsheets between eCommerce and back office. Online orders feed the same inventory, purchasing, and accounting records your teams already rely on.
Customers view pricing, track orders, download invoices, manage jobs, and initiate returns without calling your team, freeing inside sales and customer service to focus on higher-value work.
Designed to support growing digital revenue across branches, counters, cash & carry, and marketplaceswithout heavy IT overhead or complex integrations.
Together with modules like Inventory Management, Warehouse Management, and Sales ERP, Ximple gives you a complete, ERP-integrated eCommerce solution for wholesale distribution.
Many distributors start with standalone eCommerce tools or basic web stores. As online revenue and complexity grow, these setups create friction, errors, and margin leakage. Ximple eCommerce ERP removes these bottlenecks with an ERP-integrated wholesale distribution eCommerce platform.
Separate storefront and ERP systems create mismatched stock levels and prices. Ximple keeps availability, ATP, and contract pricing synchronized in real time across branches, counters, and eCommerce.
Retail-style carts are painful for professional buyers. Ximple offers quick order pads, saved lists, and reorders from history for larger, recurring B2B orders.
Customers call for pricing, inventory, and order status. Ximple’s distributor customer self-service portal gives them 24/7 access to the information they need.
Orders rekeyed from the website into ERP cause delays and mistakes. With Ximple, online orders flow directly into ERP, WMS, and AR without manual entry.
Generic eCommerce tools struggle with complex contracts, terms, and rebates. Ximple is built around distributor pricing, terms, taxes, and freight logic.
Adding new branches, web properties, or marketplaces becomes complex. Ximple provides a unified ERP backbone to add channels with control and visibility.
As you expand into marketplaces or additional web properties, Ximple keeps your wholesale distribution eCommerce platform aligned with the same ERP data, security, and compliance standards you use everywhere else.
Many distributors evaluate platforms like Shopify, Magento/Adobe Commerce, or generic B2B add-ons and then discover that wholesale distribution requirements are difficult and expensive to support. Ximple is designed for distributors from day one.
Online orders use the same item, pricing, tax, and credit rules as your ERP. There is no separate pricing engine or custom middleware to maintain.
Contract pricing, project and job lists, rebates, and multi-branch inventory are standard for Ximple—not afterthoughts or expensive customizations.
Implementation, best practices, and roadmap are driven by electrical, plumbing, HVAC, industrial, fasteners, tobacco, cash & carry, and general merchandise distributors like you.
Instead of forcing a retail cart to behave like a distributor portal, Ximple gives you a wholesale distribution eCommerce ERP that matches how your business actually prices, stocks, and fulfills orders.
Distributors across electrical, plumbing, HVAC, industrial, fasteners, tobacco, cash & carry, and general merchandise use Ximple ERP to modernize B2B eCommerce, protect margins, and simplify operations.

| Topic | Cloud-Based eCommerce ERP | On-Premise eCommerce ERP |
|---|---|---|
| Infrastructure | Vendor-managed infrastructure with no servers to maintain. Ideal for distributors prioritizing speed and lower IT overhead. | Distributors manage servers, OS, and hardware in-house. Greater control but more responsibility and cost. |
| Upgrades & Enhancements |
Regular updates, security patches, and new features with limited disruption. | Upgrades are projects that must be scheduled, tested, and executed by internal IT or partners. |
| Scalability | Scale online traffic, users, and entities quickly as digital revenue grows. | Capacity planning, hardware purchases, and performance tuning required for growth. |
| Remote & Multi-Branch Access | Native browser access from any location or device with proper security controls. | Often depends on VPNs and more complex network configuration. |
| Customization | Configuration- and API-driven flexibility, aligned with cloud best practices. | Deep environment-level customizations for specialized requirements. |
