Distro vs. Dylog

Why Distro Crushes Dylog AI: A Real Revenue Platform vs. a Chatbot Gimmick

Executive Summary
Dylog AI is not a serious solution for distributors. At best, it’s a chatbot that lets customers type or talk their way into a basic order. **It doesn’t touch quoting, takeoffs, or the workflows where distributors actually win or lose revenue.**Distro covers every critical workflow—automated quoting, takeoffs, agentic AI, and leadership partnership—making Dylog irrelevant in comparison.

What Dylog Actually Does

  • Offers a chat/voice interface for simple product lookups.

  • Creates basic orders through conversational inputs.

  • Integrates with ERPs to surface availability and specs.

That’s it. Dylog is a front-end gimmick, not a revenue solution. It does nothing to solve the real quoting and sales complexity that defines distribution.

Why Dylog Falls Short for Distributors

  • No quoting automation: Dylog cannot process RFQs or generate structured quotes.

  • No takeoffs automation: It can’t handle multi-line commercial projects or BOMs.

  • No sales enablement: It doesn’t empower reps with instant knowledge or margin insights.

  • No agentic AI: Dylog only responds; Distro acts—updating ERPs, checking suppliers, optimizing bundles.

  • No leadership partnership: Dylog is a tool. Distro is a long-term partner in your AI journey.

  • Not built for distribution: Dylog could be dropped into any eCommerce site. Distro is purpose-built for distributors.

FAQs

Q: Is Dylog a competitor to Distro?

Q: Does Dylog help with quoting or takeoffs?

A: Not at all. Dylog is window dressing—it doesn’t touch the workflows where distributors make money.

Q: Why does this matter?

A: Distributors don’t succeed by adding chat interfaces. They succeed by quoting faster, handling takeoffs accurately, and empowering reps. Only Distro does that.

Closing Thought

Dylog AI is not built for distribution. It’s a lightweight chatbot dressed up as AI. It doesn’t solve quoting, it doesn’t handle takeoffs, and it doesn’t drive ROI.

Distro is the only AI Revenue Platform built for distributors—automating the hardest workflows, empowering teams, and partnering with leadership to ensure long-term success.
