We designed it from the ground up around how fastener distributors actually operate, think, and succeed. Our fastener industry focus is what makes the difference. Fastener distribution has its own set of demands: hundreds of thousands of SKU variations with lengthy descriptions, complex grade and specification requirements, secondary processes like plating and kitting, and detailed customer certification expectations. The Business Edge handles all of these natively, so you get the results you need without extensive customization: Lot traceability and mill test reports (MTRs), with certificates of compliance tied to every shipment Dual units of measure - pieces, weight, kegs, or boxes - on the same item Bills of materials for kitting, plating, and other secondary processes Vendor managed inventory (VMI) with bin-level tracking at customer sites Complex pricing structures based on quantity breaks and customer classifications Import documentation and compliance requirements Inventory tracked by location and lot number across multiple branches The Business Edge also includes a wireless warehouse, workflow automation, CRM integration, sales tax through Avalara, and shipping through ShipEngine. Purchase orders are validated for package quantities, availability, and pricing at entry and can be submitted electronically to key suppliers without double entry. The system is designed to be learned quickly. Every screen uses the same visual cues, mouse clicks, and keystrokes, so once users understand one part of the system, they intuitively understand the rest. New hires get up to speed in hours, not weeks, and cross-training is simple. When you partner with Computer Insights, you gain more than software. Our implementation specialists, support staff, and developers bring decades of combined fastener distribution experience, so you're working with people who speak fasteners. The Business Edge serves distributors across the United States and Canada, from four employees to over 500, and scales with you whether you grow organically or through acquisition. Computer Insights, Inc. has served the fastener industry since 1993 and is based in Bloomingdale, Illinois. The Business Edge is designed, developed, and supported entirely in the USA. Fastener distributors choose The Business Edge and stay with it because it was built specifically for the detailed demands of their industry. Do more, in less time, with fewer people.
