Do You Want to Ensure Profits and On Time Delivery – Every Time?

Your job is to get the right product, product quantity and pack size to the right Customer at the right time – every time, on time and to do it at a profit. The key to all of these goals is in having the right Distribution ERP Software.

At BASM, we understand distribution. We know there are nearly as many styles of distribution as manufacturing. Moreover, we know that most manufacturers also have significant distribution requirements, and require industry-specific distribution ERP software. Learn how BASM can help you choose the right distribution system and increase your bottom line.

Your Distribution business would benefit with help from BASM in any of these areas:

  • Whole Pallet – A Whole Pallet Distributor brings in product by the pallet and then sells it by truckload or container. There is no packing or repacking because the product is sold in the same format in which it was purchased.
  • Pick, Pack & Ship – Pick, Pack & Ship Distributors bring in product by the pallet and then distribute it by case or by item. The order is picked, then packed and shipped. With this type of distribution, compliance labeling is particularly challenging as there may be several different types of products in each package.
  • Drop-ship – Drop-ship distributors are similar to Pick, Pack & Ship, but generally ship smaller quantities directly to their customer’s customer, the individual or company purchasing the item. Blind labeling and appropriate shipping documents, as well as a high volume of small shipments, provide special challenges for this type of distribution.
  • 3PL (Third Party Logistics)- Third Party Logistics is a unique category. 3PLs provide product fulfillment service for another company. The 3PL holds but never purchases the product. Orders are generally taken by the owner of the product and forwarded to the 3PL for order fulfillment, although, some 3PLs provide all services from order taking through fulfillment.The 3PL may charge for their services in many different ways. Many 3PLs also provide contract storage for other companies. A 3PL may have need of EDI support and Compliance Labeling.
