Distribution & wholesale
Know what you have, where it is and who owes you for it.
Distribution margins depend on accurate stock, disciplined credit and efficient delivery. When orders arrive by phone, stock is counted by hand and customer balances live in a ledger book, growth adds risk faster than revenue.
Challenges
Common operational pressures
Situations we often hear about from organisations in this sector.
Stock accuracy across locations
Warehouses, branches and vans each hold stock that is hard to see in one place.
Credit control
Customer limits and overdue balances are not visible when orders are taken.
Order handling
Orders taken by phone and messaging apps are re-keyed, with errors and delays.
Supplier and pricing complexity
Price lists, promotions and supplier terms change often and are applied inconsistently.
