About DPD
The integration between your storefront and your ERP — order, pricing, catalog, and inventory sync — plus the custom Shopify apps that fill the gaps off-the-shelf can't. We go deepest where the data is hard.
The problem we work on
Most B2B distributors run a capable ERP and a separate storefront that don't talk. Catalogs drift, pricing lives in two places, orders get re-keyed by hand. We make the two systems agree — so the storefront, the ERP, and the business they run read as one.
What we do
Not just connecting systems — building the capability that runs the business behind them. We evaluate the whole operation, then put each solution where it belongs.
Custom apps — built when nothing off-the-shelf fits the B2B reality.
Off-the-shelf integration — third-party apps made to actually work inside a customized theme.
Fixing off-the-shelf misbehavior — diagnosing where a vendor app or its config quietly breaks.
e.g. Professional List Manager · Boost AI search · Avalara tax fix
Bespoke customization packages — Acumatica tuned so its data model agrees with Shopify's.
Expert connector configuration — entities, pricing, payment terms, and catalogs, set up right.
Maintenance as the ERP evolves — the integration kept current as the systems around it change.
e.g. Customized Acumatica–Shopify Connector
Merchandising & discoverability — product data structured so the storefront sells: series and attributes driving filters, collections, and search.
Reporting & margin visibility — the numbers the business runs on — sales, margin, volume — surfaced in the ERP.
Operational tooling — back-office capability that removes manual work: managing storefront collections and menus from the ERP.
we evaluate the whole business, not just the stack
How we work
The room is an owner and an IT lead. Neither wants to be marketed at. Five things hold across every engagement.
The people who scope it build it.
The engineers who scope your project are the ones who build it. No pitch team, no handoff to juniors after the contract is signed.
We show the seams.
We name what's hard and where the trade-offs are. Sometimes the right call is not to build something — and we'll tell you, with the reason.
Precision before polish.
A one-percent data error compounds across a large catalog. We do the unglamorous work first — re-modeling the data, setting visibility rules — before a storefront ever goes live.
Honest roadmaps and timelines.
Clear plans, real dates. If something will take longer than you hoped, or shouldn't be built at all, you hear it from us early — not at the deadline.
Built for the next order of magnitude.
We build for the volume you'll run in three years, not just today's catalog — so the system you buy now still holds when the business grows into it.
Proof
Our work runs in production at Empire Pro — a 90,000-product wholesale catalog kept in agreement with an Acumatica ERP, with dealer-specific pricing on a Shopify storefront. The full numbers and the build behind them live on the case study.
Our apps
When a client hits a gap no off-the-shelf tool fills, we build it — and ship it where the gap lives, on Shopify or in Acumatica.
Professional List Manager
B2B saved lists and reorder, built when off-the-shelf wishlist apps couldn't handle B2B quantities and company-shared lists. Empire Pro was the design partner and first install.
Professional Form Manager
Storefront forms that turn each submission into a branded, print-ready PDF and email it to your team — built because existing form apps stop at collecting the data and notifying you.
Who we are
The people behind DPD have shipped commerce systems for the better part of two decades — long enough to recognize the integration risks before they surface, and to know which ones aren't worth the fight. That experience is the difference between a build that holds and one that unravels in month three.
