To combat the challenges of today’s marketplace, progressive distributors looking towards the future are investing more and more into digitizing their processes to optimize performance.
These companies recognize that:
- Data can be monetized. This means that information in their ERP systems can be acted upon rather than remain in data silos and databases. Whether this is better understanding inventory dynamics, analyzing customer sales performance, or managing sales, data needs to be analyzed and acted upon.
- Generational change is impacting staffing, which is driving companies to automate repetitive processes, therefore improving employee satisfaction, improving accuracy, enabling business scalability, and, perhaps more importantly, allowing rote activities to be automated so roles can be redefined.
- Customers are communicating in more ways than ever before, either to sales staff or via systems if they prefer self-serve. This acceleration to omni-channel / omni-service environments adds much nuance to business and companies are reacting. It’s all about “ease of business” to customers and “ease of serving / managing the business” for your staff.
- Employees need the latest tools to effectively do their job … and to improve productivity.
And we haven’t even touched on CRM, eCommerce, AI, Teams, text management, ChatGPT, BI tools and much more. We’re no longer worrying about eCommerce; we’re talking about the digitalization of business interactions.
