← BackOne platform. Every kind of distributor.
Same app, same scanner, same ERP connection, loaded with your catalog and your name.
Three things your customers can do tonight without calling you
Scan and reorder
Point the phone at the bin label. The part is in the cart at their price. They place the order, and it’s waiting for you in the morning.
Find it the way they talk
Search by your part number, their part number, size, description or a nickname. If they call it “the blue tape,” that finds it.
Check their own account
Open orders, shipment tracking, invoices, order history.
Open for every shift.
A lot of plants hand reordering to their second- and third-shift people. Your store is open at 2 AM, and the order is waiting when you open.
Scan the label. The item lands in the cart.
Scan
Scan the label with a phone camera or a handheld scanner.
Match
It matches the item and the customer’s price.
Order
They place the order and it goes into your normal order flow.
Labels you print from the app, with the customer’s own part number on the label too.
Nearly 3,000 real product photographs, covering more than 27,000 SKUs.
We had a professional photographer come in and spend weeks in our warehouse, photographing and producing real, high-resolution photos of many of our products. This work is ongoing, and many more products will be added. Right now the photographs cover more than 27,000 SKUs. We also have AI image generation capabilities.

Built by someone who ran the business.
I spent 42 years in the fastener business. We built this app to use in our own business. When it came time to plan what was next, my two daughters were working in nonprofits and my son was in tech. None of them were coming into the business. So we sold the company to a New York private equity firm, a $4 billion boutique firm that owns one of the top 25 industrial distributors in the U.S.
I didn’t sell my Intellectual Property (the app, the website and the code). I licensed the IP to the company that bought me and as of this writing, they are still using it. I kept the right to offer the app and website to other distributors. That’s The Fastener App. Apps for Distributors brings the same platform to distributors in every industry.
I have had the same team of developers for almost 20 years. If I can dream it up, they can create it. Now other distributors can put the same tools behind their own name.
“I’d be at my kid’s Little League game on a Saturday and watch orders come in. I’d wake up to orders that came in overnight. That’s when it hit me: I’m making money while I sleep.”

And it keeps working after you lock up.
AI helpers built for distribution work: a quote desk, order entry, reorders and collections. Every one has a dial, and you decide how much it does on its own.
AI helpers are a separate charge, billed by use — for example, about 7¢ to quote a one-line request and under $1 for a 100-line request.
