The Distribution Challenge: Are You Asking Enough From Your ERP?

As a distributor of goods in today’s challenging economy, you face increasingly global competition, growing complexity of supply chains and trade regulations, and continued volatility of oil prices impacting transportation cost. And to top it off, you most likely operate on razor thin margins. World Class Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementations have been shown to address these challenges and produce amazing results. Yet many implementations fail to produce the expected benefits and too many distributors are still “making do” with a less than optimal solution. Think there’s nothing better? Think again.
