Wholesale Distribution Software

Is there anything wholesale distributors can do to counteract the effects of a challenging economy, such as rising transportation costs, high uncertainties in demand and supply, significant increase in product diversification, and unbalanced business growth? Navigating through daily challenges may be difficult; however, distributors must find a way to operate in today’s competitive market or risk extinction.

The wholesale distribution companies operating within the Central region of the country are no exception. For instance, to run a successful business, a distributor must efficiently plan, source, stock, sell, recover, and analyze business operations. To complete all these, most wholesale distributors spend down much or all of their resources. Yet most of them are unable to reach peak performance, so it’s necessary to differentiate themselves from the competition and boost profit margins.

At Clients First, we offer complex wholesale distribution software solutions that can help distributors overcome inefficiencies by:

  • Interfacing with Amazon, Shopify, Big Commerce, and other commerce offerings.
  • Streamlining operations across multiple warehouses and stocking locations.
  • Analyzing and forecasting demand, allowing them to quickly adapt to changing market conditions and gain competitive advantage.
  • Controlling and optimizing inventory levels to mitigate loss.
  • Efficiently managing order processing to lower operating expenses.
  • Completing various financial operations, including expenditure tracking, income monitoring, budgeting, order invoicing, financial reporting, inter-company/inter-warehouse transfers, and purchasing, rebate and vendor analysis.
  • Lowering financial close cycles and reducing day sales outstanding (DSO).
  • Optimizing sales, payment collection, cash flow, and operating margins.
  • Integrating wholesale distribution software with other systems, including UDDI, EDI, XML, and ebXML.

  • Achieving 360-degree, real-time visibility across all operations.
  • Providing a reliable platform for customer self-service initiatives.
  • Staying on top of relevant regulatory requirements.

Most distributors know their industry sector very well and are completely aware of their business needs. But, since not all distribution accounting software solutions are created equal, chances are that distributors could end up with a solution without all the functionality they need. This may hinder their ability to meet customers’ needs, which translates to losing key opportunities and money, implicitly.
