Wholesale Pricing, Promotions & Loyalty Software for Cash & Carry | Ximple

Cash & Carry is a Pricing & Promotion Business

Cash & carry and C-store wholesalers compete on sharp pricing and compelling deals — weekly flyers, in-aisle promotions, and loyalty perks that bring customers back. But margin is thin, vendor programs are intricate, and manual price stickers or stand-alone POS systems make it hard to control profitability at scale.

Before centralized price books

  • Prices maintained in spreadsheets, emailed updates, and local POS setups.
  • Promotions set up differently at each branch, with inconsistent execution.
  • Clerks rely on overrides and memory instead of enforced rules.
  • Finance struggles to see which deals drive profitable growth.

With Ximple price & promo engine

  • Price books, promos, and loyalty rules managed once in ERP.
  • Branches, POS lanes, and portals all see the same deals in real time.
  • Discount permissions and guardrails protect margin at the lane.
  • Analytics tie every deal back to margin, basket size, and vendor funding.

Central Price Books for Branches, Customers & Channels

Ximple ERP gives you one place to manage item pricing for every branch, customer group, and channel. You can run different price levels for C-stores, small wholesalers, and high-volume buyers — all without losing control or spending hours on manual updates. One centralized price book is the single source of truth: a price change cascades to every branch, lane, and portal at once, with role-based controls so local managers can’t override locked baseline prices.

Multiple Price Books, One Source of Truth

Create standard, contract, and promotional price books by branch, territory, and customer segment. When prices change, updates are pushed instantly to POS and portals instead of being rekeyed at each site.

Account-Level Pricing & Agreements

Support special prices for key accounts or chains while keeping a baseline price book for walk-in customers. Account managers can see exactly which items and discounts apply to each customer.

Approval Flows & Effective Dates

Apply effective dates, approvals, and audit trails to price changes so teams know who changed what, where, and when — and branches are ready before promotions go live.

Price Books for Cash & Carry Reality

Ximple price books understand the complexity of cash & carry and C-store distribution — multi-UOM, vendor deals, and branch-specific dynamics — so price strategies are easy to execute and adjust.

  • Support for list, net, contract, and promotional prices per item and UOM.
  • Branch-level and region-level price variants with shared logic.
  • Visibility into cost, price, and target margin at setup time.

Combine this with Ximple POS for Cash & Carry to ensure every lane uses the right price books automatically.

Promotion Engine for Weekly Deals, Bundles & Vendor Programs

Promotions attract customers, but they can erode profit if not controlled. Ximple ERP offers a promotion engine built for cash & carry — from buy-one-get-one and multi-buy deals to vendor-funded programs and buying group offers — all with margin visibility built in. Run branch-specific promotions — different deals by store, region, or customer segment — from one screen, with the same rules applied across POS, telesales, and B2B portals. Mix-and-Match, Multi-Buy & Bundle Deals.

Mix-and-Match, Multi-Buy & Bundle Deals

Configure promotions that mirror how customers shop: multi-buy discounts on cases, mix-and-match across brands, or bundles that encourage trial. Conditions and rewards are managed centrally in ERP and enforced automatically at POS and portals.

  • Buy X, get Y free or discounted.
  • Spend above a threshold in a category and receive a reward.
  • Bundle complementary items at an attractive price while protecting margin.

Vendor-Funded Deals, Rebates & Buying Groups

Align point-of-sale promotions with vendor contracts and buying group programs. Ximple ties promos back to vendor funding and rebates so you can claim funds accurately and prove ROI to suppliers and partners.

  • Model vendor contracts as price and promotion structures.
  • Track sell-through and claim accruals in real time.
  • Report performance by vendor, brand, and promotion type.

Guardrails for Margin & Compliance

Set guardrails for promotions and discounts so deals stay within target margin ranges and comply with regulatory or vendor constraints. Exceptions require approval and are logged for later review.

Loyalty & Rewards Programs for Cash & Carry Customers

Loyalty is more than a punch card. Ximple ERP connects loyalty programs to price books and promotions so you can reward the right customers with the right offers and measure the impact on sales, frequency, and mix. The same pricing and loyalty engine runs on our convenience distribution software.

  • Points-based programs for C-stores and small wholesalers.
  • Tiered pricing and perks for high-value customers.
  • Targeted offers by category, region, or customer segment.

Margin & Promotion Analytics for Cash & Carry Leaders

Pricing and promotions only work if they deliver profitable volume. Ximple analytics connect price books, promotions, and loyalty with sales, margin, and category performance so leaders see what works — and what needs to change.

Margin by Product, Deal & Customer

Compare margin impact at a granular level: per item, per promotion, per branch, and per customer segment. Identify deals that truly lift profit, not just revenue.

Promotion & Loyalty ROI

Measure uplift in units, revenue, and basket size for each promotion or loyalty offer. Retire underperforming deals and deepen those that deliver sustainable results.

Vendor & Buying Group Reporting

Share clear, accurate data with suppliers and buying groups. Show how programs are performing and use insights to negotiate better terms and co-funded marketing.

Fully Integrated with POS, Inventory & Finance

Because price books, promotions, and loyalty live inside Ximple ERP, they are fully integrated with POS, inventory, purchasing, vendor management, and finance. That means fewer surprises and cleaner execution across your cash & carry network.

