Apex handles the order.
Distru handles the order and everything behind it.

Yes. Both platforms offer branded storefronts, B2B wholesale ordering, retailer access, and flat subscription pricing. DistruCommerce adds a full ERP behind the commerce layer natively. Retailers can also discover brands through DistruCommerce's marketplace, and operators can embed their menu directly on their own website.
Yes. DistruCommerce has its own marketplace where retailers find new brands. Operators also get a branded storefront they can embed on their own URL, so buyers can order directly from your website rather than through a third-party platform.
No. Apex Trading handles B2B ordering, METRC-linked fulfillment, and invoicing well. It does not cover cultivation tracking, manufacturing BOMs, COGS accounting, or multi-location warehouse operations. Most Apex users still run a separate ERP alongside it.
Yes, and many operators already do. Apex and Distru have a native integration. Some operators eventually consolidate onto Distru once they realize the commerce layer covers what they need. You don't have to make that call upfront.
Production management is the clearest gap. Assemblies, inline repackaging, BOMs, and the inventory adjustments that go with them aren't part of Apex. Metrc transfer creation is another. Apex syncs your inventory and attaches COAs, but pushing completed transfers into Metrc still requires steps outside the platform. Distru handles those natively as part of the same workflow.
Three reasons operators make the switch: inventory updates aren't synced automatically in Apex, so menus go stale; orders don't connect to an ERP fulfillment pipeline, creating manual re-entry; and there's no production management or COGS visibility built in. Distru covers all three.
