Why You Should Make the Switch
When You Need a
Complete System
Distributors need software that’s built for them—for their specific needs. And with 30 years of experience and expertise serving distributors, TurningPoint Systems is a natural fit for distributors, even compared to SAP.
It’s important to understand what SAP and TurningPoint each do to understand how they serve your business. Along with a desire to increase efficiency, eliminate waste, and create time-saving workflow automations, there’s a desire to have something that allows for hoped-for growth that comes with a successful business enterprise.
Both ProfitPoint from TurningPoint Systems and SAP include features that can help with inventory monitoring. But ProfitPoint was built specifically with distribution in mind, which means that the depth of its feature catalog is deep and strong.
ProfitPoint Overview
ProfitPoint is specifically designed for companies who need to upgrade from a simple financial software system to an enterprise management system, one that can scale and support a warehouse management system (WMS) and also has sales force automation (SFA) capabilities.

ProfitPoint vs. SAP
SAP is an ERP system that covers financial operations and reporting, analytics reporting, inventory control, and product and service management. TurningPoint Systems offers all of that, plus the experience and expertise that comes with 30 years of service to the industry. And it’s scaled for growth—so once you sign up for ProfitPoint, you’ll never need to change your software.
ProfitPoint offers a variety of options, and its distribution-specific focus and user-friendly interfaces make it attractive to many businesses working in the distribution industry.
ProfitPoint offers all kinds of functionality and tools for distributors. It tracks items through the purchasing, shipping, and delivery process. It offers an e-commerce platform, so users can shop around the clock. And it offers analytics, so you can see at a glance how your company is doing.
Why You Should Choose ProfitPoint
For massive companies looking for accounting and enterprise software, SAP might seem like a strong choice. But small- and medium-sized companies looking to grow who need software that supports warehouse inventory operations as well as robust accounting and analytics functionality, a fully realized distribution-focused ERP like ProfitPoint is the clear winner.
With e-commerce functionality, purchasing insights/algorithms, regulatory and compliance features, and much, much more, ProfitPoint is a smart, affordable choice for businesses looking to manage their inventory, accounting, and analytics—and put themselves in a position with software that can grow with them.
