Why Distro Crushes Dylog AI: The Full Revenue Platform — Not Just a Chatbot

Executive Summary
Dylog AI is a chatbot—nothing more than conversational eye candy. It lets customers ask questions over chat or voice, but it ignores the workflows that actually drive revenue. Quoting, takeoffs, proactive agentic actions—those are the core of distributor success, and Dylog doesn’t handle any of it. Distro, on the other hand, automates everything from RFQs to margin optimization, and partners with leadership for sustained ROI. Dylog is a gimmick. Distro is a transformation engine.

What Dylog Actually Does — And Doesn’t

Essentially, Dylog is a flashy front-end for conversations—nothing more. It doesn’t generate quotes, break down complex RFQs, protect margins, or automate quoting tasks.

How Dylog Falls Short—Where Distro Excels

1. No Real Revenue Functionality

Dylog doesn’t generate structured quotes or handle complex RFQs. It puts a chatbot on your site—yet the engine that powers quoting and margin capture remains untouched.

2. Zero Takeoff Automation

Multi-line commercial projects with detailed BOMs? Dylog is totally unequipped. Distro handles these with ease, turning complexity into speed.

3. No Agentic AI

Dylog responds. Distro acts—automatically filling gaps, checking supplier data, updating ERPs, and suggesting upsell bundles without manual effort.

4. Sales Enablement? Nonexistent.

Dylog doesn't empower front-line reps. Distro equips them with real-time pricing, specs, and margin tools—instantly.

5. No Long-Term Partnership

Dylog is built once and left to sit. Distro evolves—aligning with leaders, driving adoption, and ensuring compounding ROI as AI matures.

FAQs

Q: Is Dylog a true competitor to Distro?

A: No. Dylog solves conversation—but ignores the core workflows that define success for distributors.

Q: Why does agentic AI matter?

A: Because it takes action—not just suggestions—automating critical tasks like price checks and ERP updates. That’s a big difference in speed and consistency.

Q: Does Dylog support quoting or takeoffs?

A: Absolutely not. It’s a chat layer, not a quoting engine.

Closing Thought

Dylog is a lightweight chatbot—slick, but superficial. It doesn’t solve the quoting challenges, doesn’t automate takeoffs, and doesn’t deliver margin intelligence. It might look smart, but it won’t drive results.

Distro is the only AI Revenue Platform truly built for distributors: automating the hard parts, empowering your reps, and partnering for long-term success.

Don’t settle for chat. Go for conversions. Choose Distro.
