#### Methodology: How We Score Products

Here's how our rankings work. 

##### How we collect the data

* **Selecting products to score:** We define the category scope, including what features should be included for this type of software. Our analysts identify all products that fit the defined scope, then narrow down to 15 based on market presence, user ratings, feature comprehensiveness, and category fit.
* **Default scoring process:** Our analysts complete a 100+ question RFI for each product using publicly available data from user reviews, product demos, documentation, vendor websites, and case studies.
* **Verification program:** Vendors can pay for our analyst-led verification service. Their product team submits responses to our standard category RFI, which our analysts then independently review and validate.

**Note:** Vendors can't pay to rank or influence their position on our leaderboards. Our scoring criteria is the same for all products, whether a vendor partners with us or not. 

##### What we score

For our analysis of distribution software, we scored 118 features across these groups:

* Accounting and Financial Management
* Customer Relationship Management
* E-commerce Capabilities
* Integrations and Extensibility
* Inventory Management
* Mobile Capabilities
* Purchase Order Management and Procurement
* Reports, Dashboards and Business Intelligence
* Sales Order Management
* Warehouse and Transportation Management

##### How we score and weight features

Our Analyst Score measures what you get out of the box versus what requires add-ons, integrations, or custom development — because implementation complexity and hidden costs matter to your decision.

Here’s how our scoring scale works:

| Level of Support                    | Score | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |

| Moderately Supported Out of the Box | 85    | This feature is moderately supported out of the box and is immediately available after installation, without needing any additional modules, integrations, or custom development.                                                                                |
| Supported with Workarounds          | 70    | This feature is not directly available in the software but can be accomplished using other built-in features or any other workarounds, without any additional cost.                                                                                              |
| Supported with Additional Modules   | 60    | This feature is available through additional modules or products from the vendor at an additional cost.                                                                                                                                                          |
| Supported with Partner Integrations | 50    | This feature is available through additional integrations, plugins, or marketplace applications from a third-party vendor at an additional cost.                                                                                                                 |
| Supported with Custom Development   | 25    | This feature is not built in, and cannot be added by purchasing additional modules or integrations, but can be custom developed using the APIs, libraries, extensions, and development framework supported by the software, with or without any additional cost. |
| Not Supported                       | 0     | This feature isn't supported.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |

Each feature carries a default priority — high, medium, or low — set by our analysts based on market research. Higher-priority features have more influence on the final Analyst Score. You can view all priority assignments for free in our comparison platform.

[ ![Janani Hari](https://www.selecthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/cropped-janani_h_profilepicture-96x96.jpg) Written By Janani Hari, Technical Content Writer ](https://www.selecthub.com/author/janani-hari/) 

**Bottom line:** Oracle Fusion Cloud is built for mid-to-large distributors that want one suite running finance, supply chain, procurement and customer operations. If you're a smaller shop or you only need a slice of ERP, this is going to be too much system for you.

For distribution specifically, our analysis shows it covers 85% of functional requirements out of the box, with a 99 for sales order management and a best-in-class 99 for reporting. You get order capture, fulfillment, billing and supplier workflows in one place.

The tradeoff is what it takes to get there. Users say implementation is long and complex, requiring a dedicated team and careful planning. Pricing starts at $625 per user per month with a 10-user minimum, a premium commitment from day one.

For long-term scalability and deep Oracle integration, it's worth a serious look, with realistic expectations on time, cost and training.

* **Sales order management** – Manage order capture, fulfillment and billing in one connected flow with real-time visibility and intelligent routing.
* **Source-to-pay procurement** – Machine learning picks the right suppliers and flags risk while built-in analytics keep purchasing costs in check.
* **Finance close automation** – Dashboards track close progress, automate reconciliations and strengthen audit controls from a single source of financial data.
* **Project resource alignment** – Drag-and-drop Gantt charts let you balance workloads across projects, with a conversational interface for task updates.
* **Unified data model** – A single platform connects ERP, SCM, HCM and CX data so reporting pulls from one source instead of stitched-together silos.

[ ![Janani Hari](https://www.selecthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/cropped-janani_h_profilepicture-96x96.jpg) Written By Janani Hari, Technical Content Writer ](https://www.selecthub.com/author/janani-hari/) 

**Bottom line:** SAP S/4HANA Cloud fits mid-size to large distributors who need real-time inventory, supply chain orchestration, and procurement automation under one roof. If you're a small distributor or you can't put serious budget and IT effort behind the rollout, you'll likely find it too heavy.

