You Could Use a Hand with The Heavy Lifting
In this fast-paced, ever-changing landscape, the Distribution industry is continually evolving. Advances such as the internet, ecommerce, EDI and RFID, as well as demand-driven supply chains and green initiatives have changed the game. New distribution channels grow, while costs rise and margins get the squeeze. Distributors are forced to look for new ways to add services, such as promotion, financing and product support. How can you grow your business and compete in this environment?
Three things you have to do – and do well:
- Know what you need and when you need it.
Everyone in your operation and your supply chain ecosystem needs access to reliable, real-time information to be responsive in this fast-paced business. With the insight gained from having this knowledge at their fingertips, sound business decisions can be made that keep your business agile and scalable to meet changing demands.
- Have a clear and accurate picture of your costs.
You don’t make money when products sit on shelves. Clear and accurate inventory data increases the effectiveness of sales and empowers informed purchasing decisions. Armed with this degree of visibility into actual numbers allows you to take control over core business processes and increase inventory turnover while decreasing cash conversion cycles.
- Provide stellar customer service.
Customer service is all about speed and accuracy for distributors. Everything you can do to get that product off your shelves and into your customer’s hands faster is improving your customer service. Manual processes and re-entering data into multiple systems not only slows progress, but allows room for human error. Knowing your customer, paying attention to the details of customer history and preferences, provides a level of customer care that creates long-term business relationships.
At the end of the day, your business is run by people. And their performance can be no better than the information they have access to from the tools they use. Microsoft Dynamics NAV for Distribution companies allows you to put the power of Microsoft technologies in the hands of your greatest resource for a smarter, agile and more profitable company.
