Provi’s view starts and ends at the wholesale order. DISTRYB sees production through to the consumer, publishes a catalog AI assistants can buy from, and turns both into what to move next. An honest, sourced comparison.
DISTRYB, next to what you might already use
Three comparisons, each one sourced from the other company's public pages and dated. Every page says what they do well and who should pick them — that is what makes the rest of it worth reading. If a row is wrong, tell us and we will fix it.
If you want somebody else to be your distributor, LibDib is a real answer and DISTRYB is not — we do not take title to your product or carry it. If you already have distribution, or you are the distributor, DISTRYB is the system you run it on. The clearest tell is the pricing model: LibDib charges a monthly fee plus a markup on every case, because a markup is what a distributor earns. That is the price of a distribution service, not of software, and the two are not really substitutes.
BEES is the best-funded B2B ordering platform in the industry and it is not trying to be neutral. It is how AB InBev sells to its retailers: $52.5bn of merchandise a year, 29 markets, ordering plus credit plus rewards plus delivery in one app. If most of what you buy is AB InBev product, that is a very good deal and you should use it. The distinction is structural rather than about features: BEES is a channel owned by a manufacturer, DISTRYB is a market with no brands of its own. Those answer different questions, and the second one only matters when you want the whole shelf rather than one supplier’s part of it.
A dash in a competitor's column means “not part of their published product” — not that they cannot do it. We can only read what they publish, and we say on every page when we last did.
