    What Keeps Plumbing Distributors Up at Night

    Legacy ERP systems weren’t designed for today’s plumbing distribution complexity. Ximple was built from the ground up to solve these exact problems.

    Margin Erosion

    Pricing errors, missed SPAs, and manual cost updates silently drain profits across every branch and channel.

    Multi-Branch Blindness

    Customers expect instant availability answers across all locations. Disconnected systems lead to lost sales and broken promises.

    Manual Cost Updates

    Processing vendor price files takes 3–4 weeks manually. SKU updates pile up while margins slip through the cracks.

    Missed Rebates

    1–3% of purchases lost to uncaptured rebates. Manual tracking means money left on the table with every buying group program.

    Warehouse Inefficiency

    Paper picks, manual processes, and cut-length tracking errors create 3–5% error rates that compound across operations.

    Legacy System Lock-In

    Dominant ERP players stopped innovating years ago. High upgrade costs, constant customization, and backward integration hold you back.

    Fastest ERP Implementation and Payback

    Our proven implementation process minimizes disruption and maximizes success. Average ROI in less than 9 months.

    “IMARK members deserved better than legacy ERP vendors who stopped innovating and kept raising prices.”

    Our founder, Carlos, started Ximple when he noticed that IMARK members had limited choices for ERP software. A few dominant players controlled the industry — and they had stopped investing in their products years ago. Subpar solutions with high implementation costs and constant customization requirements became the norm.

    Ximple ERP was born in distribution over 12 years ago. Today, many IMARK distributors rely on our ERP and eCommerce solutions to run their operations. We are a team of passionate engineers continually innovating to create next-generation ERP solutions that give plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and PVF distributors a genuine competitive edge.

    How does Ximple handle IMARK member rebates and growth incentives?

Members also manage vendor SPAs and rebate claims on the same platform, from quote to check.

    Does Ximple serve IMARK electrical and HVAC members too?

    Yes. The same cloud ERP runs electrical distribution and HVAC distribution with each trade’s specifics — and for plumbing members, capabilities like contractor job quoting and cut-length pipe tracking are built in. One platform across an IMARK member’s whole line card.

    See Your IMARK Programs Working for You

    Every member knows the quiet math of a buying group: the rebate you definitely earned, the threshold you missed by one order, the claim that took a week to document. Bring one program and that’s where the demo starts.

    Program terms in→ Purchases tracked→ Accruals live→ Thresholds alerted→ Claim documented

    One program on one database: the terms load once, every qualifying purchase posts against them automatically, accruals update in real time, threshold alerts fire before deadlines pass, and the claim generates from the same transactions — with IDW item data and your vendor SPAs on the same platform.

    Missed rebates Threshold surprises Spreadsheet accruals Claim scrambles Audit gaps

    Name the pain and sales prepares that exact demo — a rebate-accrual demo and a claim-documentation demo are different meetings, and thirty minutes only fixes one thing at a time.


    Pick a real IMARK program — ideally the one you suspect is leaking. Bring its terms and a quarter of purchase history, and we’ll run it in Ximple: accruals building transaction by transaction, threshold alerts arriving in time to act, and the claim document generated from the same records. And if Ximple can’t find money you’re leaving on the table, you’ll know that too.

    What we ask : Your programs, your branches, your current system, and where group economics leak

    What you see : Your program running in Ximple — terms to documented claim

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