Build Your Launchpad Now!

Wholesale and Distribution Companies

The right system makes the difference between shipping on time and explaining why you didn't.

The Challenge

Distribution is a game of margins, timing, and accuracy. When your systems can’t keep up, all three start to slip. Too much stock here, not enough there, costs that are hard to pin down, and orders that take longer to process than they should. Sound familiar?

 

Legacy systems and manual workflows were fine when the volume was lower, but as your business grows, the cracks get harder to ignore.

 

The Solution

TruNova Launchpad gives wholesale and distribution businesses a structured, predictable path to Business Central. It’s built around the things that keep your operation running: inventory management, order fulfillment, purchasing controls, and real-time visibility into costs and margins.

 

We know you can’t just shut down operations for six months while you implement a new system. Launchpad is designed to get you live without disrupting the day-to-day.

The Outcome

The result is a distribution operation that actually runs the way it should: accurate inventory, clean purchasing workflows, real-time margin visibility, and reporting you can actually trust. Less fighting the fires and more forward momentum.

If any of these sound like your typical Tuesday, keep reading.

1

Your inventory lives in too many places at once

Spreadsheets, a legacy system, someone's training from 9 years ago...and none of them quite agree with each other. Getting an accurate count of what you actually have on hand shouldn't require a treasure hunt.
2

You're not totally sure what your products actually cost

Between landed costs, freight, handling, and supplier variability, true product costing is a moving target. If you don't know your real costs, you can't really trust your margins.
3

Purchasing and fulfillment are still way too manual

Purchase orders in one place, receiving in another, fulfillment somewhere else entirely. Every handoff is a chance for something to slip through the cracks.
4

Reporting is inconsistent depending on who you ask

Sales sees one number, the warehouse sees another, and finance is working from something different entirely. Getting everyone on the same page shouldn't require a weekly reconciliation meeting.
5

As volume grows, so does the operational risk

What worked at 500 orders a month doesn't work at 5,000. The longer you wait to fix the system, the more painful the transition becomes.

Launchpad Solution for Distributors

The right path depends on where you are. Smaller or single-location distributors often do great with Self-Led. You’ve got the operational know-how and Launchpad gives you the framework.

 

Multi-location operations or businesses with complex inventory and purchasing workflows are usually better served by the Consultant-Led path, where we handle the heavy lifting and make sure everything is set up right the first time.

Best for teams that want structure without full consulting:

  • A structured project plan your operations team can run without pulling people off the warehouse floor
  • Full training resources so your team knows the system before go-live, not after 
  • Your Success Plan keeps expert backup close by when questions come up
  • You own the execution, which means you control the cost and the timeline

Distributor Success Story

One regional distributor was running on a legacy system that couldn’t keep up with their growth. Their inventory was unreliable, purchasing was manual, and nobody fully trusted the reports.

 

They used TruNova Launchpad to get Business Central live without shutting down operations, and came out the other side with accurate inventory, clean purchasing workflows, and reporting the whole team could finally agree on. Sometimes all it takes is the right system and the right plan.

Built for How Distribution Actually Works

Business Central Gets Distribution.

 

This isn’t a generic accounting system with a few inventory fields bolted on. Business Central is built for the way distribution businesses actually operate. From purchase orders and receiving to pick-pack-ship and customer invoicing, this should be exactly what you’re looking for.

 

Launchpad makes sure you’re set up to use all of it correctly from day one, with best-practice configurations that support clean operations, accurate costing, and the reporting your team actually needs.
