Flooring distribution software, explained.
What is flooring distribution software?
Flooring distribution software is an ERP system built for wholesale floor covering distributors. It runs sales and order entry, inventory, purchasing, warehouse management, pricing, accounting and reporting in one system, and it handles things generic distribution software overlooks: rolled goods, dye lots, cuts, small-lot and remnant waste, displays, rebates and flooring units of measure.
What software does Gartman make?
Gartman makes DMS Next, a web-based ERP system for wholesale flooring distributors, along with Gartman Warehouse for warehouse management, Gartman E-Commerce for B2B online ordering, the Gartman Sales Portal for sales reps, and DMS Connect for AI and integrations. All of them share the same live ERP data.
Does Gartman handle roll goods, dye lots and cuts?
Yes. Order entry shows each roll by tag, serial, lot and bin with the available linear feet and square yards, and cut pricing is kept separately from roll pricing. Gartman Warehouse adds a cutting machine component that processes roll good cuts and manages the remaining inventory.
Is DMS Next web-based?
Yes. DMS Next is Gartman's modern, web-based platform. The Sales Portal and E-Commerce site also run in any web browser, so reps and customers can use them from the office or the field, on any device.
What does Gartman integrate with?
DMS integrates with EDI (including selling on Wayfair), the Connect API based on FCB2B web service standards, RVI document imaging, Worldpay, Roadnet and UPS WorldShip. DMS Connect adds REST APIs and CRM integration.
Does Gartman offer AI for flooring distributors?
Yes. DMS Connect gives a distributor's own team conversational AI grounded in live ERP, inventory and pricing data, layered onto existing systems without replacing them. Customer-facing AI chat is planned for the first quarter of 2027.
How does a Gartman implementation work?
Every implementation has a dedicated project manager, Gartman people on site at go-live, and a web-based training library. After launch, support is available 24/7.
