Distribution
Within the last few years, the world's leading distributors and retailers have embraced the need to optimize their processus, and leverage information systems to increase their competitiveness. The supply chain now constitutes a global and integrated process that links all participants from supplier to end-user.
Today's new generation of supply chain management solutions allow distributors to reduce:
- Forecast errors
- Errors occurring in the preparation of the purchase order
- Delivery delays
- Shipping errors
- Receiving errors
- Invoicing/payment errors
- Shortage of supplies or back orders
- High inventory levels
- High transportation costs
- High supply costs
- High manufacturing costs
The development of technologies, such as integrated management software packages, Web services, or radio frequency identification (RFID), help to meet those different challenges. Thanks to the integration of operational and business intelligence systems, it is possible to increase the profitability as well as the rate of customer satisfaction while reducing costs.
The exchange of information among the various participants of the supply chain and by coordinating the information systems of the different stakeholders, logistics chains can contribute to allowing a company achieve significant competitive advantage:
- On-time deliveries
- Reduction of inventory
- Reduction of lead times for order fulfillment
- Precision of forecasts
- Overall productivity
- Reduction of the total cost of managing the logistics chain
- Level of service

Our business figures have almost doubled in the last 15 years, yet the quantity of resources assigned to administrative tasks remains the same.”
