FAQ's about Convenience Distribution Automation with SupplyLogic
What is SupplyLogic and who is it for?
SupplyLogic is CDR Software’s distribution management solution designed for smaller convenience distributors and cash-and-carry wholesale operations. Where DAC is built for mid-to-large full-service distributors with complex route delivery and warehouse operations, SupplyLogic is designed to give smaller operations the core functionality they need — inventory management, order processing, sales analysis, POS, and manufacturer reporting — in a system that fits their scale and budget.
How does SupplyLogic differ from DAC?
Both products are built by CDR specifically for convenience distribution, but they serve different operational scales. DAC is a comprehensive system for larger distributors with route delivery, multi-warehouse operations, and full ERP requirements. SupplyLogic is a more focused solution for smaller distributors and cash-and-carry wholesalers who need core distribution functionality without the full scope of DAC. If your operation grows in complexity over time, CDR can help assess when a migration to DAC makes sense.
Does SupplyLogic support cash-and-carry warehouse operations?
Yes. SupplyLogic includes point-of-sale functionality specifically for cash-and-carry environments — customers can shop the warehouse, and the system handles checkout and payment at a register. Payment options include cash, check, and account charge. The POS interface connects directly to inventory, so stock levels update as transactions occur. This makes SupplyLogic a practical fit for convenience wholesalers who operate a customer-facing warehouse location.
Can sales reps use SupplyLogic in the field?
Yes. SupplyLogic includes an optional Express app for remote ordering on Apple and Windows devices. Sales reps can create orders in the field by scanning product barcodes with their smartphone, and orders can be saved locally and submitted when connectivity is restored. This gives field-based reps the ability to place orders efficiently without relying on phone or paper-based processes.
Does SupplyLogic handle manufacturer reporting?
Yes. SupplyLogic supports MSA MULTICAT reporting and cigarette reporting for tobacco distributors, as well as manufacturer trade program data. Reporting is largely automated through the system’s data collection capabilities, which reduces the manual effort involved in meeting manufacturer reporting requirements. This is built into SupplyLogic specifically because convenience distributors — even smaller ones — typically have reporting obligations to tobacco and candy manufacturers.
How does SupplyLogic manage inventory?
SupplyLogic tracks inventory continuously through transactions — receipts, sales, adjustments, and audits all update inventory levels as they occur. When orders are placed, the system identifies shortages before picking begins. Purchase orders feed directly into the receiving process so incoming inventory is tracked against what was ordered. Sales analysis tools let distributors review inventory performance by customer, route, category, item, and time period to support purchasing decisions.
What does getting started with SupplyLogic involve?
CDR’s team works with new SupplyLogic customers through setup and configuration, and provides training to get the operation running on the system. Because SupplyLogic is purpose-built for convenience distribution, the configuration process is focused on your specific workflows rather than adapting a generic system. Contact CDR directly to discuss your operation and get a clearer picture of what onboarding looks like for your situation.
