Distribution Management Software
Take control of inventory, purchasing, warehouse operations, and omnichannel sales. Reduce carrying costs, increase inventory turns, commit to accurate delivery dates, and fulfill orders faster with connected, real-time operations.
Manage inventory, orders, purchasing, and fulfillment in one system
Connect inventory availability, customer demand, purchasing, warehouse activity, sales orders, and fulfillment. Shared, real-time data helps teams reduce stockouts and excess inventory, improve order accuracy, and manage distribution workflows without relying on disconnected applications or spreadsheets.
Distribution management tools for every operational team
Give warehouse, purchasing, sales, operations, and finance teams role-based access to the information and workflows they need.
Warehouse Operations
Manage receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and shipping within Acumatica. Mobile scanning, barcoding, guided picking, and configurable warehouse layouts help reduce manual entry and keep warehouse transactions connected with inventory, orders, and financial records. Pick with unit-of-measure based picking across bulk, case-pick, and fast-pick zones, then ship with least-cost rate shopping, address review before labels print, and EasyPost and ShipEngine integrations that stay current as carrier requirements change.
Distribution Leaders
Monitor inventory levels, order status, warehouse performance, purchasing activity, service levels, margins, and operational KPIs through customizable dashboards. Automated alerts and current data help managers identify exceptions and respond earlier.
Sales and Customer Management
Give sales and customer-service teams visibility into pricing, availability, credit status, orders, shipments, returns, and customer history. Connected CRM and commerce channels help teams provide consistent service across online, counter, and sales-representative channels. Real-time Available-to-Promise (ATP) helps teams commit to ship dates they can keep during order entry.
Finance and Purchasing
Connect purchasing, vendor activity, inventory transactions, sales orders, payments, and fulfillment with financial management. Automated approvals and shared transaction data reduce re-entry and give finance teams better visibility into operational performance.

Inventory management
Balance inventory availability, service levels, and carrying costs
Balance customer demand, supplier lead times, replenishment requirements, and carrying costs across locations. Get real-time visibility into stock and non-stock items across warehouses while supporting complex inventory requirements.
Track products by lot or serial number, manage product families with matrix attributes such as size and color, and assemble or disassemble kits as demand changes. Automated replenishment and demand forecasting help planners determine what to buy, when to buy it, and where inventory is needed, while flexible pricing rules help protect margins and respond to customer requirements.
Purchasing and requisitions
Automate purchasing, approvals, sourcing, and replenishment
Purchase Orders
Automate every step of the procurement process, giving you real-time visibility and control over all supplier transactions. Effortlessly streamline purchasing, improve accuracy, and empower your team to make smarter, faster buying decisions.
Learn More About Purchase Orders

Learn More About Requisition Management
Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP)
Calculate replenishment by considering on-hand quantities, sales orders, and existing purchase orders within user-defined periods to ensure you have the right stock at the right time. Set a safety stock buffer to absorb demand spikes and late deliveries, or a reorder point that triggers replenishment and orders up to a maximum — sizing each order to the gap rather than a fixed quantity.
Warehouse management
Connect warehouse execution with inventory and order management
Manage receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and shipping within Acumatica. Mobile scanning, barcoding, guided picking, configurable warehouse layouts, and carrier integrations help reduce manual entry and keep warehouse transactions connected with inventory, orders, and financial records.
Omnichannel sales
Connect sales orders and fulfillment across channels

Promise ship dates you can keep with real-time Available-to-Promise (ATP), and offer related-item suggestions — including ML-generated cross-sell and upsell recommendations — in opportunities and sales quotes. Each transaction ties directly into your inventory and financials, boosting efficiency and customer satisfaction while giving you a complete view of your business.

FAQ
What is Distribution Management Software?
Distribution management software connects the processes used to purchase, receive, store, sell, fulfill, and deliver inventory. It can support inventory management, purchasing, sales orders, warehouse operations, replenishment, shipping, returns, customer management, commerce channels, and reporting.
How does Acumatica help distributors manage inventory across multiple locations?
Acumatica provides real-time visibility into available, allocated, on-order, and in-transit inventory across warehouses and locations. It supports lot- and serial-tracked items, matrix items, kits, replenishment, demand planning, transfers, and shared inventory data across purchasing, sales, warehouse, and financial workflows.
What is the difference between Distribution Management Software and Warehouse Management Software?
Warehouse management software focuses primarily on warehouse execution, including receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and shipping. Distribution management software covers a broader workflow that can include inventory planning, purchasing, sales orders, pricing, warehouse operations, fulfillment, commerce channels, returns, and reporting. Acumatica includes warehouse capabilities as part of its broader distribution management solution.
How does Acumatica support demand planning and inventory replenishment?
Acumatica helps distributors evaluate inventory levels, sales demand, open purchase orders, supplier requirements, and planning periods to determine what products need to be replenished, where they are needed, and when. Safety stock buffers absorb demand spikes and late deliveries without inflating available-to-plan quantities, while reorder points can trigger replenishment that orders up to a maximum level. These capabilities can help buyers reduce stockouts and excess inventory while maintaining appropriate service levels.
Can Acumatica tell customers when an order will ship?
Yes. Available-to-Promise (ATP) shows projected supply and demand on the sales order line, identifies the earliest date the full quantity can ship, and lets you apply that date to the order during the customer conversation.
Can Acumatica support both B2B and B2C distribution channels?
Yes. Acumatica supports B2B and B2C distribution through connected sales, CRM, ecommerce, counter sales, inventory, fulfillment, and financial workflows. Integrations with commerce platforms such as Shopify, BigCommerce, and Amazon help distributors synchronize online activity with ERP data and maintain a consistent view of inventory and orders across channels.
What integrations are available for distribution operations?
Acumatica can connect with ecommerce platforms, marketplaces, EDI providers, shipping carriers, warehouse applications, labeling systems, payment services, field-service applications, and other business tools. Available integrations and supported workflows depend on the selected product, connector, and configuration.
