Ximple ERP is cloud software built for convenience store distributors. It unifies POS, inventory, pricing, promotions, rebates, DSD routes, tobacco compliance, and B2B ordering so you can grow volume and protect margins across every category. It is built for the wholesaler supplying the stores — jobbers, DSD operators, and cash-and-carry distributors from small single-warehouse companies to mid-size multi-branch operations — not store back-office or fuel-pump software.

Purpose-built for wholesalers who supply C-stores, gas stations, and independent retailers with tobacco, candy, snacks, beverages, and general merchandise.

Ximple ERP handles the full range of products convenience distributors supply to C-stores, gas stations, and independent retailers—with category-specific compliance, pricing, and inventory controls.

Counter trade, multi-unit pricing, and real-time available-to-promise (ATP) inventory run on the same records, so compliance never slows the sale.

Common questions C-store wholesalers and convenience distributors ask about Ximple ERP.
Convenience distribution software is specialized ERP designed for wholesalers who supply C-stores, gas stations, and independent retailers. It handles tobacco compliance, multi-category inventory, promotions, rebates, DSD routes, cash & carry POS, and B2B ordering in one integrated platform.
Can Ximple ERP handle tobacco, candy, snacks, and beverages in one system?
Yes. Ximple ERP is designed for multi-category convenience distribution. You can manage tobacco with MSA and excise compliance, candy and snacks with expiry controls, beverages with deposit tracking, and general merchandise—all with category-specific pricing, promotions, and reporting.
Yes. Ximple ERP supports DSD (direct store delivery) routes with mobile invoicing, truck inventory, payment collection, and real-time sync, as well as high-volume cash & carry POS with age verification, multi-UOM pricing, and promotions—all sharing the same inventory and pricing engine.
Ximple ERP includes MSA compliance tracking, state excise tax automation, OTP reporting, PACT Act support, age verification at POS, and retailer license validation to help convenience distributors meet all tobacco regulatory requirements.
Yes. Ximple includes a native B2B eCommerce portal where C-store retailers can place orders 24/7 with their contract pricing, see real-time inventory, view promotions, and access order history and invoices—all connected directly to your ERP.
Most convenience distributors go live on Ximple ERP within 90–180 days depending on scope, data complexity, and number of locations. We phase the rollout starting with core operations and adding advanced capabilities over time.
The best fit is ERP built for the convenience trade itself: DSD route management with mobile invoicing, cash-and-carry counter sales, tobacco compliance (MSA, excise, PACT Act), age verification, multi-unit pricing, and real-time available-to-promise inventory. Generic ERP needs heavy customization to do any of this; Ximple is built for it from day one — from small single-warehouse distributors to multi-branch operations.
One system that treats tobacco as a first-class category, not an add-on: stamp and excise tax by jurisdiction, MSA and MULTICAT reporting, OTP tax methods, age-restricted selling rules, and FEFO inventory — alongside candy, snacks, beverages, and grocery in the same catalog, warehouse, and pricebook. That combination is exactly what Ximple’s convenience and tobacco distribution ERP provides.
For distributors. Ximple is the ERP for the wholesaler supplying C-stores, gas stations, and independent retailers — the trucks, warehouses, counters, and invoices behind the stores. It is not store back-office, fuel-pump, or in-store POS software, though your retail customers connect to it through the B2B ordering portal.
Not a slideshow of features. Bring one real route — the truck, its stops, its rack — and we’ll run its whole day in Ximple: loaded, scanned, invoiced, age-verified, and settled.
Every convenience distributor has one route that tells the truth about their system: the paper tickets, the price that changed but didn’t reach the handheld, the stamp-tax math done in the cab. Bring that route and that’s where the demo starts.
One route’s day, end to end
One route on one database: truck inventory loaded against the plan, each stop scanned with the customer’s own pricing and promotions, the invoice signed on the handheld with age-restricted items verified, payment collected, and the whole day settled back into the ERP — no re-keying at the office.
Start where your routes hurt
Name the pain and sales prepares that exact demo — a pricing demo and a settlement demo are different meetings, and thirty minutes only fixes one thing at a time.
Bring One Route’s Day
Pick your hardest route — the one with the big chain stop, the cash account, and the tobacco order. Bring its stop list, its products, and yesterday’s tickets, and we’ll load it, run three stops live on the handheld, and settle the day back into the ERP in front of you. And if Ximple can’t make that route’s day shorter, you’ll know that too.
