Benefits of solutions for distribution

•	Pass on promotions to your customers. Whether your promotions are specific to a particular product, product line, or customer, your people can easily manage the complex promotional activities currently in the market.
•	Strengthen customer relationships. Fulfill orders in the way your customers request. That means you can accommodate specific delivery times, multiple schedules and destinations per order, billing cycles, and special packaging or palletizing. This functionality helps your company provide exemplary customer service that is customizable and easily tracked.
•	Integrate automatic data collection (ADC) functionality. Accurately track receiving, shipping, and delivery of products by tightly integrating your warehouse and customer delivery ADC systems with your financial, inventory, and sales order systems. Using this powerful functionality, your people can access delivery status in real time.
•	Streamline product and service entry. Adding information into multiple systems takes valuable time. Your people need the ability to enter data about a new product quickly, easily—and once—so they can continue to grow your business. The integration between distribution and accounting software helps streamline this process.
•	Control your process from start to finish.  You can easily retrieve data about an order to respond to recall notices, determine product delivery status, or find out which customers are purchasing which items. These tracking and data-retrieval functions free your people to focus on the exceptions of your business and provide great service.
