What Business Functions Does MACE Systems ERP Cover?

MACE Systems is an ERP platform built for wholesalers, merchants, and distribution businesses, and it covers the core operational areas those companies run on: accounting, sales and purchase order processing, stock and warehouse control, e-commerce, reporting, and mobile access. If your business needs to manage stock, sales, finances, and customer relationships in one place, the module list below is the practical way to check whether it fits your operation.

Accounting

MACE includes fully integrated double-entry accounting with automated financial management. For a wholesale or distribution business, that means the ledger is tied directly to the transactions generated elsewhere in the system rather than maintained separately.

Sales Order Processing

The sales side handles quotes, invoices, and discounts through a single workflow. This is the module that covers the order-to-invoice path for merchant and wholesale sales.

Purchase Order Processing

MACE describes its Purchase Order Processing module as the hub of the purchasing department. From it you can create and manage:

• Purchase orders
• Invoices
• Debit notes
• Returns notes
• Goods Received Notes (GRNs)

It also supports automated allocation, which matters when incoming stock needs to be assigned against existing orders or commitments.

Stock Control and Warehousing

Stock Control covers inventory tracking, stocktakes, and warehouse process management. Because stock feeds both purchasing and e-commerce, this module is the link between what you buy, what you hold, and what you sell.

E-commerce Integration

MACE's integrated e-commerce platform lets businesses sell online with:

• Real-time stock updates
• Personalised pricing
• Secure payment processing through Stripe and Trust Payments

If you sell both through a trade counter and online, the real-time stock sync is the feature that prevents the two channels from disagreeing about availability.

Reporting

Advanced Reporting provides custom reports and interactive dashboards for business insights, drawing on the data generated by the modules above.

Data Protection: Snapshots

The Snapshots module performs hourly system backups, captures the system's exact state, and allows restoration of previous sessions when needed. For businesses where a bad data event could disrupt trading, this is a recovery mechanism rather than a reporting feature.

Mobile Applications

MACE's mobile applications give access to essential business functions, including:

• Stock management
• Sales tracking
• Trade counter signature capture for Proof of Delivery (POD)

The POD signature capture is specifically relevant to distribution businesses that need proof of delivery recorded at the point of handover.

How to Decide If the Coverage Matches Your Needs

MACE states it supports companies of all sizes across wholesale, merchant, and distribution businesses. The most reliable next step is to map your own daily workflows against the module list above, then request a demo or contact MACE directly to confirm how a specific process — such as your purchasing approval chain or your online pricing rules — would be handled.
