You can drive a transaction through every stage of the process in one system, which gives you the power to scale and control your business. But what about when some stages of that process aren’t so straightforward?
Wholesale distributors need a fast and cost-effective transition to a system with the capacity to automate your warehouse, manage your inventory effectively, and significantly increase your revenue.
Crowe can help you implement and customize your business management software with NetSuite solution integrations to streamline your operations and gain valuable financial insights.
But even the best-managed, highest-volume distributors find themselves with back orders.
Simply managing inbound inventory gets complicated. You can come up against inaccurate shipping dates, unexpected detention fees, and confusion about inventory ownership based on specific Incoterms.
You can’t always prevent delays or even anticipate demand, but you can be prepared with NetSuite technology that's set up to respond.
There are a variety of ways you can grow your business as a wholesale distributor, and we've seen that they all require the backbone of a strong enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that can automate your response to the unexpected.
Looking to outsource more of your warehouse operations to 3PLs? Need to optimize freight and outbound loads? The NetSuite platform has functionality to help you.
We can walk you through all the ways that NetSuite solutions can help you become more profitable, right down to invoicing efficiently or navigating customs and import concerns.
Some distributors have needs beyond what’s available from NetSuite solutions for wholesale distribution. These are some of the features we’ve already created for them, and we can easily implement for you.
Use predefined logic to automate inventory transfers between locations.
Simplify billing when you include multiple purchase orders on one vendor bill.
Verify that any warning information associated with a product is included any time it is entered, or when packing slips and invoices for it are printed.
Get the ability to select the fulfillment strategy, from fill or kill to ship or cancel to back order or special order.
When an item is only fulfilled out of certain warehouses, you can update that location on the header, and it will automatically update the location in all the sales orders for that item.
Use automation to reduce manual data entry with order classifications and NetSuite workflow technology.
This feature creates a transaction that automatically goes through your system when some of your product is collected for testing and destroyed by customs.
When sales orders are pending approval until a future order commit date, you can set up the system to default to a release date that factors in the lag and then switches status when the future order commit date is received.
