Ximple Distribution ERP software or wholesale distribution software solves three important challenges faced by wholesale distributors i.e. a large number of items, a large number of transactions, and the manual effort required to maintain warehouse discipline. Depending on the types of Distribution ERP software that exist, the number of items may be anywhere from a few thousand for the manufacturing industry to hundreds of thousands for wholesale distributors and retail industry or a third-party logistic (3PL) service provider.

The correct definition of items is important to the wholesale distribution industry, while Item definition is incidental in a 3PL service provider.

A large number of transactions characterizes a typical wholesale distribution warehouse. Ximple warehouse management solution helps thousands of items to be located on a single day, picked, grouped into pallets, and then loaded onto the trucks. It makes it possible to track and perform error-free transactions on a scale.

Ximple Cloud-Based WMS or wholesale distribution software and solutions enable warehouse discipline. Each allows an item or a group of items to be tagged to a specific location in the warehouse. On receipt of items, it allows being placed (put away) in the correct location.

Usually, most wholesale distributors prefer to pick past items ahead of newly received items. Ximple offers options to follow either FIFO (First In First Out) or LIFO (Last In First Out) depending upon the type of product, market needs, and unit cost. To avoid stock out, the warehouse management system generates timely Internal warehouse requisitions. Finally, warehouse management software continuously monitored for shelf life and obsolescence for items.

A Ximple Cloud Distribution ERP for Warehouse Management System is an ERP with WMS solutions integrated into the application. The main advantage is the single source of truth. The items have to be defined once in the inventory management application and used in the WMS system.

Also, the wholesale distributors can enjoy the other benefits of the Cloud like scalability and advanced security.
