Systems Solutions: It's What We Do
SSI provides software systems for business products distribution. We have specialized solutions for all phases of distribution, including e-commerce, accounting and backoffice operations, delivery, and on-site service.
More than just a generic accounting package, SSI Edge provides tools specifically designed to manage sales and operations in B2B-oriented industries such as commercial office products, business technology, contract furniture, industrial supplies, facility maintenance, electrical and plumbing supplies, retail hardware, and more. That's one of the reasons why distribution-based companies throughout North America rely on SSI software.
Advanced Technology
Great software starts with a great foundation. We begin with modern, Web-oriented development tools like Java and Oracle’s GlassFish Server. and incorporate proven, open-source technologies like Linux and MYSQL Server to deliver reliable, low-cost performance. Our products are designed to run from the cloud and feature customizable, Web-based interfaces for a superior user experience.

No Long-Term Contracts
Some software companies think the best way to keep customers is through long-term contracts with automatic renewals and termination policies so restrictive that it feels like you can only cancel at 11:57 PM on the second night after a blue moon.
At SSI, we think there is a better way: delivering powerful software at an affordable price, constantly improving it, and backing it with responsive support from people who understand your business. But we also understand that no software (even ours) will be right for every company of every size, business model and product mix. That's why we don't have long-term contracts; if SSI just isn't the right solution for your business, then you're free to leave at any time.
To Cloud or Not to Cloud
Cloud-based software offers a lot of benefits. Two of the most important, especially for smaller companies, are simplicity and the silver lining of lower operating costs. There is no need for an extensive network and dedicated on-site server, or the IT staff to implement and maintain it. That's why most of our customers have us handle the hosting. However, some people prefer more direct control of their computer system. If you're one of them, and you have the in-house technical expertise, you can host your backoffice system on your own in-house server. Like so many things with SSI, the choice is yours.
Your Business…Wherever You Are
Business doesn't have to stop just because you aren't in the office. With SSI, it's easy for you and your employees to work from home, or anywhere else. That's because our software is created with the Internet — and remote access — in mind.
The Web-oriented architecture and customizable user interface are designed for optimal online performance. During the pandemic, not only were SSI customers able to continue operations with employees working from home, they were able to set up temporary warehouses and fulfillment centers in home garages and other alternate locations, all with full access to their management software and business data.
Regardless of whether you're using our hosted service or connecting to your own server from a remote location, SSI makes it easy to do business as usual, even when your location isn't.
Continuous Enhancement: At SSI, Software Development Never Stops
Any SSI Edge feature list is obsolete almost as soon as it’s printed. That's because we are always adding new features and improving existing ones. We refer to it as "continuous enhancement." Better yet, these new features go out to every customer using that software at no additional cost through regular software releases.