It earned our best-in-class procurement award for distribution, and the supply chain module scored 100\. That combination — procurement plus real-time stock visibility — clicks for distributors juggling multiple warehouses and supplier networks.

Where you'll feel friction is onboarding. The learning curve is steep — some users build cheat sheets for tasks like checking a PO. Customization is tighter than on-premise SAP, so heavily tailored channel or 3PL workflows are harder to model.

Pricing starts around $100 per user per month, premium territory. Integrating older non-S/4HANA systems needs extra middleware and consulting, so factor that in.

With the budget, an experienced SAP partner, and patience to train your team, you get a deeply capable distribution platform. Smaller distributors or those running legacy systems should weigh the total lift carefully.

* **Supply chain visibility** – Real-time inventory dashboards, AI stock prediction, and automated order processing help you cut waste and meet customer demand faster.
* **Procurement dashboards** – Centralized views of requisitions, contracts, and supplier performance let you automate approvals and predict delivery timelines.
* **Sales order automation** – Machine learning pulls order details from PDFs and AI fills in missing fields, so manual data entry drops sharply.
* **Live financial dashboard** – You can track revenue, costs, and overdue invoices in real time from a single screen, which keeps cash flow visible across operations.
* **Live Kanban board** – Track containers and flag material shortages early so production and fulfillment stay on schedule.

**Bottom line:** Sage X3 is a strong pick if you run a mid-sized or large distribution operation and need real control over inventory, warehouses and multi-site finance in one place. It's less ideal if you want fast, light-touch deployment or plan to run it without expert help.

The platform really clicks for distributors with complex supply chains. Our analysts gave it a 100 for inventory management in distribution, with lot, serial and expiration tracking across multiple sites out of the box. Mobile warehouse tools also let staff scan receipts, picks and transfers on handhelds.

You'll get the most value if you operate across countries or channels. Multi-currency, multi-language and multi-legislation support are built in, and direct connections to Shopify, Amazon and Magento let you manage orders and stock from one dashboard.

Pricing isn't public, but estimates put annual costs at $20,000–$60,000, with implementation often $180,000–$250,000\. A serious commitment, making sense once you've outgrown lighter ERPs.

Plan for a real implementation: certified Sage partner, structured training, and clear customization scope, since heavy tailoring complicates upgrades.

* **Multi-site inventory control** – Track stock in real time across warehouses by lot, serial number and expiration date to cut errors and meet compliance rules.
* **Mobile warehouse tools** – Staff use handheld devices to scan items and handle receiving, picking and stock transfers, which speeds up fulfillment and reduces paperwork.
* **E-commerce channel sync** – Direct integrations with Shopify, Amazon and Magento let you manage orders, inventory levels and customer data from one dashboard.
* **Quality control workflows** – Automated inspection, hold and approval rules track product movement from receipt to shipment to help meet FDA, ISO or customer standards.
* **Multi-entity operations** – Built-in multi-currency, multi-language and multi-legislation support lets you add warehouses or expand internationally without switching systems.

[ ![Janani Hari](https://www.selecthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/cropped-janani_h_profilepicture-96x96.jpg) Written By Janani Hari, Technical Content Writer ](https://www.selecthub.com/author/janani-hari/) 

**Bottom line:** NetSuite is a strong pick if you run a mid-sized or larger distribution operation and want inventory, warehouse, order management and financials living in one cloud platform. It's harder to justify if you're a small distributor on a tight budget or short on internal IT help.

The real draw for distributors is unified data. You get real-time stock levels, order status and supply chain activity alongside financials, cutting spreadsheets and speeding decisions when demand shifts. Our analysts gave it a perfect score for inventory and real-time data.

If you operate across multiple warehouses, regions or channels, NetSuite handles the complexity. Multi-subsidiary management, multi-currency, and SuiteCommerce for online and in-store sales are built in, so you're not bolting on extras.

The tradeoff is cost and effort. Licenses and services for up to 15 users run $20,000–$70,000, with a steep learning curve and long, resource-heavy rollout. Connecting niche distribution apps can need scripting work.

