The distribution industry can be very competitive. With advancements in technology, many distributors can reach global markets much easier than they could in the past. Customers expect results from a wider range of channels, and competitors can now have a reach in your local market, even if they are thousands of miles away.
To compete effectively, you need to find creative ways to fuel your profits and create an edge for yourself over your competitors. CAL Business Solutions, Inc. offers a white paper with real-world solutions to many of the issues distributors face. "12 Revolutionary Ideas That Fuel Distributor Profits" offers examples from distributors in a variety of industries along with ideas that can help shape your company's future through the use of Microsoft Dynamics products.
One auto parts distributor managed to reduce transportation, cycle count labor, and infrastructure costs by 25% using a Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) program that allowed its repair shops avoid out-of-stock items, while also limiting the amount of investment in inventory.
Another distributor grew by 50% using Microsoft Dynamics NAV and "exploding" Master Orders. With the right process for drop/direct shipments, the company was able to process 25,000 orders per month, saving $1 million.
The above two examples are just a taste of what the white paper from CAL Business Solutions has to offer. With innovative ideas and real examples from leading Microsoft partners, this white paper is a must have.
