7 Ways Distributors Grow Faster

Compete on agility, not just price

Distributors operate on razor-thin margins against fiercer competition than ever. Entry-level systems lack the inventory depth they need, while legacy ERP lacks the mobility and openness to connect with customers and suppliers. Modern cloud ERP closes that gap across seven areas.

1 to 3: Sell more, optimise inventory, streamline operations

Embedded CRM, connected commerce and point of sale help generate leads and increase revenue from existing customers. Real-time inventory across multiple warehouses, with lots, serials and bins, reduces both stock-outs and overstocks. Streamlined order-to-cash removes manual handoffs from quote to fulfilment.

4 to 5: Exceed expectations and improve visibility

Customers now expect omnichannel options to buy, return and exchange anywhere. Self-service portals and value-added services differentiate you while lifting the bottom line. Real-time data visibility across the business means fewer surprises and faster responses.

6 to 7: Automate and reduce IT cost

Workflow automation removes repetitive admin, while cloud infrastructure and unlimited-user licensing cut IT and infrastructure cost as you scale, an open architecture keeps your existing tools connected.
