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 drive 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 and you lose customers. No wonder effective supply chain management is what often separates successful distribution companies from those that struggle.
Those that succeed are constantly looking for incremental improvements that will keep them ahead of their competitors. The challenges are multiple: accurately predicting reactions to promotional campaigns; gaining consensus on demand across several channels; determining the most effective way to invest in inventory across supply networks.
