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.
