Encompass Technologies

Encompass Technologies is a highly aggressive, fiercely modern, and massively disruptive cloud-native ERP platform that serves as the absolute primary rival to the legacy dominance of VIP in the "Beverage and Foodservice Distribution" space. While older systems were built on decades-old architecture, Encompass was built from the ground up as a pure Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, offering stunningly fast web interfaces and modern APIs. The absolute core superpower of Encompass is its "Voice-Picking and Warehouse Automation." Beverage warehouses move staggering amounts of heavy liquid at blistering speeds. Encompass natively includes highly advanced voice-directed picking software. A warehouse worker wears a headset, and the system verbally tells them exactly which slot to walk to and how many cases of Miller Lite to put on the pallet, drastically reducing human error and increasing loading speed. Furthermore, Encompass excels in "Direct Store Delivery (DSD)." Their mobile application allows sales reps to walk into a grocery store, look at historical purchase data, and instantly build an optimized restocking order on their iPad. They have aggressively expanded beyond beverages into standard food distribution. For modern distributors looking to abandon legacy on-premise servers for a blisteringly fast, cloud-native ecosystem, Encompass is formidable.
