Make better decisions with Acumatica’s ERP for wholesale distribution

Distributors have access to more data than ever before available, but many are challenged to turn that data into actionable information. Modern analytics allow distributors to collect, manage, and transform raw data into insights and intelligence to support decision-making.

One of the characteristics of today’s Big Data is its variety: unformatted text, images, scanned documents, sensor feeds, and more. A picture of a damaged item, for example, can be electronically attached to a returned product record along with a copy of an original invoice with hand-written notes. Integrating Document Management to Analytics brings this concept to life.

The Acumatica wholesale distribution system monitors key metrics for each functional grouping. Drill down into summary and detailed information, including access to supplemental information, is immediately available. Executive management has immediate access to the performance measurement details for fast, accurate decision-making. These functions are part of the business dashboards that are central to Acumatica’s analytics.

Workflow allows you to define a consistent and repeatable pattern for a given business process and helps administer and monitor the execution of that process. Workflow maintains complete records and status tracking, so records and supporting documents are moved through the process as the defined steps are completed. For distributors, this means that the steps in processes are clear and visible and the potential for confusion or delay are greatly reduced.

Mobile devices are everywhere and business leaders rely on them to store information (calendars, telephone numbers), communicate (email, text), and supply answers to questions (search, maps). With Acumatica, distributors can now empower every employee to access fast, accurate, and relevant information on any device, anytime, anywhere, including scanning barcodes in the warehouse and in the field.
