About the platform

DCKAP Integrator offers a full range of customized ERP integration based on the systems and applications distributors use. Since the platform was built solely for distributors, it is easy to customize rather than rely on plug-and-play, readymade connectors all the time.

• Go-live time: 7 to 9 weeks
• ROI: Our customers typically see ROI in 6 to 9 months. John Zei, Head of IT at Tangent Technologies, quoted on LinkedIn that the company reduced the annual spend by almost $250,000
• Pricing: The base plan is $12,000 per year and covers two systems. For businesses looking for full-range customization and three systems, the Professional plan is their best bet at $18,000 per year. Pricing is transparent, with no hidden or undisclosed costs

Competitive advantage and differentiators

• Implementation: 4 to 7 weeks compared to 2 to 3 months with generic iPaaS vendors
• Industry: DCKAP is built specifically for distributors from day one, vs. most vendors are generic and for everyone
