Understanding your business is what sets Aptean apart. Our ERP specialists are experienced in consumer goods importing and distribution and provide analysis to ensure your business processes are aligned with industry best practices. And whether you are looking for an on-premise or cloud solution, Aptean Distribution ERP was built to fulfill your core functions right out of the box, to help you streamline and optimize your entire supply chain.
Aptean Distribution ERP’s industry-specific functionality includes:
Aptean Distribution ERP software features include:
Our distribution ERP includes built-in warehouse management tools allowing for improved management of inventory, including receiving, picking and putaway of goods.
Aptean Distribution ERP DRP tools integrate point-of-sale data, customer forecasts, historical sales trends, seasonality, supplier lead times and more to help you optimize purchasing decisions.
Aptean Distribution ERP Shipment Manager supports seamless integrations with all the major carriers (UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc.) and offers integrated shipping rate shopping as well as street address verification.
Import Management features help you achieve perfect order fulfillment to get your customers the right products at the right time. Shipment, vessel and container tracking, and management tools provide visibility of incoming inventory and the system automatically tracks and calculates your landed costs — so you understand your true profitability.
Aptean Distribution ERP helps enterprises manage chargebacks — the fees that retailers charge to suppliers, often due to errors. Through improved tracking and better maintaining related records, you can reduce the number of chargebacks you incur and recover erroneous charges.
With shipping tools — including route management, dynamic routing, BOLS (bill of lading) and packing slips — Aptean Distribution ERP allows consumer goods importers and distributors like you to bring a new level of organization and oversight to your operations.
The Aptean Distribution ERP system brings simplicity to the bottom line when used as the primary general ledger and accounting tool for accounts payable and receivable.
For greater flexibility, Aptean Distribution ERP can be deployed either in the cloud or on-premise. Both options are made easy with an experienced team on hand to help streamline implementation.
Aptean Distribution ERP provides relevant and valuable business intelligence, powered by Microsoft Power BI, on profitability, financial data, sales figures, operational reports and compliance reporting.
Customer Portal offers a sleek, web-based means for customers to access product details, view customer-specific pricing and terms, and input their own orders. Not only does this save time for customer service representatives, but it also minimizes errors because data flows directly into the system. The Supplier Portal offers a streamlined, web-based means for customer suppliers to directly add production, shipping and PO updates. This way, customers don’t need to waste time repeatedly checking on these issues.
EDI typically provides automatic data transfers for more efficient communication with trading partners. With EDI Transaction Manager, this capability is fully integrated into the Aptean Distribution ERP system, providing drag-and-drop EDI map creation tools for self-service EDI management. This solution eliminates the need for third-party EDI software and provides EDI transaction archiving for data storage, retrieval and inquiry. With EDI Managed Services fully integrated into the Aptean Distribution ERP system, the EDI team monitors and manages day-to-day EDI processes and transactions (including mapping) to ensure everything is running smoothly. This allows you to stop worrying and instead focus on running your business.
Aptean Distribution ERP Supplier Production Monitoring enables you to monitor, manage and track the production activities of all your overseas suppliers. Uniquely integrated within Aptean Distribution ERP, monitoring tools enable you to gain deeper visibility into the tasks, compliance mandates and informational requirements of all your supply-side activities.
The Aptean Distribution ERP Product Lifecycle Management solution enables organizations to manage their workflow process from concept to product within a fully integrated enterprise resource management system. This solution takes the complex process of creating a product and gives you the tools to coordinate the work of multiple teams to ensure that each task is done on time, and, most importantly, well.