One Set of Rules, Everywhere

POS lanes, telesales screens, and portals all call the same price and promotion engine. When you change a rule once, every channel reflects it — no manual rework or conflicting logic.

Clean Posting & Reconciliation

Discounts, vendor funding, and loyalty redemptions are posted correctly into the general ledger. Finance teams can reconcile promo spend and claims without building side spreadsheets.

Promotions That Inventory Can Support

Promotions are planned against real inventory, lead times, and purchase plans. Buyers and category managers see the full picture so deals do not create stockouts or aged stock.

Outcomes for Cash & Carry & C-Store Distributors

Nick Patel, Owner, Discount Wholesale

We compared several ERP systems and Ximple stood out immediately. It offered the best balance of functionality, simplicity, and real-time visibility for a wholesale operation like ours. Implementation was smooth, the learning curve was low, and the platform has consistently delivered the performance we expected. Choosing Ximple over the others was the right call.

See One Order Priced, Promoted & Rewarded in Ximple

Every cash & carry operator knows the order that tests the system: a key account on a contract price, a vendor-funded deal running that week, a loyalty member at the counter — and a manager asking whether the promotion still made margin. Bring that order and that’s where the demo starts.

Order in→ Priced by branch & customer→ Promotion applies→ Loyalty points update→ Invoiced, margin visible

One order on one database: the right price book (standard, contract, or promotional) applies itself by branch and customer, the week’s deal and any vendor-funded program apply at entry, loyalty points update at the lane or the portal, and margin shows on the line before the invoice prints.

Prices rekeyed at every branch Promo price won’t pull through Deals that quietly lose margin Loyalty that doesn’t match the lane No single price book to trust

Name the pain and sales prepares that exact demo — a centralized-price-book hour and a promotion-margin hour are different meetings, and thirty minutes only fixes one thing at a time.


Pick a real order from last week — ideally the messy one: a contract-priced account, a vendor-funded deal, a loyalty member, a branch that prices differently. Bring it and we’ll run it in Ximple live: priced from the right book, the promotion applied, points updated, margin visible on the line. And if Ximple can’t run that order cleaner than your current process, you’ll know that too.

What we ask : Your branches and customers, your current system, how you run price books and promotions today, and where margin or loyalty hurts

What you see : That order running in Ximple — counter or portal to invoice, on your real price books, promotions, and loyalty rules

What you get : Fit, migration approach, timeline and next steps

Flexible Program Definitions (Tiers, Volume Breaks, Time-Bound)  •  Line-Level Accruals at Invoice Time  •  SPA-Aware Pricing & Quoting  •  Automated Vendor-Ready Claim Files  •  Payment Reconciliation & Dispute Tracking  •  Net Margin Analytics

    Pricing, Promotions & Loyalty — FAQ

    Common questions from cash & carry, C-store, tobacco, candy, and general merchandise distributors evaluating Ximple ERP for price, promotion, and loyalty management.

    Can we start with price book management and add promotions or loyalty later?

    Yes. Many distributors first centralize price books and discount rules, then layer in advanced promotions and loyalty programs as they mature. Ximple’s modular approach lets you move at the pace that fits your organization and customers.

    How often can we update prices and promotions?

    You can update prices and promotions as often as your strategy requires. Changes are pushed in near real time to POS lanes, telesales, and portals so new prices and deals take effect quickly and consistently.

    Does this work with our existing POS hardware and scanners?

    Ximple ERP is designed to work with standard POS hardware, including scanners, cash drawers, and receipt printers. Price and promotion logic resides in ERP and is applied by POS software, which can run on modern terminals and devices.

    How do we keep margin visibility while running aggressive promotions?

    Ximple displays cost, price, and target margin when promotions are configured, and provides dashboards on realized margin by product and promotion. Leaders can quickly identify deals that are too aggressive and tune them before they erode profitability.

    What software do cash & carry distributors use for pricing and promotions?

    A distribution ERP with a built-in price book, promotion engine, and loyalty — not a separate CPG trade-spend tool or a field-service flat-rate price book. Ximple centralizes standard, contract, and promotional price books by branch and customer, runs multi-buy and vendor-funded deals with margin visibility, and ties in customer loyalty — all on the same cash & carry distribution ERP platform.

    What is a centralized price book?

    A centralized price book is one master source for all pricing — standard, contract, and promotional — that cascades every change to each branch, POS lane, and B2B portal at once instead of rekeying prices site by site. Role-based controls keep local managers from overriding locked baseline prices.

    Can Ximple run branch-specific promotions?

    Yes. You can run different promotions by store, region, or customer segment — weekly flyers, multi-buy, BOGO, bundles, and vendor-funded deals — from one screen, with margin visibility on every deal and the same rules across POS, telesales, and B2B portals.

    Does Ximple loyalty work for cash & carry customers?

    Yes — it is customer loyalty for the shoppers and accounts who buy from you: point balances and rewards recognized at the POS lane and the B2B portal, tied to your price books and promotions. It is not a channel-incentive or co-op/MDF program for rewarding other distributors — that is a different category.
