The SAP Business One application can help manage wholesale distribution by streamlining your entire order-to-ship process and providing clear visibility into inventory levels, order status, supplier schedules, and customer demand. Besides running your core business functions such as sales and financials, SAP Business One can help you:

Optimize inventory management – Track inventory levels and stock movements in real time to minimize "stock-out" situations, increase goods availability, and reduce inventory-carrying costs; also manage price lists, special pricing, and quotes.
Anticipate customer demand – Provide full past-transaction data, so you can analyze customer buying behavior to predict demand more accurately and balance inventory levels accordingly.
Streamline the order-to-cash process – Automate key processes to improve efficiency across the order-to-cash cycle, including order creation, stock-level updates, delivery, invoicing, and accounts receivable.
Tighten partner integration – Provide online self-service capabilities for customers and suppliers, so they can view inventory availability, the status of orders and deliveries, and billing information.

Wholesale Distribution Return on Investment with SAP Business One

A rapid return on investment can be achieved by:

Margin visibility – Getting a clearer picture inventory costs compared to sales prices may result in an increase in margin.
Improved revenue per customer – More accurate warehouse reports can help identify out-of-place inventory and other issues that can reduce revenue.
Labor savings – More accurate shipments can reduce returns, allowing the company to hire fewer people for the returns department.
Reduced inventory – Improvements in inventory can speed up turns, or allow the company to carry a greater number of lines.
