Run your dollar, discount, and variety wholesale operations on one modern cloud ERP. Ximple connects cash & carry POS, promotions, inventory, pricing, purchasing, WMS, finance, and B2B eCommerce in real time.
Whether you serve independent dollar stores, regional discount chains, closeout buyers, or mixed convenience and variety outlets, Ximple ERP gives you centralized control over assortment, price books, and promotions while keeping every branch and aisle in sync.
Ximple ERP is designed around the realities of GM and variety wholesale: thin margins, fast assortments, frequent promotions, and a mix of cash, card, and account customers across hundreds of small stores.
Control thousands of SKUs, sizes and assortments
Manage seasonal, import, closeout, and everyday SKUs with flexible attributes, category trees, and vendor cross-references. Keep case, inner, and each units in sync.
Price books by banner, format, and customer segment
Maintain separate price books for different banners, chains, and store formats. Support EDLP, hi-low, multi-buy, and promotional pricing from a central engine.
Promotions, flyers & deals with margin guardrails
Plan GM promotions by category or vendor, model forecasted lift, protect floor margins, and send updated prices and offers to POS, web, and truck tablets in one push.
Real-time visibility across depots & cash & carry floors
See on-hand, in-transit, and reserved stock across warehouses, aisles, and branches. Keep fast movers and promo items on end-caps and power aisles without over-buying.

Load routes from the ERP, track drops and returns, and sync invoices and payments back to head office as soon as the driver reconnects.
Manage chain-level contracts, store-specific pricing, promotions, and routing rules. Provide EDI, ASN, and performance reporting to your most strategic partners.
Many general merchandise distributors still rely on legacy on-premise systems and spreadsheets that were never designed for today’s speed of change. Ximple ERP is built to keep up with omnichannel, vendor programs, and rapid SKU turnover.
| Capability | Typical legacy setup | Ximple ERP for GM distributors |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing & promotions | Separate spreadsheets and POS files; manual flyer and promo maintenance; limited tracking of promo profitability. | Central pricing engine with price books, matrices, and promotions; one push to POS, web, and handhelds; margin guardrails and full audit trail. |
| Inventory & WMS | Basic on-hand tracking; minimal bin locations; manual inventory adjustments; limited control of shrink on high-velocity GM items. | Barcode WMS with directed putaway, replenishment, picking and cycle counts; case/inner/each tracking; shrink and variance reporting by area and category. |
| Channel integration | Disconnected systems for cash & carry, route trucks, and key accounts; conflicting prices and availability; delayed financial updates. | Unified ERP across all channels; consistent pricing and promos; immediate visibility into orders, returns, and payments by customer and route. |
| Reporting & analytics | Export-heavy, backward-looking reports; limited segmentation by banner, store, category, or promotion; slow answers for buyers and sales. | Role-based dashboards with GM-specific KPIs; profitability by banner, customer, promotion, and category; drill-downs from invoice to item and vendor. |
| Scalability & IT overhead | On-premise hardware, version upgrades, and heavy customizations. Limits on adding new locations, formats, or integration partners. | Cloud-native, API-friendly ERP; add branches, users, and integrations without major re-platform efforts; updates delivered continuously. |
A successful ERP project is as much about people and process as it is about technology. Ximple’s team works with GM distributors to phase the rollout and de-risk change across stores and warehouses.
Phase 1
Map GM categories, banners, store formats, and channels. Document current processes and define target workflows for POS, purchasing, promotions, and WMS.
Phase 2
Clean and load item, vendor, customer, price, and promotion data. Configure units of measure, stores, depots, and roles. Integrate with key partners where needed.
Phase 3
Run pilots in a subset of branches or banners. Train POS, warehouse, buying, and finance teams with GM-specific scripts and real scenarios.
Phase 4
Go live chain-wide in phases. Monitor KPIs such as margin, shrink, and promo lift. Tune pricing, replenishment, and reporting to support continuous improvement.
Common questions GM, dollar, and discount wholesalers ask when modernizing their ERP.
Yes. You can create price books, promotions, and flyers by banner, customer group, or store format. The promotion engine supports multi-buy offers, coupons, and bundled deals. Once approved, you can push those prices and offers to POS, route tablets, and your B2B portal with a single update.
Ximple ERP supports multiple units of measure per item with clear conversion rules. Purchasing, WMS, and POS all reference the same unit definitions, so you can buy by container, receive by pallet or case, store by case, and sell by each or multi-pack without losing control of on-hand quantities or margins.
In many cases, yes. Ximple offers APIs and integration options for POS, web, and marketplace platforms. Many GM distributors choose to standardize on Ximple’s own POS and B2B portal to simplify operations, while others run hybrid models during a phased migration.
Ximple is a strong fit for regional and national GM, dollar, discount, and variety wholesalers with one or more warehouses, cash & carry locations, and mixed delivery routes. If you manage thousands of SKUs, frequent promotions, and multiple customer types, Ximple is designed for your environment.
