Setting the pace of operations in wholesale distribution

New technologies, changing market dynamics, and increasingly demanding customers are altering the way distributors do business. Find out how you can lead this revolution with the support of SAP solutions.

itelligence assists you bringing your wholesale distribution operations into the digital age.

Distribution goes digital

When it comes to technology, many distributors are still lagging behind. While digitization transforms operations in wholesale distribution, some companies are missing opportunities as they fail to utilize demand management systems, omnichannel commerce platforms, or inventory management solutions.

To boost customer retention, distributors need to gain a single source of truth and optimize processes. This enables them to not only know what’s going on in their business, but also keep customers informed, satisfied, and most importantly, loyal.

Our wholesale distribution specialties

Streamline your wholesale distribution operations to stay ahead in the consumer goods sector.

Plumbing & electrical supplies

Bidding on jobs is very common in the plumbing and electrical sectors, and vendors offer discounts on high-volume orders. Distributors require technology that gives them an overview of these discounts so they can always find the best price.

Omnichannel commerce assists companies in meeting the demands for distributing building supplies.

Building supplies

The building supplies sector is very diverse, including both small goods and bulk products, sales and rental, B2B and B2C. In order to thrive, distributors therefore require flexible solutions and omnichannel commerce.

How wholesale distribution is changing in the digital economy

Process automation and standardization

Improving operational efficiency is a top priority in wholesale distribution. Before distributors can capitalize on the latest technologies, they first need to streamline and standardize their core processes. By integrating and automating procure-to-pay and order-to-cash processes, for example, distributors stand to save time, eliminate errors, and ultimately improve customer satisfaction.

System integration and modernization

There is a lot to gain from replacing stand-alone systems and point solutions. End-to-end integration enables distributors to gain accurate real-time insights based on a single version of the truth, so they can make the right business decisions and transform their business.

Big data and predictive analytics

Wholesale distributors have a wealth of data at their disposal – but only a few innovative leaders are using it effectively. By analyzing this data, distributors can get deeper insights into their supply chain and make predictions to optimize demand management, planning, and sales processes.

Price optimization

Distributors are responding to increased cost pressure by trying to recover costs from vendors. Incentive management solutions enable distributors to gain a clear overview of complex discount, rebate, and commission programs so they can improve their profitability.

Supply chain management

To meet rising customer expectations, enterprises need to reimagine their supply chain. Process automation, flexible IT solutions, and greater data transparency are key to efficient supply chain management.
