Why the distribution industry is
better off with Acumatica Cloud ERP
As a sole collection point for all an
organisation’s data from multiple sources,
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions
act as a “single source of truth” – eliminating
data duplication, enhancing data integrity,
and enabling users to drive growth, manage
costs, and be more productive.
Now, some readers might be thinking
“My internal processes are great. They’ve
worked for years.” That’s fine, but without
re-examining and improving those processes,
business owners can become very dependent
upon employees, and increasingly at risk of
serious mistakes happening when personnel
changes occur.
Empowering distribution companies
The distribution industry is a complicated
one, and the technology chosen to run
systems and processes can make or break a
company’s bottom line. If you can’t deliver
your orders on time and at the best price,
another distributor certainly will be more
than happy to do so.
Acumatica Cloud ERP can modernise and
scale many processes to meet customers’
demands. It helps manage the unpredictability
of the distribution market by empowering
distributors to streamline processes from
quote to cash, optimise the supply side of
distribution operations, and make better
financial decisions.
Quote to cash
Distributors who want to serve their
customers from “quote to cash” (and every
step in between) are turning to Cloud ERP
in growing numbers. Excellent customer
service processes require information such as
customer order history, shipping schedules,
product return protocols, archives for recall
processing, etc.
Knowing the customer makes them feel
valued, and to know them, businesses need
access to critical information at every stage of
the process. Acumatica Cloud ERP makes this
possible without needing to upgrade existing
IT systems.
Optimised supply chain
In today’s marketplace, it’s becoming more and
more necessary to connect the supply chain
from beginning to end. Inaccurate inventory
information hurts efficiency – therefore an
exact understanding of your stores, stock, and
orders throughout the supply chain is needed
for effective decision making.
True supply chain automation with Acumatica
Cloud ERP enables you to keep a detailed eye
on the entire supply chain – as well as taking
care of ordering and inventory tracking. This
provides full, consistent visibility of critical
information to all users, and eliminates
headaches for supply chain managers. It
also cuts down on unnecessary and often
inaccurate data entry, resulting in a faster and
more reliable supply chain process.
Make better financial decisions
Powerful BI and analytics tools collect eyewatering
amounts of raw data that can be
used to inform a business’s decisions and
direction, but the problem lies in how all this
data is transformed into something of value
– data is only as useful as the information it
delivers, otherwise it’s just noise.
Acumatica Cloud ERP monitors key metrics for
each functional business unit. Users can drill
down into summary and detailed information,
including access to supplemental information.
Executive management has immediate access
to performance measurement dashboards
for fast, accurate decision-making.
