BlueApe is the AI-native ERP for small and midsize distributors that run on QuickBooks. Built by a distributor: it runs the founder's own plastics distribution business today.
The email is the order. An RFQ arrives as a sentence, not a form. BlueApe reads it, matches the item against your catalog (including the descriptions customers actually use), checks live inventory, applies that customer's pricing, drafts the quote and the reply, and follows up until there is an answer. A person reviews and hits send: nothing reaches a customer without approval.
When the customer says yes, the quote becomes a sales order, the PO goes to the vendor, inventory is allocated at the license-plate level, and the shipment is booked with UPS, FedEx or your carrier. Freight invoices are audited. A customer portal and chat handle status questions.
QuickBooks stays your books (Online and Desktop). Works with HubSpot and Microsoft 365. No implementation fee and no per-seat pricing.
