Supply chain management solution for distributors

Food distributors and processors are challenged by increased competition from traditional and newly formed channels, intense margin pressures, complex deal management and accurate profitability reporting and demands for mobility and real-time visibility. They are faced with multiple units of measure, labor shortages, traceability requirements, multiple DC support, inventory control, ability to satisfy needs of millennial customers, buyer performance, automation and cost containment strategies. Complex pricing and costing needs and access to digitized product content drive distributors to seek integrated purpose-built solutions that are designed specifically to handle their unique requirements without limitations in flexibility and scalability.
