Blue Link ERP vs Centerprism

Blue Link ERP combines accounting, inventory management, and contact management for wholesalers, distributors, and businesses selling through retail or e-commerce channels. Its out-of-the-box functions include payables and receivables, a general ledger, inventory management, barcode printing, order entry, and invoicing. Inventory tools cover multiple warehouses, serialized stock, multiple units of measure, automated reordering, and full or cycle counts. Optional components and customization are available, including point of sale, lot tracking, and wireless barcode scanning. Pre-built Magento and Shopify connections and marketplace integrations such as Amazon and eBay support live updates for inventory, orders, shipments, and payments. A B2B portal lets customers or sales representatives view stock and customer-specific prices, check sales history and open orders, and submit orders that sync with ERP. The product uses hybrid deployment and lists Android, iOS, web, Windows, and API platforms. Pricing is available on request and varies by users, functionality, implementation services, and deployment method. Hosted fees are paid monthly and include annual upgrades and warranty.

Centerprism is a distribution ERP for established durable-goods wholesalers, bringing order entry, inventory, pricing, purchasing, and sales onto one database. It also covers backorders, stock across multiple locations, and customer and vendor history. The integrated CRM connects customer records with ERP operations. A customer portal provides sales, invoice, and payment history, and lets buyers make payments and update account details. PrismView helps users filter, group, sort, and drill into live ERP data, then save custom views without spreadsheet exports. Prism Forecaster uses sales history, vendor lead times, safety stock, and customer buying patterns to calculate reorder points. The system can run on a customer’s server, a managed data center, Azure, or AWS. Centerprism extends Microsoft Dynamics GP: orders, inventory, pricing, and purchasing run in Centerprism, while GP continues handling portions of financial and posting workflows as replacement financial screens are completed. The maker describes a typical customer as having 5 to 50 users and inventory at one or several locations. Software uses traditional licensing with annual support; implementation is quoted at a fixed fee. Pricing is on request, and e-commerce and warehouse management are licensed separately.
