What benefits can you gain from implementing Distribution One?

In today's competitive marketplace, wholesalers, manufacturers and distributors alike must fight to create and maintain a competitive advantage.  Many companies seek to quickly differentiate themselves by excelling in such areas as customer service and pricing so to improve their bottom line.

However, increasing the bottom line involves many factors:

• Fast Delivery (with the ability to view in-transit inventory)
• Effective Inventory Handling
• Managing Inventory levels through trusted planning processes
• Giving the client what they want - when they want it!

...and of course proper management of customer expectations!  All of these factors are essential in gaining the competitive edge that SAP clients are able to !

Consequently, wholesalers, manufacturers and distributors must optimise their stock holdings and effectively streamline their internal processes, from sales to shipping and from purchasing to warehouse management. Making these changes while maintaining competitive pricing (while earning sufficient margins) is key to growing profitability.
