Accolent ERP API
Accolent ERP, from ADS Solutions, is a cloud-based, browser-delivered ERP suite for wholesale distributors and light manufacturers, hosted on AWS and spanning order management, inventory, warehouse management, eCommerce, purchasing, and full GAAP accounting. An unofficial API lets you programmatically pull customers, orders, invoices, inventory, purchase orders, and general-ledger data—and push updates like new orders, invoices, and inventory adjustments back into Accolent.
What is Accolent ERP?
Accolent ERP, from ADS Solutions, is a fully integrated, end-to-end business software suite for small and mid-sized wholesale distributors and light manufacturers, built on a scalable web architecture and hosted in the AWS cloud. Distributors use Accolent to run the complete distribution flow—from eCommerce and order management through fulfillment, warehouse management, inventory, and purchasing to full GAAP-compliant accounting—accessed from any device through a web browser.
Core product areas include:
- Order Management & Processing and Sales Management
- Inventory Management and Warehouse Management System (WMS) with wireless scanning
- Multi-channel eCommerce, customer self-service portals, and marketplace links (Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, Walmart)
- Purchasing, Supply Chain, and Vendor Rebate Management with landed-cost automation
- Accounting & Financial Reporting (GL, AR, AP, bank reconciliation, multi-currency, commissions, AP automation)
- CRM, Field Service Management, Point of Sale, Integrated Payments, and Bill of Materials
- Business Intelligence & Analytics with 200+ standard reports, dashboards, and EDI
Common data entities:
- Customers, Contacts, Accounts, Pricing Tiers, Sales Reps
- Sales Orders, Quotes, Shipments, Invoices, Returns
- Inventory Items, Serial/Lot Records, Warehouses, Bins, Catch Weights
- Purchase Orders, Vendors, Receipts, Landed Costs, Rebates
- General Ledger Accounts, AR/AP Transactions, Payments, Commissions
- eCommerce Orders, Marketplace Listings, EDI Documents
The Accolent ERP Integration Challenge
Distributors run mission-critical operations on Accolent daily, but turning a browser-delivered, single-tenant ERP into API-driven automation is non-trivial:
- Browser-first delivery: Accolent runs entirely in a web browser against an AWS-hosted tenant, so much workflow data lives behind authenticated UI sessions rather than a documented public REST surface
- Distribution-specific complexity: Catch weights, serial/lot tracking, matrix pricing, and landed-cost calculations each carry their own object models that generic integrations mishandle
- Open-API variability: Accolent advertises open APIs and 300+ app connections, but endpoint coverage differs by module, configuration, and the distributor's deployment
- Multi-channel sprawl: eCommerce, marketplace, EDI, and POS order sources each feed Accolent differently and must be reconciled into one consistent order and inventory view
- Multi-warehouse inventory: Real-time stock spans warehouses, bins, and scanning devices, requiring careful synchronization to avoid overselling
- GAAP and audit requirements: GL, AR, AP, and commission transactions demand precise effective-date, audit-trail, and reason-code handling on every write
