Distro vs. Connexium
Why Distro Outperforms Conexiom: The Only AI Revenue Platform Made for Distributors
Executive Summary:
Conexiom is a narrow order-entry automation tool. It helps digitize incoming purchase orders but stops there. Distro does everything Conexiom claims to do — and much more. With quoting automation, advanced takeoffs, agentic AI, and a partnership model that drives adoption, Distro is the only AI Revenue Platform purpose-built for distributors and manufacturers’ reps.
What Does Conexiom Actually Offer?
Conexiom markets itself around:
Automating purchase order entry from emails and PDFs.
Reducing manual rekeying errors.
Limited quote/order generation based on repetitive customer patterns.
That’s it. Conexiom is not built for distributors — it’s a generic automation tool that stops at order entry and leaves the most complex, value-driving workflows untouched.
Why Distro Is the Superior Choice
Distro doesn’t stop at order entry. It transforms the entire revenue process.
✅ Order automation: Distro includes what Conexiom does, but with deeper ERP enrichment.
🚀 Quoting & RFQ automation: Distro handles complex RFQs — something Conexiom cannot do.
🚀 Takeoffs automation: Distro processes multi-page commercial takeoffs in minutes — Conexiom has no capability here.
🚀 Agentic AI: Distro acts proactively — checking suppliers, filling gaps, updating ERPs. Conexiom can’t.
🚀 Sales enablement: Distro equips every rep with instant product knowledge, shortening ramp times and freeing veterans to focus on customers.
🚀 Partnership: Distro isn’t just a vendor. We partner with leadership to ensure adoption, maximize ROI, and grow with distributors as AI evolves.

Closing Thought
Conexiom is a single-function automation tool. It helps with order entry, but that’s not where distributors win or lose.
Distro is the only platform that addresses the full sales cycle — quoting, takeoffs, revenue optimization, and long-term partnership.
For distributors, the choice is simple: don’t settle for an order-entry tool. Choose the complete AI Revenue Platform. Choose Distro.
