CP Tech

What CP Tech does

CP Tech Inc. is a privately held US software company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Savage, Minnesota, that develops and supports two core products: DistributionPlus, an all-in-one distribution management and ERP platform, and Sustaen, a specialized production and ERP system for meat processors. DistributionPlus integrates inventory management, multi-warehouse WMS, lot and serial traceability, electronic data interchange (EDI) without a third-party Value Added Network, document management, sales/quoting, purchasing, financial management (general ledger, AR, AP, ACH, PCI-compliant credit card processing), customer and sales portals, routing, reporting and analytics, and bidirectional sync with WooCommerce and BigCommerce storefronts. Sustaen adds production tracking, label generation, catch weight handling, expiration-date inventory management, and barcode-validated shipping for meat processors, and integrates with DistributionPlus for accounting. Both products are offered via cloud-hosted or on-premise deployment.

The company targets small and medium-sized wholesale distributors and meat processors who are typically stitching together multiple disconnected point solutions (accounting, inventory, EDI VAN, eCommerce, shipping). CP Tech sells directly through a consultative field and inside sales motion, beginning with 'Request a Demo' CTAs on its website, followed by on-site workflow analysis and tailored implementation that includes data transfer, project management, and flexible onsite or remote training. The revenue model is recurring subscription licensing (cloud or on-premise) supplemented by implementation and training professional services, with quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed rate cards.

CP Tech is bootstrapped: it is privately held with no external investors, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, no public listing, and no disclosed management team beyond CEO Ron Becker. The company is operating from a single US headquarters, serves a diversified SMB customer base across more than 20 industry verticals (e.g., Fasteners, PHCP/PVF/HVAC, Apparel, Liquor/Beverage, Medical Equipment, Meat and Food, Sustainable Waste Management), and has no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, patents, awards, or third-party reseller partnerships.
