Maintain, control, and lead the wholesale industry’s digital revolution

The wholesale sector is the backbone of the supply chain and the global economy that has expertly sustained the effects of the events of 2020. It is undeniable that building back-end systems is the only way to ensure long-term success in any industry. Wholesale and distribution are central to businesses as they operate in the background, between product design, manufacturing, and delivery. The wholesale industry stands at the helm, turning the wheel away from the storm and righting the ship with the help of digital tools.

The first stage of evolution

Speaking of digital innovation in the wholesale industry, many leaders have found themselves asking two key questions, “How do we keep up with the changes?” and “How are we going to find newer and better ways of managing inventory and selling stock?” These questions call attention to empowering wholesale enterprises to perceive future trends and focus on demand, inventory, and processes.

To maintain, control, and lead the wholesale industry through times of crisis successfully, all ideas converge at the need for automation. Digitally augmenting tracking and tracing stock while regulating purchase patterns can infinitely benefit the business. The right-time delivery/replacements and ability to generate more sales through actionable insights are the two cornerstones of any wholesale operation that can be strengthened with innovative digital intervention.

Guaranteeing success

Data-backed decision-making proves to be a sure-shot way of solving the challenges in a complex inventory environment. This means that the wholesale industry needs:

• Centralized tracking systems deriving power from cloud-based databases for accurate, automatic updates and backup.
• Warehouse performance reports for measuring metrics of stock turnover, customer behavior, and order fulfilling speed in real-time on a unified paperless dashboard for employees, vendors, suppliers, and the leadership to collaborate easily.
• Reduced human error with automated auditing of stock cycles on a daily for a predictive outlook on the inventory, accounts, and sales data, gauging perishable time frame of the stock, catalog stock regularly based on location, cost, and quantity to monitor shelf life as it directly affects the cash flow within the wholesale ecosystem.
• Streamlined logistics keeps an eye on shipment errors, damaged goods, and missed deliveries by categorizing and palletizing the warehouse to avoid overselling and automating workflows.
• Offset disruptions and increased leads times with insights from multi-location operations to singularize high demand and efficiency.
• Continuous online perspective with vigilant visibility of accounting, sales, and warehouse increases productivity remotely.
