Microsoft Dynamics for Distributors Overview

Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) wholesale distributors today often find themselves squeezed between increasing customer demands, competitive pressures, and the accelerating spread of manufacturers across the globe. Tight margins and the high cost of excess inventory make cost control and efficiency crucial, especially for small to mid-size companies that can’t afford to make mistakes. Yet too many distributors simply accept the manual processes, delayed information, warehouse confusion, intuition-based purchasing, inventory errors, and decreasing profits that make them have to fight to survive.

There is also the challenge to traditional distribution methods. Alternatives such as mail order, catalog sales and direct sales bypass the traditional distribution channels altogether. To counter this trend, distributors have to add more and more value to their customers. Technologies such as RFID, EDI and integrated shipping capabilities not only address many retailers’ demands, but can also improve customer service and lower overall costs.
