SAP Business One for Wholesale Distribution

In the wholesale distribution industry, it is critical to have an in-depth understanding of your business operations across the entire organisation, which includes finance, sales and CRM, procurement, inventory and logistics. Read on to see how SAP Business One for Wholesale Distribution can help you to manage your entire distribution business to optimise efficiency.

Without a deep insight into your operations and efficiency, it is difficult to pinpoint specific areas or stages for process improvement and in the long run, this may limit business growth and profitability.

A common obstacle faced by distribution companies is when they operate a standalone (silo-ed) sales system which lacks integration to the central accounting/ inventory system – this increases the risk of having inaccurate inventory and reports, resulting in difficulty not only in day-to-day operations, but may also cause business disruption and inefficiency during month-end and year-end closing.

To eliminate these issues and increase productivity, a growing number of distribution businesses choose to upgrade to a fully integrated wholesale distribution ERP system, providing them with more accurate and timely insights into their entire business operations.