Pick NetSuite when you need a scalable ERP backbone for distribution and can commit the budget and time.

**Bottom line:** Inform ERP is a strong fit if you're a mid-sized to large distributor with complex operations and want one system instead of several. It's less ideal if you're a small shop looking for something light, modern, and quick to set up.

Users like how much it covers. Inventory, orders, financials, CRM, and reporting live in one place, cutting the patchwork most distributors deal with. Industry-specific modules give a head start in electrical, irrigation, fasteners, janitorial, packaging, or rubber.

The tradeoff is ramp-up. The system has many features, so initial setup and learning curve can be heavy. Customizing often pulls in developers, and reporting takes patience before you get clean answers.

Pricing starts at $10,000 as a one-time cost, meaningful upfront but reasonable for a full distribution suite. On-premise, cloud, or hybrid deployment lets you match it to your budget and IT setup.

If you want depth and software built around how distributors actually work, Inform ERP earns a shortlist spot. Expect a dated UI and real setup effort.

* **Financial management** – Posts transactions to the general ledger as they happen and archives invoices, statements, and reports automatically, so your books stay current without manual cleanup.
* **Demand planning** – Forecasts material and production needs and recalculates replenishment in real time, helping you adjust to sudden demand swings and rebalance warehouse overstocks.
* **Order fulfillment** – You can turn quotes into orders with one click, track defective parts and vendor reimbursement claims, and run PCI-compliant card processing at checkout.
* **Embedded CRM** – Stores purchase history, order status, and personal notes alongside shared calendars, giving your sales staff context for more personalized customer conversations.
* **Warehouse logistics** – Lets you assign transportation to orders and build delivery routes that account for weight, volume, and stops, then print manifests and shipping documents from the same screen.

**Bottom line:** Prophet 21 is a purpose-built distribution ERP that fits you best if you're a mid to large wholesale distributor juggling inventory, pricing and fulfillment across multiple locations. If you're a small shop without ERP experience or budget for consultants, it's likely overkill.

The system is built from the ground up for distributors, so multi-warehouse routing, contract pricing, vendor rebates and split shipments work without heavy customization. That's a real edge over platforms like SAP S/4HANA or JD Edwards, which usually need rework to fit distribution.

It plays well with your existing stack. Deploy cloud or on-premises, with open APIs to accounting, credit card processors, Avalara, and its own CRM. Industry coverage runs deep — electrical, fasteners, HVAC, medical supply, plumbing, welding and more.

The tradeoff is cost and complexity. Entry subscriptions start around $40 per user per month, but implementation for a small business runs $20,000–$50,000, and larger rollouts top $100,000\. Custom reporting needs technical help, and the cloud version can lag at peak hours.

* **Warehouse management** – Barcode scanning, mobile picking and automated task management help you move more orders without adding warehouse headcount.
* **Order management** – Split shipments, contract pricing and backorders are handled in one flow, so you process complex orders without manual workarounds.
* **Purchase automation** – The system triggers purchase orders based on demand signals, stock thresholds or vendor terms to cut errors and avoid stockouts.
* **Mobile CRM** – Sales reps view customer history, enter orders and manage opportunities from any device without installing app-specific software.
* **Epicor Commerce Connect** – Run multiple branded web stores from one system with real-time inventory and pricing sync to the ERP backend.

**Bottom line:** IFS Cloud is a strong pick if you run a mid-to-large distribution operation and want ERP, supply chain, and asset management on one platform. It's not the right call if you're a small or lean team looking for something simple to stand up.

The platform clicks for distributors that also handle manufacturing, field service, or heavy assets. You get supply chain planning, procurement, and finance in one place, cutting silos. Users at companies like Hafslund Oslo Celsio cite running ERP, EAM, and FSM together as the main reason they picked it.

Integration needs careful planning. IFS Cloud connects through APIs and pre-built connectors and works with legacy software during upgrades, but complex setups take real time and resources. If you have dozens of systems to wire in, budget upfront.

On cost, this is an investment. Setup typically lands at $100,000–$500,000, with subscriptions roughly $200–$500 per user per month. The long-term commitment is real — switching ERPs later isn't cheap, so expect a multi-year relationship.

