Blue Link ERP is designed as an all-in-one, inventory and accounting software and is a great fit for companies that deal with industrial products distribution, including those that buy and sell industrial machinery and equipment. In addition to inventory management features, accounting and financials, Blue Link also provides specialized features such as service and scheduling for those dealing with equipment repairs, warranty, and maintenance.
Blue Link provides advanced functionality for managing service and repair requests and is the perfect fit for businesses that provide in-shop service and repairs, or for technicians who visit customers onsite.
When dealing with industrial products, some distributors also require light manufacturing requirements such as simple BOM, kitting and assembly and production.
Bill of Materials (BOM)
Assembly / Production Control
Kitting
Allows for inventory to be sold as pre-defined kits – groups of items sold as a single item – or sold as individual items. For example, you might sell keyboards and mice separately or together as a keyboard and mouse combo.

Blue Link’s landed cost tracking tools are essential for industrial products distribution companies that import and export equipment. With these tools, you can easily determine the actual cost of your inventory by tracking all the costs associated with getting product into your warehouse. These costs commonly include duty, brokerage, freight, insurance, storage and wharfage. The ability to track your landed costs helps you set appropriate margins and pricing. With Blue Link’s landed cost tracking features you can automatically track costs and allocate landed costs proportionately – different percentages based on weight, container, etc.
Blue Link’s product matrix is useful for any company that has the need to manage a matrix of product variables. This applies to the distribution of industrial products where some inventory items will vary in one or two elements (such as finish, diameter, thickness, size, color, pressure, length, etc). Our product matrix allows you to create and manage all the SKUs in a group and show them in a matrix for easy order entry.
