What Is DistributorConnect.io?
OdinDC’s – DistributorConnect.io, is a cloud-based subscription service that streamlines a customer’s quoting and ordering processes, while accelerating purchases from their distributors.
How Does It Work For A Distributors' Customers?
DistributorConnect.io makes it easy for non-technical people to “one click” connect their existing (ERP, SMS, POS, CMS, PMS, CRM, and invoice and estimating) software, to their DistributorConnect.io connected distributors.
Each customer can “one click” connect their existing software to a distributors’ entire real time product catalog in seconds. Now they can search for items, in every connected distributors’ database, all at once, to create accurate quotes, POs and invoices on demand.
Customers can search each distributor’s real-time inventory (including item count per distributor location, item pictures, item specification links, MSRPs, each customer’s own custom prices, and more) all from within their existing software.
Customers report that they’ve immediately reduced the time they spend on their workflows by 10% to 30% per week. In some cases, they’ve lowered employee overhead too. This extra time has enabled customers to quote and invoice more.
