Meeting new business requirements

Capturing orders

Deciding where to place their new business order represents a significant decision for most customers and they need to see one or more key differentiators in place that will enable them to choose between one distributor and another. To stay ahead of their competitors therefore, distributors have to be able to react to new business requirements, which could be a new channel to market, introducing new products, offering different delivery options, moving into B2C sales, targeting new customers and so on.

Flexible response

For many distributors, new business decisions can be difficult, time consuming and costly for managers to implement because their IT systems were designed to run in a specific way which does not suit the new initiative. In the worst-case scenario, new business initiatives can't be implemented at all or have to be managed in a round-a-bout way, which introduces inefficiency into the process. It's essential to ensure therefore that IT systems are flexible so that new business changes can be introduced and managed as easily and effectively as possible.
