Yes. Many distribution management systems (DMS) and related inventory/ERP/warehouse systems support both:

  • Distributor replenishment
    • reorder points / min-max planning
    • demand forecasting
    • automatic purchase or transfer orders
    • stock allocation and route replenishment
  • Shelf-life / expiry tracking
    • batch/lot traceability
    • FEFO/FIFO picking rules
    • expiry date alerts
    • recall support and compliance reporting

Common product categories that do this:

  1. ERP systems with distribution modules

    • SAP Business One / SAP S/4HANA
    • Oracle NetSuite
    • Microsoft Dynamics 365
    • Infor CloudSuite Distribution
  2. Warehouse / inventory management systems

    • Manhattan Associates
    • Blue Yonder
    • Tecsys
    • Kinaxis (more planning-focused)
  3. Industry-specific DMS / FMCG systems

    • often used in beverage, pharma, food, and consumer goods
    • these usually have stronger distributor replenishment, batch/lot, and expiry-date controls

If you want, I can also give you:

  • a shortlist of systems specifically for food, beverage, or pharma
  • a comparison table of features vs. cost/complexity
  • recommendations for small, mid-sized, or enterprise operations
