For small to medium wholesalers or distributors, managing inventory could be a nightmare because there is so much to keep track of. Poor inventory management often results in not enough stocks when demand is high, overstocks when demand is low and missing re-ordering times, and you may not realize until customers complain. Multiple warehouse locations make inventory management even harder.
Pricing errors is another common pain point of distributors / wholesalers, this grave mistake can lead to huge losses in revenue. Discounts and promotional pricing should be done with utmost diligence. Using spreadsheets seems mission impossible, just one wrong pricing formula in your spreadsheet could eat up your already slim profit.
Miscommunication could seriously slow things down in this fast-moving industry. Communications could be overwhelming as a lot of things / changes could be happened in just a day, and many require chained actions to cope with, they could involve customers, suppliers, logistics, own warehouses, 3rd party warehouses and even more. Therefore, keeping both internal staff and external parties up-to-date and in the know has never been an easy task for distributors / wholesalers.
