Why Integration Needs to Be Strategic and ERP-First

Distributors are finding that better integration doesn't just streamline systems, it also unlocks business value.
"When we see distributors eliminate manual data entry, reduce order errors, or get real-time visibility into inventory, that's when integration starts to feel less like a tech project and more like a business win," said Karthik Chidambaram, Founder and CEO of DCKAP. "Designing these integrations with an ERP-first approach helps multiple teams move faster, serve customers better, and adapt to change without getting bogged down in disconnected systems."
