Company Overview


BizSlate is a web-based inventory and order management solution that helps small distribution and manufacturing businesses succeed in today's global omni-channel market.

BizSlate's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) inventory and order management solution is designed to revolutionize the operations and supply chain management of small distribution and manufacturing businesses in apparel, footwear, housewares, and consumer goods. BizSlate significantly improves how these businesses manage their customers, vendors, orders, inventory, and logistics. The SaaS ERP market is hot, inclusive of Oracle's pending $9.3B acquisition of Netsuite (10x), and is expected to grow from 22% to 45% of the overall $30 billion industry by 2023. Current ERP providers such as SAP and Oracle are far too complex, cost prohibitive, and take too long to implement. Alternatively, small business solutions such as QuickBooks and Tradegecko prove to be limited in functionality, leaving companies confused about any real ROI for money spent on these options as their businesses grow beyond the start. These 2 extremes leave a large chasm where the majority of small and medium sized businesses struggle to find a solution for their needs in today's global Omni-Channel market.

BizSlate uniquely bridges the gap between small business systems and large enterprise ERPs by uniquely blending power and efficiency with ease-of-use, affordability, and mobility. Small businesses finally have the solution they need to succeed, let alone survive. BizSlate's solution is designed by a management team with over 4 decades of ERP and supply chain experience, coupled with the guidance of a customer steering committee, ensuring that every feature of BizSlate breaks the mold of out-dated legacy methodologies, and gets into the mind of the modern end user. BizSlate integrates with QuickBooks and converts it into an enterprise application, thus eliminating a huge barrier of adoption and easing the process of small business on-boarding to a new solution.

BizSlate awards include Red Herring's Top 100 global companies and CIO Reviews Top 20 ERPs for 2015.
