    What Keeps Electrical Distributors Up at Night

    Legacy systems weren’t designed for today’s complexity. Ximple was built from the ground up for electrical distribution.

    Margin Erosion

    Average distributors lose 5.2% of profit annually from pricing errors. Our matrix pricing engine with automatic SPA application protects every transaction.

    Multi-Branch Visibility

    Customers expect instant answers on availability across all locations. Real-time ATP with transfer suggestions gives your team confidence to promise—and deliver.

    Manual Cost Updates

    Processing vendor price files takes 3-4 weeks manually. Native IDW and Trade Service integration updates 500K+ SKUs automatically—same day.

    Missed Rebates

    1-3% of purchases lost to uncaptured rebates. Automated accrual tracking, threshold alerts, and claim generation capture every dollar you’ve earned.

    Warehouse Inefficiency

    Paper picks and manual processes create 3-5% error rates. Barcode-enabled WMS with directed picks eliminates errors and speeds turns.

    Counter Slowdowns

    Legacy POS systems take 4-6 minutes per transaction. Modern counter operations complete in under 2 minutes with real-time pricing and cross-sell prompts.