* **Supply chain management** – AI-driven demand forecasting and planning help you optimize inventory, protect margins, and speed up cash flow across your network.
* **Procurement source-to-pay** – Supplier management, contract creation, and spend analysis sit in one workflow so you can cut unnecessary spending and stay compliant.
* **Real-time finance** – Accounts receivable, accounts payable, and general ledger run on live data with support for multi-currency transactions and global compliance.
* **Manufacturing execution** – The MES module gives you real-time production insights and supports make-to-order and assemble-to-order models with AI-driven scheduling.
* **Native mobile apps** – Your team can handle task management, approvals, and data collection from the warehouse floor or out in the field.

**Bottom line:** JD Edwards EnterpriseOne fits mid-to-large distributors running complex, multi-site operations that need a scalable ERP backbone. It's a strong pick if you want end-to-end visibility from procurement to delivery, but it's a tough fit if your budget is tight or your IT team is small.

Distribution is one of its sweet spots, with a track record in manufacturing and industries like food and beverage, automotive, retail, and transportation. You can track products and materials from procurement through manufacturing to distribution, spotting bottlenecks before they hurt fulfillment.

The modular setup is useful for phased rollouts. Start with financials or SCM, layer on human capital or project management later. Cloud or on-premise deployment is your call, and multi-country, multi-language, and currency support fits cross-border distribution.

The tradeoffs are real. Pricing starts at $1,000 per user per month, climbing fast with hardware, consulting, training, and the 22% annual maintenance fee. The interface takes time to learn, and the mobile app is thinner than competitors — worth weighing if warehouse and field staff live on phones.

* **Supply chain visibility** – Track products and materials as they move from procurement through manufacturing to distribution, with views to spot and resolve bottlenecks.
* **Asset lifecycle management** – Condition-based maintenance flags machinery issues early, and rental management handles contracts, receiving, and servicing returned equipment.
* **Flexible deployment** – Run it in the cloud or on-premise so you can match the setup to your IT footprint and warehouse environments.
* **Modular ERP architecture** – Pick only the modules you need today across financials, SCM, HCM, and projects, then add more as your operation grows.
* **Global operations support** – Built-in support for multiple countries, languages, currencies, and regional compliance rules helps you run cross-border distribution.

**Bottom line:** Aptean ERP is a solid pick if you run a mid-sized distribution operation and want industry-specific functionality without paying for the heaviest enterprise suites. You get tailored modules for distribution, real-time inventory, and a packaged feature set that covers most of what you need to plan, ship, and track orders.

It sits in a middle ground. You won't get the depth of SAP or Oracle NetSuite, so large or highly complex businesses will outgrow parts of it. For mid-market distributors wanting a balance of features and ease of use, that tradeoff lands in your favor.

Pricing starts at $250 per user per month, steep for smaller shops. Integrations are the other watch-out — connecting to WMS, EDI, or e-commerce may take extra development. Reporting often pushes you back to Excel for real depth.

You'll get the most out of it if you want a packaged industry build and can live with customization friction. If you need a deeply tailored fit or heavy third-party connectivity, plan for added effort or look elsewhere.

* **Real-time inventory visibility** – Stock levels update live across sales channels, so you can match supply to demand and keep order fulfillment on track.
* **Production scheduling tools** – Plan what to make, when to make it, and which resources to use, helping production line up with distribution needs.
* **Role-based dashboards** – Pre-built charts and drill-downs give each role a view of the metrics that matter, without building dashboards from scratch.
* **Central customer database** – Customer records sit in one place and connect across departments, so sales, service, and fulfillment work from the same information.
* **Order and shipping tracking** – Real-time reporting tools follow customer orders and shipments, letting you give accurate status updates without chasing data.

[ ![Simran Yadav](https://www.selecthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Simran-Headshot-96x96.jpg) Written By Simran Yadav, Technical Content Writer ](https://www.selecthub.com/author/simran-yadav/) 

**Bottom line:** Acumatica Distribution is a solid pick if you're a small or midsized distributor who wants one cloud system to run inventory, orders, purchasing, and warehouse operations as you grow. It's less ideal if you need heavy customization or rich custom reporting without bringing in developer help.

You get real-time visibility into stock levels, order status, and shipments across locations, which makes day-to-day decisions easier. Users like the interface and the breadth of features, and they call out the customer support as a real strength when the learning curve hits.

