Fastener distributor software has to handle what general ERP does not: an item sold by the piece, the pound or the keg, a lot that needs its mill certificate attached, and a kit that has to price correctly before it is picked. Ximple is cloud ERP built around those workflows — quoting, kitting and fulfillment on one platform, with catalog, bins, ATP and finance on the same record, so your team builds kits faster, fulfills accurately, and protects margins across every branch.
Replace manual work and guesswork with real-time data and automation. From kitting & assemblies and bin-level inventory to lot traceability, mill test certificates, VMI, demand planning, and ATP by branch, Ximple gives fasteners distributors speed, control, and confidence.
Fastener distributors run high SKU counts on thin unit margins — thousands of parts that differ by grade, finish and thread, sold in units that change between the shelf and the invoice. Ximple unifies catalog, pricing, inventory, warehouse and finance on one cloud platform, so the grade on the certificate and the grade on the pick ticket are never two different things.
Built for Fasteners
Kits/BOM, alternates, packaging UoMs, and quality docs are first-class.
End-to-End Visibility
From quote to invoice, every transaction is connected and auditable.
Real-Time Accuracy
Live ATP by branch with transfer suggestions and guided picks.
Scalable & Secure
Cloud-native platform with APIs for CRM, EDI, and analytics.
Fasteners distributors juggle complex assemblies, high SKU counts, and tight delivery windows. Ximple ERP tackles the toughest challenges across sales, warehouse, and management — in one connected system.
Create kits/BOM with alternates and explode at pick or invoice—no more spreadsheet confusion.
Barcode-enabled bin locations, guided picks, and cycle counts reduce errors and speed turns.
VMI and consumption/min-max rules generate suggested buys and transfers on time.
Matrix Pricing, floors, contracts, and approvals keep quotes competitive and profitable.
Real-time ATP by branch gives reliable ETAs and clearer commitments to customers.
Mill test certificates attached to lots, full lot traceability from receipt to invoice, and grade classifications that survive an audit.
From single-branch specialists to multi-location suppliers, fastener distributors choose Ximple ERP to modernise operations and outperform legacy systems — including companies that are members of the National Fastener Distributors Association (NFDA).
Ximple stands out as one of the most thoughtfully designed ERP platforms I’ve worked with. It simplifies complex distribution workflows, improves data accuracy, and reduces the manual effort that often slows teams down. The implementation framework is strong, the product is stable, and the support team is highly responsive. I confidently recommend Ximple to distributors looking for a modern, dependable ERP.
Masood, ERP Consultant, WMD
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.

Not a generic ERP demo. Show us how you build and price a kit today, and we’ll walk through the same workflow in Ximple.
Whether it’s a job pack with forty line items and three substitutions, a lot that needs its mill certificate attached before it ships, or a part sold by the piece on one order and the keg on the next — see how Ximple keeps the catalog, the cost and the paperwork on the same record.
Quote, Kit & Fulfil
See how a kit prices before it is picked, how alternates hold the sale when a grade is short, and how units convert between piece, pound, box and keg without a spreadsheet.
Receive, Trace & Replenish
See how a mill test report stays attached to its lot from receipt to invoice, how plating and heat treatment are tracked with status and cost, and what an auditor sees when they ask for the chain.
Bring Us a Real Kit
Have a job pack that is awkward in your current system — a long BOM, a substitution that changes the price, a customer bin that never reconciles? Bring it to the demo. Use your own part numbers, your own grades, your own customers. We’ll show you how Ximple would handle it.

Result: The right stock in the right place—consistently.
Problem: Reactive purchasing increases carrying costs.
Solution: Use history, seasonality, and lead times to generate buys and transfers.
Result: Lower stockouts and fewer dead SKUs.
Problem: No real-time availability across branches causes missed commitments.
Solution: Real-time ATP with inter-branch transfer suggestions and ETA tracking.
Result: Confident delivery dates, higher fill rates, fewer backorders.
Problem: Manual overrides and static lists create leakage.
Solution: Matrix pricing, floors, contracts, and approvals.

| Best For | Growth-minded distributors seeking scalability and speed. | Businesses reliant on heavy internal IT infrastructure. |
Yes. Build kits and job packs with alternates, substitutions, and packaging UoMs; explode at pick or invoice.
Yes. Use bin locations with barcode/RFID to improve counts and picks across branches.
Configure min/max or consumption rules per site; generate replenishment orders and transfer suggestions automatically.
Yes. We provide EDI/API connectors for POs, ASNs, invoices, and inventory feeds.
Yes. Mill test reports are stored against the lot they belong to and stay attached from receipt through to invoice, so a certificate can be produced for any shipment. Lots carry grade classifications, and full traceability is available for audit.
Yes. Freight, duty and handling are apportioned across the receipt so true landed cost sits on the item, and pricing can be held to multiple decimal places for high-volume, low-unit-cost lines.
