Distribution

The Wholesale Distribution industry is faced with shrinking margins, growing costs, new competitors and demanding customers. Many wholesalers are offering value-added services and introducing private label goods to increase margins and drives profitability.

Working in the distribution industry, your core asset is inventory. Keep too much of it on hand and you waste resources and risk obsolescence. Keep too little on hand and you lose customers. No wonder effective supply chain management is what often separates successful distribution companies from those that constantly struggle.

The wholesale distribution industry is experiencing solid growth of over 8% pa which combined with the need to accurately predict reactions to promotional campaigns and gain consensus on a single view of demand across multiple channels makes it more challenging to determine the most effective way to invest in inventory across supply networks.
