Do you have clear visibility into your distribution channels?
With the current economic downturn, lack of visibility and control is a chief concern among major manufacturers.
With limited available credit and working capital tied up in inventory, companies are looking for ways to not only reduce costs, but for solutions to increase potential revenue. Now more than ever, it is important to find more revenue from existing supply.
You will learn how to:
- Recognize the evolution of yesterday's linear supply chains into today's complex multi-enterprise supply chains
- Manage demand volatility through increased responsiveness of your demand processes and reduced reliability on static forecasts
- Increase cash flow by pro-actively invoicing distributors and carefully managing rebate manipulations, which can lead to revenue leakage
- Increase potential revenue by decreasing order cycle time and replenishing the channel on an as-needed basis
- Decrease inventory liability at the product and distributor level, whether driven by an abridged product life cycle, short shelf life, or partner bankruptcies
- Lower technology costs on an ongoing basis, as well as at initial solution deployment, due to economies of scale that are available with the increasingly popular SaaS delivery and licensing model
