The electrical distribution business is all about margins. And there’s no shortage of pressure on them: manufacturers are selling direct to your largest accounts; customers demand constant value-add; global operations are on the rise; and the sheer weight of product continues to soar with ever shortening product life cycles.
The only way to win is to work faster and smarter. To manage the whole process from customer demand to supplier management. To automate, and automate well.
Your choice of software has to be right. We understand. This is our speciality. We know you need solutions that can be implemented quickly and integrated with other systems. But we also know you need software that has been developed by people who understand your business.
- Short product life-cycles and degrading prices mean you need sophisticated pricing structures (fee-based pricing, markup pricing and unique customer pricing).
- High volumes and fast turn-around mean you need precision warehouse routines and accurate procurement.
- Customers taking their business global means you need to understand international regulations and tax law.
- The dynamic nature of your business means you need to be agile; to be future-proof means having a system that becomes more sophisticated faster than your requirements grow.
