  ### 7. Best for inventory and financial management.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jhon H. | Project Management Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2020

**What do you like best about Distribution One?**

ERP-ONE + is a CRM software that I like because it helps me with the creation of reports in an efficient way, it also helps enormously with the management of business assets, being able to maintain control, warehouse checkout and supply chains is a task very difficult. But with ERP-ONE + everything is much simpler, nothing is forgotten, it has a very complete interface.

**What do you dislike about Distribution One?**

It has an extraordinary service for now I do not find anything negative, there are still many functions that we must discover but we know that it will be beneficial.

**Recommendations to others considering Distribution One:**

All companies must use ERP-ONE+ as they will solve many problems, small, medium or large companies. It's the best in CRM

**What problems is Distribution One solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The best thing about this tool is that the Logistics department can keep track of orders and purchase orders, so with so many functions together with this software, not only human resources are managed, but also financial management, and it is very beneficial to be able to know the market prospects through cost comparison, which has been beneficial for the company, being able to minimize costs is a giant step for the company's economy, taking into account the quality and price of the products, It is a very reliable tool and I believe that it has been created with the main needs of an organization such as being able to keep an inventory under control.

  ### 8. Would make the same decision again!!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Maria J. | IT Manager, Wholesale, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 12, 2019

Ease of use, responsiveness of support, access to data.

**What do you dislike about Distribution One?**

Sales Tax program is unnecessarily complicated, <WAPOST> takes too long to run because of the record counting, A/P check selection and printing process is confusing and overly complicated.

**Recommendations to others considering Distribution One:**

We checked with current users for a real life application.  All the customers that we talked to were VERY happy with the support provided by D1.  The same could not be said for the other ERP platforms that we were reviewing.

**What problems is Distribution One solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Significant improvement with overall gross margin, ability to control how sales department prices orders for different customers, accountability thru activity audits, inventory replenishment process.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brian D. | President, Wholesale, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 27, 2019

**What do you like best about Distribution One?**

Distribution One's ERP One software has many advanced capabilities and is customizable to our needs. We especially appreciate the import/export tools, robust API integration, e-commerce, and reporting capabilities. On top of this, they have an excellent support team and you get a real, knowledgeable human within seconds of calling!

**What do you dislike about Distribution One?**

As a D1 customer for over 10 years and a business owner, I do not have any major complaints about the company of the software. I would highly recommend their product to anyone looking for a full-featured ERP that can handle the challenging demands and needs of an industrial distribution business.

**What problems is Distribution One solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Full e-commerce integration through API, advanced reporting and analytics, custom imports such as purchase order receiving, cash receipts, etc.

  ### 10. Quality product

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 20, 2020

**What do you like best about Distribution One?**

The intuitive interface, the simplicity and the way the data is presented to the user

**What do you dislike about Distribution One?**

I think in some way the product could be more responsive and less laggy

**What problems is Distribution One solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Most of our probles are being solved by distribution one. It’s a good tool for it

  ### 11. Distribution One's ERP-ONE+ software is quite good for distribution and adequate for fabrication

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mic L. | VP, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 27, 2019

**What do you like best about Distribution One?**

What I like most about Distribution One's ERP-ONE+ software is the diversity of applications to help support day to day business needs such as AR AP GL Purchasing, Order & Quote Entry and many other supporting programs. 

**What do you dislike about Distribution One?**

The "KIT" programming could stand to be better for assemblies. There could be more reports built into the system and inquiries to quickly access common data which is needed day in and day out. Consigned Inventory needs a lot of work.

**Recommendations to others considering Distribution One:**

Learn as much of the capabilities of the software as you can and take advantage of the programs offered.
Get as much insight and suggestions from the Distribution One staff as possible and ask questions to be sure you understand how the software works.

**What problems is Distribution One solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The ERP-ONE+ software allows for some customization to tailor to individual company needs.
They have added and continue to add programs, modifications and value continually.
Customer Support is overall very good and quite responsive.
They have a user conference every few years to keep up with software development and changes. 
We are using their built in audit program with a few custom reason codes to keep up with where orders are in the picking process. This saves time as inside sales is able to look at the audit log for orders and see if an order has been received in a department, started, finished and even staged to be delivered or picked up.

  ### 12. GOOD

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kelly S. | Purchasing, Facilities Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2019

**What do you like best about Distribution One?**

Being able to use many windows while working.

**What do you dislike about Distribution One?**

Drop Ship PO's should reflect the ship FOB of the Sales Order NOT the Ship FOB of the Purchase order. Adding first time contacts into a existing vendor and it not automatically putting the vendor id in.

**What problems is Distribution One solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I do not have any problems..
