Why Wholesale Businesses Need POS and ERP Systems to Work as One

Why Wholesale Businesses Need POS and ERP Systems to Work as One

A distributor may have a reliable point-of-sale system at the counter, an ERP platform managing purchasing and accounting, a warehouse management tool controlling inventory, and an ecommerce portal taking orders around the clock. Each application may perform its own job reasonably well. The problems begin in the spaces between them.

"Sale completed."

"Inventory adjusted."

"Customer credit changed."

"Purchase order received."

Other systems can subscribe to those events and perform the appropriate actions.

The advantage is not merely speed.

It creates a clearer separation between applications, which can reduce the brittleness of tightly coupled point-to-point integrations.

Middleware Can Prevent an Integration Maze

Direct integration is attractive when only two systems are involved.

Connect the POS to the ERP and the problem appears solved.

Then ecommerce needs ERP inventory.

The warehouse system needs POS order information.
