Modern, cloud-native accounting software built specifically for wholesale distributors. Replace spreadsheets and basic accounting tools with a single ERP that unites GL, AR, AP, banking, inventory, pricing, and warehouse operations in real time.
Ximple ERP gives finance and operations one source of truth across every branch and warehouse — so you can automate accounting workflows, shorten month-end close, and make confident decisions with live data instead of manual reconciliation.
Wholesale distribution accounting ERP software combines financial management and distribution operations in one cloud platform. It brings together General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, banking, inventory, pricing, WMS, and supply chain so every transaction flows automatically from quote to cash and from purchase order to payables — giving distributors real-time visibility into P&L, cash, and margins.

Ximple ERP is more than accounting software — it is a cloud platform built specifically for wholesale distribution. Finance, operations, inventory, pricing, and warehouse teams work from the same real-time data so every decision is grounded in accurate numbers instead of spreadsheets and disconnected reports.
Support complex terms, rebates, special pricing, vendor cost changes, landed cost, and branch-level margins. Ximple is designed around the realities of electrical, plumbing, HVAC, industrial, and other wholesale verticals.
Quotes, orders, shipments, returns, purchasing, and inventory movements post automatically to GL, AR, and AP. Month-end close becomes a review process rather than a manual reconstruction of the month.
Cloud deployment, automatic updates, and AI-assisted workflows help you scale without adding IT overhead. Ximple grows with new branches, acquisitions, and channels while keeping finance in control.
Many distributors eventually outgrow basic accounting software, spreadsheets, or generic ERP systems. Finance teams spend more time reconciling numbers than advising the business, while operations teams lack real-time insight into profitability. Ximple ERP is built to remove these bottlenecks.
Separate tools for GL, inventory, pricing, and warehouse activity create data silos, manual reconciliation, and inconsistent reports — especially across multiple branches and companies.
Deferred postings, suspense accounts, and offline spreadsheets make close cycles slow and reactive. Finance spends days chasing adjustments instead of focusing on analysis and improvement.
It is difficult to see which branches, product lines, and customers are truly profitable when accounting, pricing, rebates, and inventory are managed in different systems.
Tools built for general small-business accounting struggle with complex terms, rebates, cost changes, and multi-branch operations common in wholesale distribution.
Email approvals, shared spreadsheets, and ad hoc processes make it difficult to enforce consistent controls, prepare for audits, or respond quickly to lender and investor questions.
As transactions grow, manual work in AR, AP, and GL grows too. Without automation, finance teams hit a ceiling and need to add people instead of leveraging smarter systems.
Ximple ERP Accounting centralizes General Ledger, AR, AP, banking, budgeting, and financial reporting in a single cloud platform that is tightly integrated with sales, purchasing, inventory, pricing, warehouse operations, and supply chain workflows. The result is accurate books, faster month-end closes, and confident decision-making — powered by real-time operational data instead of manual spreadsheets.
Designed around the realities of wholesale distribution — complex terms, rebates, credit limits, freight, and inventory valuation by branch — instead of generic “one-size-fits-all” accounting software.
Connect quotes, orders, purchasing, receipts, inventory, and invoicing so every GL entry reflects what is happening in the warehouse, on the road, and across branches in real time.
Approvals, audit trails, and role-based security help standardize processes, reduce risk, and ensure you are ready for audits, lender reviews, and private equity due diligence.
Cloud-native architecture supports multi-entity, multi-branch, and multi-currencygrowth without adding complex IT overhead — so finance can keep up as the business expands.
Finance leaders eventually outgrow tools like QuickBooks, Sage 50, or legacy on-prem systems. As transaction volume, branches, and inventory complexity increase, basic accounting software creates bottlenecks — slowing close cycles, limiting visibility, and adding risk. Ximple ERP removes these limitations with a unified platform designed for wholesale distribution.
Distributors switch to Ximple ERP when accounting can no longer keep up with the operational complexity of wholesale distribution. Ximple provides the unified financial and operational foundation needed to scale confidently.

Ximple ERP helps distributors move from manual, spreadsheet-heavy accounting to automated, cloud-driven finance. Below are common areas where customers see immediate impact.
Step 1
Map current accounting, inventory, and warehouse workflows and define target-state processes.
Step 2
Prepare master data, COA, and rules; configure GL, AR, AP, and operational modules.
Step 3
Run a pilot with a selected branch or entity to validate postings and reporting.
Step 4
Roll out to additional branches with standardized flows and tight cutover support.
Step 5
Add new analytics, integrations, and automation as the business grows.
Problem: GLs maintained via heavy manual journals, delayed postings, and fragmented sub-ledgers make it difficult to trust the numbers.
Transformation: Operational transactions from orders, shipments, receipts, and adjustments post automatically to the GL using rules-based automation.
Result: Accurate, real-time financial statements that finance and leadership can rely on — with faster closes and fewer adjustments.

Accounts payable approvals and invoice processing
Problem: Paper invoices, email approvals, and ad hoc payment runs create bottlenecks, late fees, and inconsistent controls.
Transformation: Automated AP workflows with routing, approvals, vendor terms, and payment batches tied directly to purchasing.
Result: Fewer late fees, consistent approvals, better cash forecasting, and more time for analysis instead of data entry.
Problem: Aging reports live in spreadsheets and collections depend on individual habits instead of a repeatable process.
Transformation: Centralized AR with standardized dunning, reminder schedules, and credit controls connected to sales and customer history.
Result: Faster collections, lower DSO, and clear visibility into who owes what — and why.

Transformation: Ximple supports multi-entity GL structures, intercompany postings, and automated consolidation.
Result: A single, consistent financial view across entities with less manual work and fewer errors.

The best accounting ERP software for wholesale distribution combines strong financial management (GL, AR, AP, banking, consolidation) with deep distribution features such as inventory, pricing, rebates, and warehouse management. Ximple ERP is designed specifically for distributors so finance and operations share the same real-time system instead of stitching together spreadsheets and generic tools.
As distributors add branches, SKUs, and volume, basic accounting tools struggle with complex terms, rebates, cost changes, and multi-entity structures. Month-end close becomes slower and less reliable. A distribution-focused accounting ERP like Ximple provides automation, control, and visibility that generic small-business tools cannot deliver.
Timeline depends on scope and number of entities, but many distributors go live on core accounting and operational modules in roughly 90 days. Ximple’s implementation approach focuses on clean data, standardized processes, and a phased rollout to reduce risk.
Explore how Ximple ERP unifies GL, AR, AP, banking, pricing, inventory, and warehouse operations for wholesale distributors — and what it could mean for your month-end close, cash flow, and growth.
