Quick Facts
As a wholesale distributor, you likely face unrelenting competitive pressure to keep prices low and to increase volume, and that means being on a constant lookout for ways to improve margins and grow revenue. This requires greater focus on reducing operating expenses and cutting costs throughout the order-to-cash process, managing inventory more efficiently, and integrating operations more tightly with your customers and suppliers.
SAP Business One software can help you manage this balancing act by streamlining your entire order-to-cash process and providing clear visibility into inventory levels, order status, supplier schedules, and customer demands. The software provides complete support for:
- Order-to-cash management – from entering customer orders, setting up deliveries, and updating stock balances to managing invoices and payments or collections
- Inventory management across multiple warehouses, using FIFO, moving-average, or standard costing
- Tracking stock transfers between warehouses, enabling consignment, drop-ship, and other orders; and performing inventory and cycle counts
- Serial and batch number management
- Visibility into customers' complete order history to predict demand and adjust inventory accordingly
