Inform ERP

Inform ERP BY Advantive is a distribution-focused enterprise resource planning solution designed to help midmarket and larger distributors streamline core operations such as inventory management, order processing, purchasing, and customer relationship management. Its primary purpose is to consolidate commerce, warehouse, and financial workflows into a single platform; key features include advanced forecasting and demand planning, built-in eCommerce and mobility capabilities, an Advanced Report Writer API for live business intelligence, configurable dashboards, and workflow automation tools. The user interface is functional and utilitarian, emphasizing role-based screens and modular navigation that experienced users appreciate for quick access to transactions, while occasional users may find some areas dense; mobile applications and InformMobile extend usability to warehouse staff and sales reps, although some customers note incremental improvements could help the modern UX feel more streamlined. In functionality, Inform ERP covers order-to-cash and procure-to-pay end-to-end with special features for market-specific pricing, lost sales capture, multi-currency invoicing, and warehouse-level forecasting; the platform’s extensible APIs and integrations bring data from eCommerce storefronts, tax engines, EDI gateways, and BI tools into a cohesive workflow.
