Introduction
Managing a wholesale or distribution business in Kenya involves juggling multiple processes—inventory control, order fulfillment, logistics, and financial tracking—often across multiple branches or warehouses. Without a centralized system, errors, delays, and inefficiencies are inevitable. Enquest ERP, developed by Endeavour Africa, offers a comprehensive solution that simplifies these complex operations, allowing businesses to scale confidently and profitably.
Challenges in the Wholesale and Distribution Industry
Wholesale and distribution companies deal with a high volume of goods and often serve a diverse customer base across regions. Manual systems and disconnected software tools can result in stock mismatches, late deliveries, payment delays, and poor customer service. As competition intensifies and customer expectations evolve, businesses need smarter systems to keep up.
Key Functionalities of Enquest ERP for Wholesale & Distribution
Enquest ERP is designed to support wholesalers and distributors with powerful features that ensure accuracy, visibility, and control throughout the supply chain.

One of the biggest pain points for distributors is tracking fast-moving and slow-moving inventory across warehouses. Enquest ERP provides real-time stock tracking with automatic reorder alerts, batch and lot management, and expiry tracking for sensitive goods. This ensures that inventory levels are always optimized and losses due to overstocking or understocking are minimized.
Sales and Procurement Workflow Automation
Enquest ERP simplifies every aspect of sales—from quotation to dispatch. Sales representatives can create quotes and convert them to orders in seconds. Meanwhile, the procurement module ensures that purchasing is automated based on reorder levels, sales trends, and vendor performance.
