In 2019, Lord and Sons, a 170 employee distributor, implemented INxSQL as its primary Distribution ERP and made extensive use of INxSQL across core business functions. The initial deployment established INxSQL as the single transactional engine for order entry, inventory control, purchasing, and financial posting, aligning the application to company operational needs rather than as a point solution.
Configuration work emphasized standard Distribution ERP capabilities, including real time inventory visibility, order management and fulfillment workflows, purchase order automation, accounts receivable and accounts payable, general ledger posting, lot and serial tracking, and warehouse transaction processing. INxSQL was configured to enforce pricing rules, blanket orders, and cycle count procedures to support distributor inventory practices.
Operational coverage concentrated on warehouse operations, sales order processing, procurement, and finance teams, with the application orchestrating transaction lifecycles from order intake through invoicing. The implementation leveraged INxSQL functionality to centralize master data for items, customers, and suppliers, and to instrument transaction audit trails and inventory valuation controls that span warehouse and back office workflows.
Governance design introduced role based security, defined approval paths for high value transactions, and updated standard operating procedures for order to cash and procure to pay processes, supported by application configuration rather than custom external tooling. Training and documentation efforts targeted operational users in warehouse, sales, purchasing, and accounting to ensure consistent use of INxSQL as the authoritative Distribution ERP platform.
