CHALLENGES FACED BY DISTRIBUTORS TODAY
SOLUTION
Businesses with multiple legacy systems, and no centralised location for these requirements, are already at a disadvantage when it comes to serving customers. Sage consolidates your work systems into one solution.
SOLUTION By making your data centralized, accessible and always up to date, departments and individual employees can work better together.
SOLUTION The right system helps you manage purchasing processes from beginning to end, starting with management of Requests for Quotes (RFQs), input and follow-up of replies, and integration into the price list base. You can optimise your stock, keep up with demand and ensure efficiency through real-time monitoring of inventory status. Having effective scanning and bar-coding functionality, for example, helps ensure that your materials and products are properly tracked.
SOLUTION The right business management solution will improve employees’ performance and reduce the logistical complexity of scheduling their work. Sage manages to compare the actual time employees spent on tasks and travels with the expected time budgeted. You can check efficiency and provide support where issues are identified.
SOLUTION Remote sales teams can access info such as stock information, past orders, open quotes, etc., whenever they need it, for sales with their clients—whether they are working at home or visiting their offices.
SOLUTION When your teams spend more than half of their days manually inputting data into Excel sheets or other mundane, error-prone manual tasks, productivity plummets. Sage reduces repetitive tasks through automation, saving them time and giving them the ability to create new orders while they are with the client.
