Why do we need Distributors who also Manufacture?
Do you worry that your vendor is trying to sell direct to your costumers? Are you tired of telling your customes that “we can’t get that made the way you want it. ” One way to deal with these issue is to focus some of your resources into enhancing the product you distribute and/or by doing some light manufacturing of your own. Sound familiar?
Ron Verni, the CEO of Sage Software said recently:
” . . . We’re also seeing the traditional models of manufacturing and distribution melding, with distribution companies doing light manufacturing and manufacturing customers engaged in more traditional distribution,†. . . ”
Friendy Systems is great shape to help those companies that are visionaries in their field, to make their journey by offering a fully integrated ERP amd MFG solution along with expertise at delivering business intelligence that makes it all work the way each business needs and wants it to work.
The future of distribution will be to ALSO do some light manufacturing, so that the distributor can differentiate themselves from their competition. These “DistMfgrs” can offer products that their local market needs but is not readily available from the very large manufacturers whose products they already offer. And this strategy works!
Friendly knows that to successful offer more products and services, you need software that can help you to do that AND you need people to help you impliment that software so you can use it to achieve your goals. We have seen dramatic increases in the bottom line, for our allies who implemented integrated solutions that addressed these concerns.
We have done this with others, let us help you, too.
