Our technology systems work in real-time to deliver actionable information to workers, managers, and customers via wireless computers/scanners, desktop applications, and web-based dashboard views of key performance indicators.

Distributors Terminal’s technology empowers your sales staff or call center with real-time information. Your representatives know immediately what products are available for order fulfillment. The system also handles credit card orders, manages back-orders, and performs many other functions to ensure the highest level of customer service whether through a call center or online orders.

eCommerce

In addition to integrating with all ERP and EDI capable software, we can connect your warehousing, order fulfillment, transportation and tracking with eCommerce systems (i.e. shopping carts like Shopify, Magento, Amazon, and more).

And we can even setup your own eCommerce store. Your storefront, your products, customized for you. With technology that can run your orders the way you always have, we help you keep your data up-to-date.
