Built by people who actually run distribution systems.
Cognit is made by Zeabyte, a New Zealand technology company that has spent more than ten years building the software wholesale and distribution businesses run on. Cognit is the all-in-one ERP distilled from that work — built and supported in NZ, in your timezone.
One business should run on one system.
We didn't set out to build an ERP for the sake of it. We built Cognit because we kept seeing the same thing: capable businesses drowning in disconnected tools, re-keying the same order over and over, and never quite trusting their own numbers. One business, one system became the whole point — so an online order updates your stock, your invoice and your books the moment it lands.
From years of real distribution work.
Cognit is the answer to problems we watched businesses live with every day.
One business, one system
Cognit exists because businesses were drowning in disconnected tools — a website here, stock in a spreadsheet, accounts somewhere else. We brought it all into one.
Built from real frustration
We watched good teams re-key the same order three times and lose hours stitching systems together. Cognit is the answer to that daily grind.
Made for distribution
This isn't a generic platform bent into shape. It's shaped by years of running real ordering, stock and accounts for wholesale and distribution businesses.
Not another generic platform.
Four things set Cognit apart from the patchwork most businesses live with.
A store that's built in
Cognit has a real B2B online store at its heart — not a plugin. Your customers order from a branded site that shares the same live stock and pricing.
Real accounting underneath
A genuine general ledger sits under everything, so Cognit can run your books on its own — or sync to Xero if you'd rather keep it.
Fast to launch
No multi-year ERP saga. We set it up, move your data and train your team, so you're running on one system in weeks, not years.
Local support, your timezone
Built and supported in New Zealand. When you call, you reach real people who understand distribution and pick up the phone.
