Profitability

You are leaving money on the table because you don’t have the complex pricing features that you would get with specialized software for wholesale distributors. This would allow you to optimize pricing and get the highest prices.

Powerful pricing tools

Software for wholesale distributors allows multiple contracts, and specified contract hierarchies, matrix pricing, quantity breaks, special pricing and still minimize your pricing maintenance. You need this.

Business Intelligence

You need specialized software that allows for groups, categories, sub-categories, multiple warehouses, complex pricing. You cannot properly analyze results, visualize your data or make data-driven decisions.

Matrix Pricing

You are losing money because your pricing is not optimized for different customer tiers or product families and you cannot maintain all your multiple pricing features easily.

Inventory Tracking is Poor

Inventory management is the core requirement for software for wholesale distributors. You must be able to closely manage inventory and replenishment. If you are experiencing frequent stock-outs you are driving up shipping costs and degrading customer service.

Costly overhead of outdated systems

On a total cost of ownership basis, legacy on-premises systems are difficult and expensive to maintain compared to current Cloud-based software for wholesale distributors

Unnecessary writeoffs

If your software is not designed for your specialized wholesale distributor workflows, it may be causing you many extra steps, lost sales and unnecessary write-offs.

Cash Flow Issues

Moving to Cloud-based software for wholesale distributors delivered through a SaaS subscription avoids big upfront expenditure for software and servers and helps your cash flow.

High HR Costs

Mobility and Access

Your on-premises system does not accommodate users in the field or employees working remotely. You cannot accommodate tablets or smart phones. This, is slowing your process and reducing efficiency.

Month-End Closeouts Take Too Long

You struggle with inconsistent record keeping. You require one centralized data source, so month-end close-outs can take hours instead of days.

Employees Can’t Pull Reports

You’d benefit from libraries of pre-programmed reports as well as easy-to-use report builders that will allow team members to quickly and easily get the information they need.

Manual Methods

Your software does not support electronic payments, so everything has to be done by paper checks. An automated AP system can eliminate the need for paper in your accounting systems.

Customer Service

EDI

You need EDI automation to reduce human error and allow you to serve multiple trading partners that require electronic transaction processing.

Landed Cost

You purchase goods overseas and need to keep track of multiple landed costs, insurance, sea freight, clearing and forwarding, import duties and tariffs, port demurrage, drayage costs, etc.

Lot Tracking

You need to comprehensively track lots, expiry dates and serial numbers.
