Wholesale & Consumer Distribution Industry

Wholesale and consumer distributors (b-to-b and b-to-c) face increasing competition to provide a quicker and better informed service in their logistics and sales role between manufacturers, resellers, and end users.

 

Like many industries, wholesale distributors are challenged by disparate legacy IT systems and communications protocols, and processes that are not fully automated – not only within their enterprise, but also when integrating with their supplier and reseller partners.

 

We deliver solutions to wholesale distributors to meet these challenges with a particular emphasis on the following business needs:

 

 

  • Global Order Processing
  • Global Client Integration

Global Order Processing

 

We deliver solutions that automate client-specific order processing and fulfillment, often with a second goal of increasing the capabilities of electronic self-fulfillment for low-margin customers.

 

Our solutions integrate with legacy systems, including inventory, shipping, invoicing, and other ERP applications. Our solutions can include automating manual processes such as avoiding pulling paperwork through document imaging.

Global Client Integration

 

We deliver solutions that electronically integrate wholesale distributors with their suppliers and customers through middleware and adaptors for differing communication protocols.

 

Our solutions can be based on existing communications infrastructures and message schemas through the use of translation layers, or by implementing new infrastructures.
