Distribution
There was a time when wholesale and distribution was a pure trading environment in which companies simply bought goods, stocked them,then sold them on. Warehousing and logistics were the primary functions that had to be managed. Today's wholesale and distribution companies face different challenges, such as the provision of added value services and complex sourcing arrangements.
Wholesalers work hard to build profitable growth but, faced with shrinking margins, growing costs, and new competitors, many are offering value-added services to improve customer loyalty, and outsourcing core business processes to reduce costs. As competition continues to grow in the industry, wholesalers will have to find new ways to streamline and rationalise their internal infrastructure to drive the operational excellence demanded by customers.
All this means that having effective warehousing and logistics operations is no longer enough. Wholesale and distribution companies must have complete visibility of their complex supply chains.
