Importance of Distribution Management System | FieldAssist

Distribution Management System not just controls your down-stream supply chain, but it also helps you control promotions, improve productivity, streamline inventory and sales processes, and distributor claims – you get accurate, reliable data on secondary sales. Put simply, it is the engine that drives all your sales and distribution activities.

But the question is still arises, Why is a Distribution management system needed?

To understand the importance of using a Distribution Management System, we need to examine the critical challenges of Channel Sales Management in India:

·      Majority distributors are small, unorganized entities that have inadequate capital and tech infrastructure.

·      Multi brand distributors find it difficult to manage data for the various brands they handle.

·      Large distributors lack the actionable data and information.

·      To penetrate rural areas, it’s necessary to add several levels in the distribution chain, adding cost and inefficiency.

·       Lack of real time data on orders, inventory, claims and returns leading to stock outs or overstocking.

·       Limited penetration of the internet, and substandard logistics infrastructure.

·       This lack of information management has an effect of delay over your entire sales pipeline.
