As a company in the wholesale distribution industry, you face many challenges – razor-thin margins, global competition, complex supply chains and partnerships where the customer and the supplier often dictate the terms of business.

The right business management software can help you manage operational complexities, integrate information and processes and provide powerful decision-making tools that increase performance, reduce costs and facilitate collaboration and communication across your business.

With business management software from SAP, you can be a best-run wholesale distribution company. SAP software helps you:

• Optimise logistics processes – Bundle orders and ensure an optimised, cost-effective delivery. Inventory optimisation facilitates the best possible use of storage capacity and significantly improves efficiency.
• Improve profitability – Facilitate value-added marketing and sales for wholesale distribution, such as professional Internet sales, call centre management, customer information management and repackaging according to customer specification. Capitalise on innovative services such as direct sales from trucks, direct store delivery and supplier-managed inventory.
• Enhance cost recovery – Support a chargeback process for reimbursements based on special agreements. Manage data capture, subsequent invoicing and control of chargeback agreements. In addition, track and manage bonuses to optimise financial agreements with suppliers.
• Reduce financial and transactional costs – Offer your partners various financial services, such as centralised regulation, invoicing and factoring. Extend bonus settlement and Web-based complaint administration to significantly reduce your financial and transactional costs.
• Make better decisions – Allocate costs based on information in the vendor billing document, improve cost transparency and evaluate profitability. Ensure sound business decisions with real-time profitability analyses of diverse business processes.
