Software For Wholesale Distribution.
Distribution margin is decided by things most software will not tell you accurately: what the goods actually cost landed, what is really available to promise, and which customers are quietly unprofitable.
Where the money goes.
-
True cost is unknown until later
Freight, duty and currency arrive after the sale, so pricing is done on an estimate.
-
Availability is a guess
Stock on hand, on order and allocated live in different places and disagree.
-
Price lists multiply
Per-customer pricing maintained by hand across spreadsheets that drift apart.
-
Reordering is reactive
A shortage is noticed when an order cannot be filled.
The system that removes it.
- 01
Landed cost tracked to the line
Freight, duty and currency allocated across the shipment so margin is real.
- 02
One number for availability
On hand, on order and allocated reconciled into what can actually be promised today.
- 03
Customer pricing with rules
Tiers, contracts and exceptions applied consistently instead of remembered.
- 04
Reorder points that move
Suggested purchasing based on velocity and lead time rather than a fixed threshold.
What that usually involves.
Questions people ask.
What comes up first when a wholesale distribution is deciding.
Do we have to replace our accounting system?
No. In most builds the accounting package stays and the operational system feeds it. Replacing the ledger is a much larger project and usually not the one that is costing you money.
