Company Profile

Founded in 1992, Dimasys is a leading developer of software solutions exclusively focused on the distribution industry.  Dimasys has a proven record of innovation and market leadership in distribution software solutions that spans more than a decade.  The company’s products have automated hundreds of wholesale distributors throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. 

The company's mission is to develop software that delivers on the promise of effective inventory management, increased operational productivity and greater profit margins.  In executing this mission, Dimasys distinguishes itself in several key areas: 

Distribution-centric focus – Dimasys products are designed specifically for the distribution market, providing the functionality industrial distributors need to run their businesses.  As a result, Dimasys offers a more efficient, feature-rich and cost-effective solution than those from ERP vendors who try to “slim down” their packages to fit the distribution market or the “one-size-fits-all” accounting packages that lack the functionality to support distribution business practices.                                            Implementation of “best practices” in software design – Dimasys applications are built on years of distribution software experience, on-going interaction with customer focus groups and powerful distribution management philosophies outlined by many leading authorities on supply chain and technology.  With “best practices” designed into software functionality, Dimasys applications help distributors utilize proven techniques to increase the operational productivity and profitability of their business.                                             Lower cost of ownership – Dimasys applications lower a distributor’s total cost of ownership by ensuring painless migration. Core applications are built on a “managed code architecture” that eliminates the “version lock” experienced by alternative approaches requiring custom source modifications to implement upgrades. Also, with the unique Dimasys "one button" update utility, maintenance and feature upgrades are installed trouble-free with a few simple mouse clicks.

Serving the needs of small to mid-sized distributors

Dimasys customers are progressive small to mid-sized distribution organizations that range from 6-user single locations to multi-site operations with up to 250 users.   The company’s core applications and associated SnapOn products are ideally suited for multiple segments of the industrial distribution market including MRO distributors; HVAC distributors; building materials, construction and maintenance suppliers; plumbing distributors; electrical supply companies, and many more. 

Dimasys markets its software in North America through a select group of Value Added Resellers, Systems Integrators, and IT Consultants focused on solutions serving the industrial distribution market in the United States, Canada and Mexico.  The company’s Enspire Solution Provider (ESP) Partners Program offers outstanding business value to Dimasys channel partners through extensive sales, marketing and technical support services. Authorized ESP Solution Providers must satisfy several initial and ongoing partner requirements designed to ensure the highest level of customer service and support for our mutual clients.

Touchstone/2000™ - an established industry standard

The introduction of Touchstone/2000 in 1992 immediately raised the bar for asset management systems of the day.  Designed for PC-networks running either Novell Netware or Microsoft NT operating system platforms, Touchstone/2000 is generally regarded as the premier distribution software solution in its product class. It also works efficiently with all of today’s popular desktop Windows operating systems to allow business data to be easily integrated with a wide variety of network and workstation productivity tools. Throughout the development of Touchstone/2000, Dimasys has continually pioneered revolutionary product delivery mechanisms and set new standards for rapid product development while delivering enhanced functionality and new features to its customers.  A new release of Touchstone/2000 is scheduled for October 2003. (More about Touchstone/2000)