The cloud setup scales without rebuilding your IT footprint, and native connectors to eCommerce, CRM, and accounting tools keep data out of silos — useful for omnichannel or wholesale operations spanning multiple systems.

Pricing starts at $2,500 per user annually, mid-to-upper range for distribution ERP. Plan for ramp-up and budget developer help if you'll lean on custom reports or deep tailoring. With those tradeoffs, it's a strong fit across wholesale, retail, and logistics.

* **Inventory management** – End-to-end traceability tracks stock up and downstream, with first-expired-first-out picking to manage perishables and stay compliant.
* **Replenishment engine** – Algorithms calculate accurate cycle volumes using your reorder points, safety stock, seasonality, and lead times to keep shelves stocked.
* **Warehouse automation** – Custom picking, packing, and shipping workflows cut errors, while integrated barcode scanning captures lot and serial numbers automatically.
* **Order management hub** – A central ERP view records prices, inventory, discounts, and shipments in real time, and your team can work from any device through the mobile app.
* **eCommerce and POS** – Native connectors link digital storefronts to the back office, and mobile-friendly POS apps tie into barcode scanners and cash registers for omnichannel selling.

### Deployment Methods

As with most other business software, distribution management software can come in one of two forms of deployment: on-premise or cloud-based. Let’s take a closer look at each.

#### On-Premise

On-premise deployment means your distribution management software is housed on a computer or network physically located within your organization, allowing you to maintain complete control over the software, users and data. This deployment strategy protects critical data from malicious access by managing and maintaining it with an in-house IT department.

However, on-premise deployment is more expensive considering deployment and solution maintenance costs, and isn’t as easy for small businesses to implement because of its high upfront cost of entry.

#### Cloud-Based

Cloud-based software deployment means entrusting the software to its parent company. While your business has less direct control, housing the software online reduces the cost of entry and makes the vendor responsible for things like maintenance and updates. You can also use the software more easily, since any web-connected device can access the cloud. As processes become more complex, it’s easy to scale and accommodate additional modules.

In addition to scalability and cost-saving, resilience, accessibility and disaster recovery are other benefits of cloud-based solutions. On the other hand, if the cloud is down, it may temporarily affect business processes and prove detrimental in terms of cost. Some businesses may also have concerns about data security being put into the hands of another entity.

### Primary Benefits

Let’s look at the benefits of distribution software.

![Primary Benefits of Distribution Software]()

#### Reduced Costs

Distribution management software contains modules to organize the costs of operating warehouses and distribution centers into a framework that makes comparing them across locations easier. These include cost assignment, calculation, reporting, analysis and the aggregation of financial reporting statements, helping you minimize outgoing funds while maximizing company profits.

#### Faster Shipments

Between order and inventory tracking and warehouse management, distribution management software enables you to have a complete view of — and the ability to optimize — your supply chain, which further enables on-time shipments, order fill rates, line fill rates and pick accuracy. Other key metrics include inventory accuracy, space utilization, labor productivity, receiving, put-away, replenishment, picking and shipping.

#### Improved Scheduling

Adopting distribution management software can help a business meet their production and delivery goals by the dates and times promised by measuring and improving internal schedule compliance — an excellent way to make sure delivery dates and locations are correct and costs are low.

#### Better Visibility

Distribution management software provides a detailed view of each step in the supply chain, from initial material supply to final product delivery. This allows you to monitor your warehouses’ supply of resources and products and reorder when they’re running low, as well as identify and circumvent slowdowns in the process.

#### Higher Reputation

Distribution management software’s process automation features enable faster service, precise delivery and instant resolution of customer complaints during order fulfillment. This in turn improves customer satisfaction in your business, leading to better reach and more repeat business.

