Cosmetics Distribution
Built to Sell More
Built for cosmetics — smart filtering for huge catalogues, batch & expiry control, and mobile tools that keep every counter, salon, and spa stocked.
Why Cosmetics Distributors
Lose Margin
Without beauty-built tools, the daily realities of shades, batches, and testers quietly eat into every unit sold.
Expiry, Lot & Batch Risk
Skincare and colour have a shelf life. Without batch-level tracking, you ship expired SKUs, eat returns, and put salons and retailers at risk.
Endless SKUs, Shades & Sizes
Every shade, finish, and size is a SKU. Manual order pads can't keep up — wrong shades ship, planograms break, and reps lose face at the counter.
Promo & Pricing Chaos
Tiered pricing, salon vs. retail, seasonal launches — without automation, discounts get applied wrong and revenue leaks.
How Solid Route Accounting™
Solves It
From the warehouse to the counter — every feature is designed for the realities of beauty distribution.
Organized Beauty Routes
Organized stops by salon, spa, boutique, and chain accounts. Make sure every door gets restocked before they call a competitor.
Shade, Batch & Tester Inventory
Track every SKU by shade, size, and batch — including testers and samples — across trucks, warehouses, and consigned counters.
Brand & Door Profitability
See which lines, shades, and accounts drive the most volume and revenue after applying automated discounts and promos.
Mobile Tools for Reps & BAs
Solid Sales Pro™ powers in-store order entry, planogram checks, and instant invoicing right from the counter.
ERP & Accounting Integration
Two-way sync with QuickBooks, Sage 100, and SYSPRO. Pricing, AR, and inventory remain accurate across all systems.
Faster Settlement, Fewer Errors
Computer-generated invoices and digital signatures cut end-of-day reconciliation from hours to minutes — across every door you serve.
Know What Every Brand & Door Really Earns
Volume isn't profit. Solid Route Accounting™ shows true margin by SKU, brand, and door — after tracking brand performance and account-level sales history to maximize door profitability.
- Brand and line profitability reports built for skincare, color, fragrance, and haircare portfolios
- Door-level scorecards reveal which salons, spas, and boutiques drive real margin vs. just turnover
- ERP sync keeps mobile pricing, AR, and tax data accurate across every system
Track Every Shade, Size, and Batch
From the warehouse to the salon shelf, you'll know exactly where every unit is — and how much shelf life it has left. Stop bleeding margin on expired stock and missing testers.
- Batch and lot tracking with expiry, and inventory management across every SKU
- Advanced item filtering keep huge color catalogs orderable and pickable in the field
- Real-time per-warehouse and per-truck stock with auto reorder alerts via your ERP
Win the Counter. Keep the Door.
Beauty is a relationship business. Arm reps and BAs with the data to walk into every door knowing sell-through, last order, missed shades, and the next launch opportunity.
- Pre-sell and van sales workflows for salons, spas, boutiques, chains, and pro accounts
- Sales history and stop analysis surface upsell, new-launch, and at-risk doors
- Planogram audits and digital POs through Solid Order Entry™ keep counters merchandised
