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

Integration should expose the information required to complete a business process — not unnecessarily replicate every field from one application into another.

Financial Reconciliation Becomes Less Painful

Ask finance teams where disconnected systems hurt most, and reconciliation is usually near the top of the list.

The POS records sales.

The ERP records revenue.

Payment processors record settlements.

Banks record deposits.

Returns and refunds introduce additional adjustments.

If the systems disagree, someone has to determine why.

At low transaction volumes, finance teams can investigate discrepancies individually. As volume increases, manual reconciliation becomes a recurring operational burden.

Integrated systems can provide clearer relationships between:

• POS transactions;
• invoices;
• payments;
• deposits;
• refunds;
• credit memos;
• general ledger entries.
