Wholesale Distribution Software

Wholesale distribution software is about moving product to customers accurately and at speed: turning approved orders into picked, packed, dispatched goods — and then invoicing without the admin falling over. In distribution, the margin is in the flow. Delays, mis-picks, and invoicing errors are what quietly erode it, and the right software stops all three.

The bread and butter is the pick, pack, and ship workflow. Orders arrive from your customers or your own sales team, get picked from stock, packed for dispatch, and shipped with the right paperwork. A good system keeps that moving quickly — a pick list that timbres to stock level, barcode scanning that confirms you grabbed the right unit, and shipping details attached to the order as it leaves. When stock is counted as it's picked, your numbers stay honest without a separate admin step.

Alongside fulfilment sits invoicing. Your approved and dispatched orders need to become invoices your customer pays, and ideally flow straight into your accounting without rekeying. Distribution businesses that invoice late or inconsistently strain their cash flow — the money arrives slowly and the age of debt piles up. Software that turns an approved dispatch into an accurate bill, and tracks it against payment, keeps the books the business runs on accurate.

BSimple's tools cover the whole run from order through fulfilment to invoice. Orders funnel in via the customer ordering portal or your sales team, picking and dispatch print from live stock, and invoices flow to Xero in lockstep. For the operational breadth — stock across multiple locations and stock management software as your ledger of truth — it all hangs together with the same wholesale toolkit that keeps distribution businesses profitable.
