Direct-to-Consumer distribution poses new challenges for distributors. Increased transaction volume, automation across multiple online marketplaces, fast-changing consumer preferences, and competition on all sides require added visibility and logistical efficiency.

SAP Business One for Distribution Companies provides a flexible digital core for meeting all the needs of a modern DTC distribution business from real-time inventory management and demand forecasting to automating fulfillment across multiple online marketplaces and intelligently allocating replenishment across primary and secondary suppliers.

We offer a unique SAP Business One solution for distribution companies that combines a purpose-built suite-in-a-box cloud platform with years of distribution industry experience that has resulted in a portfolio of successful projects.

Ready for High Transaction Volumes

DTC distribution is different from B2B or B2C. The transaction volume from distributing directly to consumers is much greater than bulk orders, often by several magnitudes.

SAP Business One for Distribution Companies is built for handling both the high transaction volumes associated with DTC, as well as traditional B2B and B2C orders. Business One doesn’t break in the face of high transaction volumes like QuickBooks and spreadsheets.

One Solution for All Online Marketplaces

Each online marketplace has its own terms and web service protocols. Distributing through multiple marketplaces requires a flexible digital core that can integrate with all the major marketplaces and negotiate their differences.

Whether distributing through Amazon, Ebay, Walmart.com or all the major online marketplaces, SAP Business One for Distribution Companies helps distributors automate and standardize the DTC fulfillment process across platforms.

Real-Time Intelligence for Keeping Pace with Consumers

Consumer preferences change in real-time, so distributors need deep visibility for spotting subtle trends and keeping the right product volumes in stock at the right locations.

Purchase and manage inventory more intelligently with SAP Business One’s real-time demand forecasting and supplier management engine. Keep track of both serialized and lot-controlled inventory with ease, and automate inventory adjustments based on changing consumer demand.

Easy Management of Multiple Supplier Relationships

Supply chain instability demands ongoing relationships with several suppliers, both preferred and near-shore secondary options.

SAP Business One for Distribution Companies helps distributors stay nimble and redundant through automated management and order allocation across multiple supplier relationships. Custom rules ensure that inventory replenishment seamlessly flows around supply chain disruptions.

Fully integrated Operations in a Single System

Automation, visibility, and efficiency is the foundation of a modern distribution business. Coordinating inventory, warehousing, supply chain logistics, fulfillment, and invoicing requires an intelligent digital core.

Integrate and automate all aspects of distribution with SAP Business One for Distribution Companies. More than just accounting, Business One is an end-to-end solution built for running your entire business.
