Centerprism vs Encompass Distribution Cloud

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.
