QwikPoint ERP is a cloud-based distribution management platform built exclusively for convenience store and tobacco wholesale distributors. Developed by TurningPoint Systems — a family-owned company that has served the convenience distribution industry since 1978 — QwikPoint is the only ERP designed from the ground up for the specific workflows, compliance requirements, and operational realities of wholesale distributors who serve convenience stores, smoke shops, and retail tobacco outlets.
Unlike generic ERP platforms that require extensive customization to handle tobacco-specific operations, QwikPoint ships every industry-specific capability as standard. Distributors replace fragmented systems — QuickBooks, spreadsheets, standalone POS, third-party compliance tools — with a single platform that runs their entire operation.
Core capabilities include:
Inventory management with real-time tracking and 97% verified accuracy across thousands of SKUs. RF barcode scanning for warehouse picking and receiving that eliminates paper pick tickets and delivers 2-3x productivity gains. A B2B mobile ordering app (iOS and Android) and web portal that gives retail customers 24/7 self-service ordering with customer-specific pricing, product browsing, and barcode scanning from their store. Automated MSA and MULTICAT compliance reporting integrated with Management Science Associates (MSAi), pulling directly from live transaction data with no manual exports or reconciliation. Multi-state excise tax calculations built into every invoice, with per-jurisdiction cigarette stamp tracking for stamped and unstamped inventory. Manufacturer pre-book workflows for Altria, RJ Reynolds, Swisher, Commonwealth, and other major tobacco programs. Cash-and-carry POS with distributor-specific pricing logic and post-dated check support. Route delivery management, CRM, credit card processing, commission reporting, and executive dashboards.
QwikPoint serves family-owned and independent wholesale distributors from $5M to $250M+ in annual revenue across the United States. Typical implementation takes 6-8 weeks with a dedicated US-based support team that brings decades of convenience distribution expertise to every engagement.
Documented customer results include 132% revenue growth, $270,000+ in annual operational savings, 200x reduction in picking errors, 90%+ mobile ordering adoption, and 500-700% ROI. TurningPoint Systems delivers 36-40 customer-driven product enhancements every quarter and serves 70+ active distributor customers.
