Like many owners and managers in distributing, he was in need of a specialized software program to run his business. He was only partially satisfied with a system he purchased and set out to write his own package. Ken put his training as an electrical engineer and his experiences as a distribution business owner to work and created a completely new software system designed to work the way wholesalers do. The first Amplexus Advantage distribution system was sold in 1984.

Today Amplexus Advantage is one of the most comprehensive packages available for wholesalers. Distributors from many industries (food/restaurant equipment, specialty tools, industrial products, plumbing supplies, janitorial/paper/chemical supplies, electrical components, electronics, and more) across the country use Advantage to control inventory, purchasing, customer service, ordering, accounting, and shipping with one powerful system.

Advantage supports flexible multi-level pricing, sell/price in multiple units of measure, catch weights, bar coding, credit card processing, rentals and recurring billing, special orders, drop-ships, and more -- all designed to simplify complex tasks common to distributors.

Amplexus' latest products are two web-based software systems. E3/Commerce is an Internet Order Entry system that allows end-user customers and on-the-road sales staff to place orders, view unique pricing, and assess real-time inventory status instantly through the Internet. Salespak is a Web-based sales force automation product designed to allow on-the-road and away-from-the-Internet sales staff place orders, view unique pricing and access close to real-time inventory on a laptop computer. Sales Orders are sent to the main business system and data is updated to the laptop (usually via the Internet) on a batch basis when convenient.
