Distru: the alternative to
Acumatica

Acumatica takes months to implement. Distru takes weeks.

Acumatica is a full-featured distribution ERP, but getting live takes 6–12 months, and multi-state operators often see even longer timelines, since each state requires its own separate implementation. And cannabis compliance? That's a separate add-on purchase on top of all that. Distru's built for cannabis operators.

why operators choose distru

Four reasons operators choose Distru over

Acumatica

Cannabis distributors switch to Distru for four reasons.
DistruCommerce
Implementation speed

Weeks, not months

Independent ERP consultants put Acumatica's mid-market implementation at 6–12 months. Add the cannabis add-on configuration and that timeline gets longer, multi-state operators have reported implementations stretching over a year, since the process has to be repeated for every state. Distru gets most operators live in weeks.
Compliance

Metrc and BioTrack Sync

Distru syncs natively with Metrc and BioTrack. No add-on purchase, no separate vendor, no extra configuration layer. With Acumatica, you're buying MaxQ or Quantum Leaf separately from their Marketplace just to get compliant.
Built for cannabis

By Cannabis Operators to Cannabis Operators

When a compliance rule changes or a new state license type rolls out, the fix ships in Distru's core product. Not in a third-party add-on roadmap you don't control. Acumatica serves 17 industry verticals. Cannabis is one of them.
QuickBooks

Keep QuickBooks

Distru integrates with QuickBooks. Acumatica's positioned as a full replacement. For operations that want to consolidate everything onto one platform, that makes sense. If you don't need that level of consolidation, Distru keeps your accounting setup in place.
Team and Support

Built by operators. Backed by the best support in cannabis.

Distru is built by cannabis operators who run the same workflows you run today.

ERP vs. cannabis-native platform

Acumatica is a general ERP.

Distru is an all-in-one purpose built for cannabis operators.

Acumatica serves 17 industry verticals. But cannabis compliance isn't built in. You have to buy a separate marketplace add-on to actually sell your products to retailers, which means another vendor. With Distru, it's all included.
Distru: cannabis seed to sale

Compliance, ordering, and inventory: in one place, live in weeks

Distru covers the full distribution stack for cannabis operators: inventory and order management, native regulatory sync, and DistruCommerce for online ordering. Most operators are live in weeks.
Native Metrc and BioTrack sync, built into the core product, not a separate add-on
Delivery manifests, auto-generated and compliant, tied directly to your orders
QuickBooks integration: handle complex financial workflows and cost accounting
DistruCommerce: give your retail buyers a branded online ordering experience
Fast onboarding: most operators go live in weeks, not months
Inventory management: lot tracking, expiry, multi-location, all in one system
Acumatica: general ERP

A broad ERP platform built for distribution across many industries

Acumatica is a general-purpose ERP. Cannabis compliance isn't part of the core product, it's a separate add-on you buy and set up on your own.
Multi-warehouse inventory with lot and serial tracking
Advanced financial management: multi-entity consolidations, AP/AR automation
Demand forecasting and distribution requirements planning
Cannabis compliance via third-party add-ons (MaxQ or Quantum Leaf), sold separately
Implementation typically takes 6–12 months for mid-market deployments
