coreFORCE - Distributors: Bill Hicks, Inc.


A distributor is an entity that supplies products to be sold through an e-commerce platform. CoreFORCE integrates with various distributors to automate the import of product data, manage inventory, and streamline the ordering process. This ensures that retailers using coreFORCE can efficiently source and offer products from multiple distributors, keeping their online store updated with the latest inventory and pricing information.


coreFORCE packages-

Starter - No Distributors

Basic - 4 Distributors Distributors

Standard/Advanced/Enterprise - Unlimited Distributors


During the onboarding process for Basic and Standard customers, we will request your preferred distributors. Once the website is set up, these distributors will be available for selection, and you can add the necessary credentials to the created distributor profiles.


Your credentials will be provided by the respective distributor. If you have not yet received them, please contact the distributor directly to obtain them.
