Consider your current system. Is it efficient? Is it effective? Does it give you up to the minute data on what your stock levels and sales figures are like? Does it manage your business processes in a cost effective way? If any of these questions were answered in the negative, then it may be time for you to look at a new system.
Here are some of the areas that distribution software can improve on:
Most distribution software programmes that are available provide for order processing and application management. This increases your organisation of documents tremendously.
Distribution software also has inventory control applications which help you to keep better track of what stock is where and what the levels of stock you have available for filling orders. This means that you are not as likely to unexpectedly run out of stock and be forced to let your customers down by not being able to fill their orders on time.
Distribution software can also handle most of your accounting needs. You can also use it to handle your purchasing requirements and supplier details.
Some distribution software is also able to handle customer care. This can dramatically reduce the risk of queries getting lost and never attended to.
Distribution software makes your finance management,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], warehouse management and supply chain management much easier. It achieves this by automating many processes and integrating the various information databases into one system so that the information is available at the click of a mouse button, rather than forcing you to sift through half a dozen different programmes.
This kind of software can effectively manage your sales figures and gives you access to your sales figures with up to the minute accuracy. This way,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you can tell if the sales representatives are doing their job efficiently on a daily basis or if it is time for a performance review.
Due to the wide variety of distribution software available,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is important that you do your research to find the appropriate piece of software for your business. One way of managing this is to find a piece of software that does most of what you want it to do, and then to get the designer of the software to make the required adjustments and develop the applications that are missing for it to do everything you require. Try and avoid paying for applications that you will never use.
An alternative to this is available. That is to have software design company design distribution software that is unique to your company. Of course this does tend to be more expensive than buying ready-made software and having some alterations made.
The major advantage of installing distribution software is that it integrates all your business processes into one system thus reducing risk of data transfer errors and loss of data.
