Consumer durables

Time is valuable in consumer durables distribution. You need to keep inventory and delivery time to a minimum. More than that, you must drive down distribution and handling costs to maintain profits.

Every second counts

Consumer durables distributors have to keep ahead of competitors, whether they are low-margin distributor alliances or broad line, global operations. Vendor-managed inventory (VMI), an ever-growing trend, requires total visibility of inventory throughout the supply chain.

You have to fulfil complex orders with a wide variety of stock. Operations from reception, through warehouse and distribution, to billing and customer service, have to be streamlined. For that, you need the power of an integrated, automated solution for supply chain management.
