Pepper vs. Cut+Dry
We know that choosing an eCommerce or order automation provider is an important step for independent distributors.
Pepper increases order sizes and saves more time for busy sales reps than any other provider in the space.
Here are just a few of the reasons that we believe Pepper is a great alternative to Cut & Dry for independent distributor eCommerce software.
Ease of Use
A well-designed app gets higher operator adoption
Pepper
Pepper offers an intuitive, modern UI designed for seamless ordering, ensuring a user-friendly experience - Over 70% of orders are completed in under 5 minutes.
Cut+Dry
Cut & Dry provides a comprehensive platform with a robust feature set that requires a learning curve for new users.
Mobile Support
Operators on-the-go prefer ordering from a mobile device
Pepper
Pepper is a mobile-first platform, with over 80% of orders placed over mobile.
Cut+Dry
Cut & Dry’s web-based platform can operate on mobile devices, but lacks mobile-native functionality such as push notifications.
Marketplace Approach
Can your products be seen alongside other vendors?
Pepper
Pepper is distributor-first, never supporting or building a marketplace app.
Cut+Dry
Cut & Dry offers a marketplace, accessible from their website home page.
Order Automation
Many operators still text and call orders
Pepper
Pepper’s Intelligent Inbox converts text, pictures, and calls into orders, supporting multiple different languages with 80-90% first-pass accuracy.
Cut+Dry
Cut & Dry’s "AI Order Desk" matches calls and texts to orders and is limited to English orders.
Integration
Successful eComm has to work with many systems
Pepper
Pepper has integrated with over 50 ERP systems, with over a dozen successful installations of NECS, Produce Pro, Quickbooks, AS400, and many other operations.
Cut+Dry
Cut & Dry’s limited integration experience means that many customers aren’t live for months to years after signing.
Sales Rep Tools
Your go-to-market platform should empower your sales team
Pepper
DSR Connect allows reps to edit prices, prospect in any market, and keep up with alerts and opportunities for all of their clients.
Cut+Dry
Cut & Dry’s rep tooling is prone to error, leaving users with costly pricing errors and prospecting features that may not work in every market.
Product Content
Buyers want products with pictures and descriptions
Pepper
SALT is a dedicated product library with over 18 million attributes, supported by a team that works on product content, brand outreach & AI catalog mapping for dynamic content.
Cut+Dry
Cut & Dry’s product library has roughly 5-6 million attributes.
Team
Products are only as good as the teams that support them
Pepper
All Pepper engineers, implementation teams, and leadership are based in North America, with the majority based in the United States.
Cut+Dry
Third-party and offshore development teams make for development that lacks usability and a distributor-driven approach.
Customer Support
When trouble arises, you'll want someone to trust
Pepper
Pepper offers a personalized support team for each customer, exclusively focused on meeting your unique business needs and challenges.
Cut+Dry
Cut & Dry provides customer support services, though availability and responsiveness may vary depending on the selected plan.

Testimonials
“To this day - I have had not one complaint about our app. I hear our customers say that it's better than Sysco and some of the other big broad-liners. It's a testament to you guys on how well your product is - I love Pepper.” — Scott Davis, COO Mr. Greens
“Pepper’s promo tool drives more sales, creates an opportunity for more marketing money from vendors, and surfaces new items to our customers. The success of the campaign was an eye-opener to the effectiveness of digital promotions over our traditional methods.” — Mary Laddusaw, Director of Sales for Henry’s Foods
“It is truly refreshing to find a product that is actually designed for our line of business, that does everything we could have wished for, is user-friendly, and isn’t just patchwork over an existing ERP that was designed for a different business need and somehow made to work.” — Aaron Bloom, Bermuda General Agency