### Implementation Goals

Before purchasing distribution management software, it’s important to have a set of goals in mind for what you and your business hope to achieve by adding it to your workflow. These will be different for every business, but here are a few to consider for your own list - just remember that goals work best when they’re measurable, so make sure you have solid numbers for them.

| **Goal 1** Customer Retention                 | Through increased efficiency and transparency regarding deliveries, good use of distribution management software should lead more customers to return to your business. Set a goal for what number of repeat customers you’d like to have over a certain number of months — your software should help you meet or exceed it.                                          |
| --------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Goal 2** Faster Average Delivery Times      | Automating certain parts of the supply chain with distribution management software should ideally cut down on the time it takes to deliver a product to customers. While you can’t always stop unforeseen issues or delays, averaging delivery times before and after incorporating a new software solution can help indicate how much your performance is improving. |
| **Goal 3** Consistent Warehouse Supply Levels | Distribution management software’s automation capabilities can keep your warehouses from running too low on supplies by automatically reordering them when stock reaches a certain minimum threshold. This can help keep you from experiencing shortages or delays.                                                                                                   |
| **Goal 4** Improved Manufacturing Time        | Automating parts of the supply chain process with distribution management software can also speed up the time it takes to turn raw materials into the goods you sell. It’s more advantageous to measure these parts separately rather than as a whole, as you can then pinpoint where the software is helping most of all and where it may need your attention.       |
| **Goal 5** Increased Incoming Revenue         | As an overall goal, businesses want to maximize profits, and measuring the amount of money you’re earning before and after implementing distribution management software is an indirect but helpful indicator of how it’s affecting your business. As long as it’s increasing, you can be sure you’ve made the right software decision.                               |

### Current and Upcoming Trends

![Distribution Software Trends]()

#### The Advent of Omnichannel Retailing

Customers are more likely to engage with brands that use multiple channels to reach out to them, a phenomenon known as “omnichannel” retailing. Software makes it much easier to leverage these channels and track their performance from a single location.

While [eCommerce is booming](https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasongoldberg/2022/02/18/e-commerce-sales-grew-50-to-870-billion-during-the-pandemic/) due to its unbeatable convenience, there are still many advantages to selling in physical stores, through catalogs and even on television shopping networks, giving prospective customers more options to find and purchase your products and enabling you to reach multiple target audiences at once.

#### Expansion into Global Markets

Most businesses can find greater success by expanding into international markets, allowing them to sell to customers in several different regions. This expansion requires more focus on digitizing supply chain workflows, implementing cross-border trade and cross-channel marketing strategies, streamlining payment technologies and providing international shipping services.

Distribution management software can assist in this expansion by calculating international shipping costs and taxes, as well as monitoring warehouses in multiple regions to ensure shipping takes minimal time and effort.

#### Supply Chain Automation

[Supply chain automation](https://www.selecthub.com/supply-chain-management/supply-chain-automation/) lets distributors effectively manage day-to-day operations and make informed decisions about staffing, shipping and warehousing, facilitating smarter inventory management. This is an industry standard inclusion for most distribution management software, giving companies of all sizes the ability to monitor their supply chain and minimize the tasks they need to perform.

Automating a business’s supply chain helps reduce the time taken for the whole process, and allows you to send customers real-time information on when the item they want will be in stock and when it’s expected to arrive at its destination. Some distribution management software also uses machine learning to help you anticipate demand.

### Software Comparison Strategy

Now that you understand how distribution management software can help your business, how do you figure out which options are best for your business? We recommend starting with our [in-depth comparison report](https://pmo.selecthub.com/distribution-erp-site-vers/?category%5Fslug=distribution-software&product%5Fslug&slug=distribution-software&origin%5Furl=https%3A%2F%2Fselecthub.com%2Fdistribution-software%2F&category=Distribution%20Software&scorecard%5Fid=567). Once you’ve made a list of software needs and wants, take a look at how some of the most popular software vendors stack up regarding product support and integration across various features.

It’s important to do research on individual software and vendors as part of this process too. Ask questions internally about requirements, as well as questions of vendors about their software and support to make sure you’re making the best decision for your business. You can use [the questions we’ve written out below](#11) as a guide.

### Cost and Pricing Considerations

While you’re making a software comparison, you’ll want to be sure you consider how much your company can reasonably spend. For example, if you choose to deploy an on-premise system, you’ll have to purchase a one-time or recurring license. However, if you opt for a cloud product, you’ll pay less up front, but you’ll have to consider the long-term costs of a recurring subscription.

Additional costs include:

* Version upgrades
* Add-ons
* Data migration or customization services
* Training
* Implementation and maintenance

### Questions To Ask Yourself

Use these questions as a starting point for internal conversations:

* How much are we willing to spend on new software?
* What systems will we need to be sure our software integrates with?
* What features and requirements are most important for our business goals?
* How many employees will we need to onboard?
