INDUSTRIES : Distribution

Today's businesses face tremendous pressure to improve productivity in every aspect of their business. Faced with increasing domestic and global competition, generating better margins through price increase is no longer an option, resulting in constant battle to stay afloat. This is especially the case with wholesale distributors that are pressed from two sides, suppliers and customers. Faced with the above challenges, many distributors have successfully adopted new strategies and changed their business models, with the following common approaches:

Move internal business processes onto website through a Customer Self-Service Portal. Now customers can browse products, place orders at pre-determined price, track order status and request product returns. These are traditionally handled by internal employees.
Reduce inventory by letting manufacturers make drop shipments.
Create more bundled product offerings. Sell more solutions than just products.
Retain customer loyalty through regularly run promotions.

It's not unlikely that in some industry such as computer parts distribution, any orders of less than $500 actually costs the distributor more than it makes.

Instead, the sales people will work more closely with customers on important tasks such as educating customers about new products, working on customers' project and retaining customers' loyalty.
