86 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S

86 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK DISTRIBUTION ONE 4004 Church Road, Mount Laurel, NJ 08054 TEL 856-380-0629 FAX 856-222-0061 EMAIL info@distone.com WEB www.distone.com NEW ERP-ONE SOFTWARE FOR FASTENER DISTRIBUTORS IN THE POST-PANDEMIC NORMAL Supply-chain uncertainty, mandated safety measures, shifting buying preferences… The pandemic’s impact on distributors varied wildly. While fastener distributors in areas the construction and automotive industries suffered a significant drop in demand according to the “Industrial Fasteners Market - Global Outlook & Forecast 2020- 2025” report, distributors providing medical products, cleaning supplies, and paper goods experienced such high demand that it led to significant supply-chain disruptions. And some of these impacts still linger. “The pandemic wrought a perfect storm of challenges due to supply chain instability, shifting customer buying preferences, and tightening margins due to desperate competitors,” explains Larry Ward, Distribution One President. “This past year forced distributors to acknowledge shortcomings within their manual systems and legacy software. Within a very short window of time, distributors have had to prioritize spending on digital technologies to unify business systems, support remote user productivity and open E-Commerce sales channels.” As daunting as the last year has been, there’s light breaking at the end of the tunnel. “As distributors collectively review and rebuild from the past year,” continues Larry, “fastener ERP technologies will play an even larger role in daily business processes. To fulfill the technology requirements fastener distributors and wholesalers need through this transition, Distribution One proudly announces our new ERP-ONE software.” For 25 years, Distribution One has developed trusted software solutions to help fastener wholesalers and distributors achieve greater productivity while eliminating the costs of manual errors and processes. The new ERP-ONE software builds upon the strengths of its predecessors to improve the user experience and further increase fastener distribution process productivity while providing options like a fully integrated E-Commerce webstore and a seamless tax compliance service. Customized User Experience Increasing user productivity, ERP-ONE grants broader control over how users align system information with their individual Tasks by supporting the creation of user-specific contact lists, active programs, system shortcuts, and more. Visually, ERP-ONE features a larger interface with a minimum resolution of 1366x768 plus interface skin mode options like light, dark, or green. Users can also “free the window” enabling them to pop a program window out of the software environment to move it to a second screen to allow for convenient data comparison.
