Why BDC? White-glove support with a focus on relationships
We have more than 60 combined years of experience in the distribution industry, and we believe in implementing the right solutions for your business, not the solution with the best sales team.
Relationships matter, and we pride ourselves on the relationships we have with both our ERP partners like Encompass and our clients.
Our commitment to transparency also means you’re always getting exactly what you need.
Empowering beverage distribution companies with people, processes & technology
We have received invaluable support and expertise from BDC as we have moved the entire organization to a new route accounting solution. Their data conversion and go-live support allowed us to feel more comfortable with the transition, but their continued process support and custom dashboard development have helped us unlock the vision we had when we made this investment.

Danny Kindle and the BDC team are an important and trusted part of the Odom IT team. They have helped us with staff augmentation work for a number of years now as well as project work ranging from eoStar WMS to most recently doing eoStar to Encompass data migration, building Encompass dashboards, and Encompass KPI reports. We appreciate the long-term partnership we’ve had with BDC and recommend their team without reservation.
