The problems
The Distribution Challenges That Slow You Down
Distribution is a margin business. Every inefficiency in your warehouse, every disconnect in your order flow, and every surprise from a vendor directly hits your bottom line. These are the problems we help distributors solve.
Warehouse Complexity
Multiple warehouses, bin locations, lot tracking, serial numbers — your warehouse operations have outgrown your systems. Pickers are using paper, inventory counts are off, and you can't trust what the system says is on the shelf.
Demand Forecasting
You're buying based on gut feel and last year's numbers. Without data-driven demand planning tied to your purchasing workflows, you're carrying too much slow inventory and running out of what customers actually want.
Shipping & Logistics
Coordinating carriers, managing freight costs, tracking shipments, and handling returns across multiple shipping methods is a manual, error-prone process. You need automated shipping workflows that integrate with your ERP.
Vendor Management
You depend on dozens or hundreds of vendors, each with different lead times, pricing structures, and reliability. Without a centralized vendor management system, you're always chasing purchase orders and hoping deliveries arrive on time.
EDI & Customer Compliance
Major retail and wholesale customers require EDI for purchase orders, advance ship notices, and invoices. Non-compliance means chargebacks, lost listings, and strained relationships. Manual EDI processing is error-prone and doesn't scale.
From dock to door, every handoff is an opportunity — or a leak. Make the system see what your people see.
From Reactive to Predictive Distribution
What changes when the warehouse, the planner, and the customer all see the same numbers.
Paper pick tickets, mis-picks, and angry customers
Mobile-driven WMS with directed picking and put-away
Stockouts on bestsellers, dead stock on slow movers
Demand forecasting that learns from real sales patterns
EDI errors trigger chargebacks weeks later
Validated EDI flows with real-time status tracking
Shipment status comes from refreshing carrier websites
Multi-carrier integration with proactive ETA alerts
