Whether you are a wholesale distributor, high volume ‘make to stock’ or a low volume ‘make to order’ manufacturer, it is imperative for management to have a complete understanding of every aspect of the business at any given time.

This is critical to not only ensure profitability, but to meet the continual demands of customers and manage all aspects of daily operations.

Distribution
Through our experience in the distribution industry we have come to learn that while each business is unique, there are many common challenges, including:

• Reducing margins
• Short lead times on customer orders
• Long lead times on delivery of incoming goods
• Large numbers of product categories
• Multiple suppliers for the same items
• Last and average cost fluctuations
• Identification of slow moving products
• Duplicity of inventory holdings across branches
• Delays in processing and statistics.
