Competing in Time: 5 Targets for a Distributor's Hit List Educational Webcast

Wednesday, January 30, 2013 @ 10:00am ET and 7:00am PT for one hour.  Featured Speakers are Steve Epner-Brown Smith Wallace Consulting Group, Brian Lombardo-Infor Distribution, and Anna Wells-Industrial Distribution.

Speed is the best competitive differentiator for distributors. The faster you obtain relevant information, the better you are able to offer the best level of service to your customers and suppliers. Competing by price has its challenges, but competing in time is an area where every distributor has a chance to succeed.

According to Steve Epner, CSP, Brown Smith and Wallace Consulting Group in the whitepaper, Competing in Time, there are 5 key time management targets that distributors should consider to help them gain efficiencies and increase service levels. The question is how do you gain the benefits of time?

Consider all your business processes. Do you know exactly how much time it takes:

• From order entry to fulfillment?

• From printing a pick ticket to packing is complete?

• From shipping confirmation to invoicing?

• From receipt of a complaint to resolution?

Attend this webinar featuring Steve Epner, CSP, Brown Smith and Wallace Consulting Group, and Brian Lombardo, Industry Solutions Director, Infor Distribution, as they take a closer look at the 5 targets and apply real world examples of how you can gain the benefits of time, how you can improve your processes, and how your ERP can help facilitate these objectives.

You'll have the opportunity to pose questions to the expert panel via email at the conclusion of this webcast.
