Migrate your Blue Link ERP data
All-in-one inventory and accounting ERP built for small-to-mid-size wholesalers and distributors in North America, with strong lot tracking and pharma-adjacent compliance features.
In its favor
Why people choose Blue Link ERP
The signal that keeps Blue Link ERP on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
All-in-one system combines accounting, inventory, order entry, and CRM without requiring multiple standalone products or double data entry.
Strong out-of-the-box Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable capabilities with real-time aging and credit status visibility reduce implementation customization needs.
Built-in lot tracking, serial number traceability, and reorder point automation directly support regulated industries like pharmaceutical distribution.
Multi-currency and multi-language support enables North American wholesalers with international suppliers or customers to operate from a single system.
Native integrations with Amazon, eBay, and Shopify reduce manual data entry for businesses selling across retail and eCommerce channels.
The user interface is consistently described as dated and archaic compared to modern cloud ERP alternatives, creating friction for daily users.
No native QuickBooks integration, forcing customers who require QuickBooks to find alternative workflows or accept a full ERP migration rather than a simple export.
Database management at high SKU counts is described as cumbersome, particularly for distributors with large or complex product catalogs.
Catch weight functionality is not supported, which disqualifies the platform for food or CPG distributors who need variable-weight item handling.

What gets migrated
Blue Link ERP object support
Object-by-object support for Blue Link ERP migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Customers
Fully supportedBlue Link stores customer records with full contact details, multi-currency settings, and credit status. We map Customer records directly to the target system, preserving credit limits and currency assignments. Multi-entity setups require entity-to-customer linkage checks during import.
Vendors
Fully supportedVendor records include address, payment terms, and multi-currency flags. We map Vendor records 1:1 and flag any vendor-to-PO linkage that needs re-establishing in the destination system.
Inventory Items
Mapping requiredBlue Link supports kit configurations, multiple UOMs per item, and reorder points. High SKU-count customers frequently maintain duplicate inventory items to account for different UOMs. We consolidate UOM variants during scoping and flag reorder point settings for reconfiguration in the target system.
Sales Orders
Mapping requiredOpen sales orders at migration time require careful sequencing to avoid fulfillment gaps. We extract open order headers and line items, map them to destination order objects, and flag any partial-shipment history tied to in-flight orders.
Purchase Orders
Mapping requiredOpen POs need to be mapped to vendor records already migrated. We extract PO headers and line items, validate vendor linkage, and flag any PO-to-receipt linkage that will not carry forward automatically.
Lot Numbers
Fully supportedBlue Link tracks lot numbers for inventory traceability, especially relevant for pharmaceutical and food distributors. We preserve lot assignment at the inventory and shipment line level during migration.
Accounts Payable
Fully supportedThe AP module covers vendor invoices, payment terms, and cash requirements visibility. We map AP records and flag any unpaid or partially paid invoices that need status reconciliation in the destination system.
Accounts Receivable
Fully supportedBlue Link's AR module includes invoice creation, collections tracking, credit checks, and cash application. We map open AR records and flag collections history that may not transfer as activity log entries in all destination systems.
Chart of Accounts
Mapping requiredThe COA structure may include custom segments or departmental cost centers. We map the full account hierarchy and flag any account numbers that conflict with destination account structures, especially for intercompany or multi-entity setups.
Warehouse Locations
Mapping requiredBlue Link supports multi-warehouse configurations and bin-level tracking. We map warehouse locations and flag bin-level assignments for manual reconfiguration if the destination WMS does not support the same granularity.
Documents
Not in this platformBlue Link includes document attachment capability at the record level, but attachments are stored in a proprietary format not directly accessible via documented export endpoints. We do not migrate document binaries; we flag all attached documents and advise the customer to export them manually or via Blue Link's support team.
eCommerce Orders
Mapping requiredBlue Link integrates with Amazon, eBay, and Shopify, pulling orders into the system. Historical eCommerce orders in Blue Link may carry channel metadata. We map order headers and flag any channel-specific fields that do not map to the destination order object.
