I chose ALOX4 because it lets me put my sales knowledge in front of more people, more efficiently.

We're turning up the heat on processing!

In the fastener industry, you can't escape the interconnected industry of heat treating, coating, and finishing. After multiple requests to expand into this area we are launching our Process Module to receive, manage, and track lots through your facility.

Busy dock?

Customer deliveries can show up in multiple trucks. Track who received what and when.

Where are my parts?

See where each lot and bin is, what’s been completed, and what happens next—without walking the floor.

Lots don’t stay together?

Split bins, combine loads, and trace every branch back to the original customer lot.

Ready for the furnace?

Review recipes and paperwork before releasing work to the floor, with separate permissions for approval and processing.

What actually arrived?

Capture receiving photos, weights, and quantities so your team has a clear record of what came through the dock.

Only part of the job is ready?

Ship completed parts while the rest remain in process, keeping every shipment connected to the original job.

We Live Distribution Daily

No one else that builds ERP / Accounting software is also running their software in their own brick and mortar stores and warehouse every day.

Fighting part numbers?

Customer numbers. Vendor numbers. Barcodes. Internal SKUs. When they don’t align, orders get delayed or shipped wrong. ALOX4® links every identifier to one clean item record so everything matches the first time.

Always looking up special pricing for a customer?

Reps checking spreadsheets or “asking accounting.” Every manual override risks margin leakage. Pricing rules apply automatically, by customer, group, or quantity, so margins stay protected.

Who touched this order?

Shared logins. Mystery edits. No clear accountability. When something goes wrong, no one owns it. Every action is tied to a real user, with unlimited seats so accountability never costs extra.

Quotes taking forever?

“Let me check on that.” Slow quotes lose deals and frustrate customers. Customer pricing, history, and rules are already there, so reps can quote immediately.

Is your warehouse a mess?

Inventory in the system doesn’t match what’s on the shelf. Counts take too long and trust erodes. Zone-based inventory keeps counts clean and organized, without fragile scanner ecosystems.

Need Full Cloud?

Available wherever you are, on any device you have. No babysitting a server in the back room. No install hassles.

Processors: Are you a good fit for ALOX4®?

Your customers send you parts. You send them back heat treated, coated, plated, or finished. In between, you’re responsible for knowing what arrived, where it went, what happened to it, and what shipped back.

ALOX4 Process is designed for shops that:

  • Process customer-owned parts.
  • Receive jobs across multiple deliveries.
  • Track parts by lot, bin, weight, or piece count.
  • Split lots or combine parts into shared processing loads.
  • Follow customer-specific recipes and requirements.
  • Ship completed quantities while the rest remain in process.

Whether you run a heat-treating shop or another industrial finishing operation, your software should follow how material actually moves through your facility.

Sound like your shop? Show us a typical job. We’ll walk through how ALOX4 handles it, from receiving to shipping.

Distributors: Are you a good fit for ALOX4®?

The worst software tries to be everything to everybody. We're going to make your day easier by telling some of you right away that ALOX4® is not for you.

Are you a one person business knitting funky caps and selling them on Etsy? Cool, you should definitely head over to QuickBooks or Xero immediately. Tell 'em we sent you.

Do you own a multi-national chain store, with 280 locations spread across multiple countries? Well dang, very impressive! Probably a good bet the boys from SAP or PeopleSoft are already in a jet and flying in your direction.

Own a restaurant? Delicious! Sorry, ALOX4® tech is not for you, hit up the folks at Toast or Square. They'll cook up a solution for you.

Are you Ford Motor Co, or John Deere Tractor Inc, or Harley Davidson USA? Ok, if your gig is world-wide manufacturing plants, pass on ALOX4® and call up IBM and have them get Watson on the case. Get out the big iron, a real mainframe is what you need. Queue the suits!

ALOX4 is designed for companies that:

  • have 1 to 40 stores
  • have 100 to 80,000 SKUs
  • have front counter sales
  • focus on in-person sales
  • order by pallet or container

Sound like you? Awesome!

Real Commerce

Most of "real commerce" isn't sitting at glass desks on the 50th floor gathering around a virtual whiteboard. It's in the warehouse, the sales floor, the shipping, the special orders, the customer relations.
