Pricing built around your ERP environment

The pricing depends on your setup. We look at how many systems you’re connecting (ERP, eCommerce, CRM, WMS, EDI), whether you can use one of our existing connectors or need something custom-built for a REST API or database, and how often data needs to sync. The best way to get real numbers is to tell us a bit about your stack, and we’ll put together an order form built around it.

Yes, implementation involves a dedicated onboarding process — from initial system discovery and data mapping to custom connector builds and testing. Setup fees cover our full 6-step lifecycle (Discover, Design, Build, Validate, Launch, Maintain), ensuring your integration is fully tested before going live. Submit your details above, and we’ll break down the setup and subscription costs so there are no surprises.

Generally, yes. Pre-built connectors (for popular systems like P21, SAP, Eclipse, BisTrack, Sage, Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, Salesforce, and HubSpot) require less setup time and lower upfront investment. For customized, legacy, on-premise, or specialized systems, we connect via REST APIs, web services, databases, flat files, FTP, or EDI, which involves custom scoping. Contact us for a scoping call to determine the most cost-effective path for your systems.

Absolutely. Many distributors pay excessive recurring fees to Value-Added Networks (VANs) for EDI. DCKAP transitions your EDI transactions (purchase orders, ASNs, invoices, acknowledgements) to direct, API-based automation — eliminating high per-transaction VAN charges and significantly reducing long-term operational overhead.

Don’t worry, you don’t need to replace what’s already working. DCKAP syncs with virtually any system using REST APIs, SOAP web services, direct database queries, flat files, FTP, or EDI interfaces. Whether you use a legacy ERP, a custom warehouse management system (WMS), or a specialized cloud tool, our team can build a reliable bridge for your data.

Yes, and honestly, this is where a lot of generic integration tools fall short. Distribution pricing isn’t simple, and DCKAP is built specifically for distributor workflows. We handle complex tier pricing, customer-specific contracts, promotional discounts, matrix items, and warehouse-specific inventory availability (whether you require real-time updates or scheduled batch syncs).

Definitely. Most people start with one core connection – say, ERP to eCommerce (e.g., P21 to BigCommerce) and layer on more later. CRM, WMS, EDI, Accounting, whatever comes up. You don’t have to build the whole thing on day one.

We guide you through a proven 6-Step Lifecycle:

1. Discover: Document your systems, data ownership, and workflows.
2. Design: Define sync cadence, field mapping, and exception rules.
3. Build: Configure connectors, data transformations, and custom logic.
4. Validate: Rigorously test failure cases, volume, and data accuracy.
5. Launch: Deploy live sync with active monitoring.
6. Maintain: Provide ongoing management, error handling, and API updates.

Timelines depend on integration complexity, but pre-built connectors can often go live in weeks rather than months.

Very little. DCKAP acts as your dedicated integration partner. While we need access to your systems and input during discovery and validation phases to confirm mapping and business logic, our team handles all the heavy lifting — building, testing, mapping, and ongoing maintenance.

Always. Under our Maintain phase, DCKAP actively monitors your integrations, resolves sync errors, adapts to software/API version upgrades from your vendors, and supports workflow adjustments as your business evolves — ensuring zero data downtime.

Just three things (simply fill out the form on this page with):

• Your current ERP system (P21, SAP, Eclipse, BisTrack, Sage, etc.)
• The applications you want to connect (Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, Salesforce, HubSpot, EDI, WMS — whatever applies)
• A brief overview of your business workflows or what you’re actually trying to fix, and key integration goals.
