SocrateCloud ERP - the complete solution for distribution companies

Author: Alina Răfoi

A distributor’s activity seems as simple as buying and selling products. Yet, this simplicity is more complicated than it might seem. Distribution is a continuous fire activity, with constant need of stock and client orders information.

Daily analysis is needed on staff performance, receiving orders and collecting payments. Stocks need to be analysed daily, as well as supplier orders. Similarly, distributors have to analyze sales by divisions or brands, in order to find the best products combination to generate a maximum of profit. An income and expenses review must be an on-going activity. There are several costs to be monitored: handling charges, storage, car park costs, as well as salaries, contributions and other taxes. All these are the “ingredients” of an average day in a distribution company. Other specific issues to be addressed are increasing billing efficiency through information quality and human error elimination.

Some key-elements such as inventory tracking and its migration rate, supply and on-time deliveries are critical in distribution and, if not managed properly, they might cause trouble. This usually happens when a poorly trained sales force carelessly manages a client-product mix review.
