If you're a distribution manager, you may sometimes wonder which century you're living in. On one hand, age-old distribution challenges are still here: How to plan inventory to satisfy customer demand, and how to control costs without compromising quality? On the other hand, 21st-century challenges such as new supply chain management procedures are making the job harder than ever.

Hands-on Systems can configure distribution and import costing solutions that give you a strategic insight into your current processes, helping you replace bottlenecks and inefficiencies. You can respond faster to customer demands and gain an important competitive advantage. You can also keep profits from leaking away by improving productivity and managing by exception.

Our systems can be tailored to cater for serial and batch tracking, bin location management, bulk/pick stock and the warehouse worm. Advanced distribution options can even allow the system to suggest which of your employees should pick stock, from which bin location using which forklift.

Hands-on Systems distribution and import costing systems could help you significantly reduce data entry and save hours of time. For example, you can set up automatic daily purchasing tasks and transfer quotes, orders and back orders into fulfilment orders; those in turn transfer fulfilment orders into invoices and shipping labels.

In addition to significant improvements in warehouse and inventory processes, Hands-on Systems solutions for distribution can help you manage all phases of your sales cycle. You can track sales histories to identify top customers, and monitor sales efforts to help keep marketing and advertising efforts on target. Better access to customer data can also help you create add-on sales, earn repeat business, and focus on the revenue-building efforts that can benefit the business.
