Distribution Software Improves Forecasting And Collaboration

Using distribution software, such as a customer relationship management (CRM) system, can lead to more successful forecasting and collaboration.

According to a recent article on the Supply and Demand Chain Executive blog, nearly half of all distributors are still using manual processes to forecast, plan and collaborate. That method often causes redundancies and a loss in efficiency. Automation is the best way to eliminate those issues. The job of a wholesale distributor is to have the right product in the right place at the right time. The planning process for distributors has to do with finding out from their customers what they’re going to need and, even better, how much they’re going to need.

The article also offers other suggestions to help with the automation process. Read more on the Advanced Distribution Software website.
