Why distributors choose 10X ERP
The advantages that show up in everyday operations, not just the sales deck.
Built for distribution, not retrofitted
Every workflow, from kitting and lot tracking to VMI and quantity-break pricing, is built for wholesale distributors. There is no generic core to bend into shape.
10X AI included for every user
Ask questions in plain English, take action with previewed approval and one-click undo, and schedule autonomous agents. AI is a feature inside the ERP, not a separate product or upsell.
Transparent, all-inclusive pricing
One launch fee and one per-user monthly price, with every core feature included. No module-by-module quotes and no surprise line items when you add functionality.
API-first architecture
A modern, documented API sits under everything, so integrations, automations, and your own tooling are first-class instead of bolted-on afterthoughts.
Fast, cloud-native, and current
Cloud-native with sub-100ms response times and 100% uptime. Our target is roughly 100 days from signing to go-live, not a multi-quarter implementation.
Direct support from distribution people
Real humans who understand distribution answer fast, no consultant retainer required. Average support response is around 27 minutes.
