Distribution
Overview
Distribution is a continuous function. As globalization continues, new channels
are constantly developing. New approaches are being formed to cater to global needs
- third-party logistics services, global sourcing of products, RFIDs, etc. Distribution
oriented companies are shifting to more advanced distribution management processes
to be more competitive in the global arena. These trends are driving changes in
distributors' business relationships and processes. Customer service expectations
are changing and major customers and vendors are now demanding specific service-level
agreements and compliant technology business processes.

tools that enables distributors to offer quick responses to customers, pursue new
market opportunities and improve profitability. The solution offers the critical
resources they need to manage every aspect of their business, from order entry and
