Solutions · Distribution
Your accounting system knows what you own. It doesn't know which pallet it's on, whether it's about to expire, or why yesterday's order shipped short. Teamship runs the physical side of your distribution business — in real time, on hardware you already own.

The problem
Most distributors don't have a software problem in accounting. They have one in the twelve metres between the receiving door and the racking.
The system says 400 cases. The shelf says 340. Nobody knows when it diverged, so every count is a guess and every promise to a customer is a risk.
Older stock ships after newer stock. When a supplier issues a recall, tracing which customers got which lot takes days of spreadsheet archaeology.
Phone, email, EDI, a web store and a rep's spreadsheet. Each channel gets rekeyed by hand, and each rekey is a chance to ship the wrong thing.
Not another place to type things. A system that directs the work and catches mistakes before they leave the building.
Real-time quantities by exact location, with rolling cycle counts instead of an annual shutdown. See inventory management.
The system directs the route and the scan confirms the item. Wrong-item errors get caught at the shelf, not at the customer. See picking.
Full traceability for food, beverage and regulated goods — and a recall that takes minutes. See lot tracking.
Check goods in against the purchase order, capture pallet photos on arrival, and direct stock to the right location first time. See receiving.
EDI, web stores, marketplaces and manual orders in one queue, with 300+ integrations and an open API.
Rate-shop carriers, print compliant labels, and design your own formats. See shipping and labeling.
Throughput, accuracy and ageing stock — plus TeamMate AI agents that answer questions in plain language.
Browser-based, so any phone or tablet becomes a scanner. No proprietary rugged devices, and a seasonal hire is productive the same afternoon.
Track whatever your category actually needs — grade, heat number, catch weight, cut, size, finish — not a fixed set of fields.
Distribution isn't one business. Beverage, pharma and industrial parts each break in different places.
If you're searching for distribution ERP software, it's worth separating two jobs. An ERP is the system of record for the whole company — finance, purchasing, reporting. It answers what did we buy, what did we sell, what's it worth?
A warehouse system answers a different question: where exactly is it, and what's the fastest accurate way to get it out the door? ERP inventory modules track quantities and value, but they rarely direct an operator to a bin, enforce first-expired-first-out, or catch a short pick at the shelf.
Most growing distributors run both. Your ERP keeps the books; Teamship runs the floor; the two stay in sync. We integrate with the accounting and ERP tools you already use rather than asking you to replace them. If you're weighing this up, read ERP vs WMS.
A 20-minute demo using your categories, your order profile and your channels — not a generic sandbox. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.
Request a DemoIt runs the physical and operational side of a distribution business: what stock you hold, exactly where it is, how orders get picked and packed, and how goods move out to customers. In practice most distributors run two systems that integrate — an accounting or ERP platform for the books, and a warehouse management system for the operation on the floor.
No. An ERP is the system of record for finance, purchasing and reporting across the company. A warehouse system directs the physical work: directed putaway, barcode-verified picking, lot and expiry control, shipping. ERP inventory modules track quantities and value but rarely direct floor-level work. Most growing distributors run both and integrate them.
Most vendors don't publish pricing, and the total often includes implementation fees, per-user charges and scanning hardware. Teamship publishes pricing from $400 per month with unlimited users, and runs in a browser on any phone or tablet so there's no proprietary scanner cost.
You need barcode scanning to get real accuracy gains, but not necessarily dedicated hardware. Browser-based systems run on any phone or tablet your team already owns, which removes the several-hundred-dollars-per-device cost of rugged scanners and makes adding seasonal staff straightforward.
Weeks rather than quarters for most distributors, depending on how many integrations you need and how clean your item data is. We'll give you a named go-live date and tell you upfront what would delay it.
