Case Study: Athens Distributing achieves improved efficiencies and streamlined operations with Aptean Distribution ERP

ERP Solution Drives Efficiencies for Tennessee Wine & Spirits Distributor

Athens Distributing, a family-owned Tennessee wine and spirits wholesaler with offices in Nashville, Memphis, and Chattanooga, needed to replace a 30-year-old legacy system that handled sales reporting and invoicing while another system covered accounts payable. The company wanted a single, distribution-focused platform that could improve data sharing across offices, support financial reporting, and integrate with third-party tools, which led them to Aptean Distribution ERP.

Aptean Distribution ERP, used as Athens Distributing’s integrated ERP solution, streamlined inventory, picking, invoicing, reporting, and compliance processes while connecting with tools like FinTec and Inventiv. The results included improved data sharing, faster payments, more efficient route delivery, simplified compliance reporting, and deeper drill-down business intelligence, with fewer manual adjustments and no need for rekeying or reconciliation in the warehouse process.
