Distribution companies have three problems: items, items and items. Managing all the inventory in distribution-heavy industries, such as electrical, HVAC/R, PVF, office products and automotive, can be a management nightmare. These sectors are potential target customers for the updated xTuple ERP, which includes the new xWD extension for sophisticated, enterprise-class inventory control. One feature of xTuple's xWD is the external catalog that allows distribution companies to merchandise non-stock products readily for immediate sales fulfillment and generation of a corresponding purchase order. The xWD module complements the open-source xTuple's existing functionality in sales, accounting and operations—including customer and supplier management, inventory control, manufacturing and distribution. xTuple gives customers the ability to tailor solutions with multiplatform support for Linux, Windows, Mac and mobile.
