Up and running in three calm steps

1

See all your stock

Every warehouse, branch and van in one live view.

2

Automate purchase-to-pay

POs, receipts and vendor bills match three-way.

3

Execute the last mile

Routes, fulfilment and van sales with offline mode.

01

Every item, every warehouse, live

Distribution management for businesses that move real products: what you need to know

Last updated 3 July 2026 · Reviewed by the PeppyBooks product & compliance team

What is distribution management software (DMS)?

Distribution management software runs the operations of businesses that buy, hold and move stock: multi-warehouse inventory, purchasing, order fulfilment, pricing and route-to-market execution. Unlike generic accounting tools with an items list, a real DMS understands real costs, batch tracking, branch transfers and van sales — the mechanics that decide whether a distributor actually makes money.

Why real cost is the number that matters

A distributor's margin is decided before the product sells: purchase price plus freight, duty, clearing and handling. If your system prices from supplier invoice alone, every 'profitable' order may quietly lose money. Landed-cost allocation spreads those charges across the shipment — by value, weight or quantity — so item costs, and therefore selling prices and margin reports, reflect reality.

What is real cost?

Real cost is the true cost of getting an item into your warehouse: purchase price plus freight, duty, clearing and handling, allocated across the shipment. Pricing from real cost is what keeps distributor margins real.
