Select an industry below to learn more about how Advanced Distribution Partners will revolutionize your distribution business.
Apparel & Piece Goods
The apparel and piece goods industry is driven by fashion and demographics. To stay competitive, you not only need to anticipate trends, but you also require a full view of inventory to fill and deliver orders in a timely fashion. The ideal solution will offer this functionality for traditional and online orders alike, including multiple warehouses.
Beer, Wine & Distilled Alcoholic Beverages
With demand dependent on consumer preferences and demographic trends, it is crucial that distributors of alcoholic beverages have a clear, timely view of inventory and accurate business intelligence. In order to make quick, informed decisions, you need a solution that can be deployed efficiently.
Chemicals & Allied Products
Distributing chemicals and allied products involves much more than the simple transportation of orders from Point A to Point B. Distributors may manage customer inventory, plus offer blending, packaging, waste removal and technical training.
Drugs, Drug Proprietaries & Druggists’ Sundries
Distributors of drugs and druggists’ sundries need to balance on-time delivery of goods with strict attention to quality control and compliance with government regulations plus industry standards.
Electrical Goods
As an electronic goods distributor, you handle millions of parts and/or appliances from around the world. In order to deliver the product your customers want at a competitive price, you need to form strategic relationships with your suppliers and vendors.
Farm Product & Raw Materials
Farm Product & Raw Materials distributors face unique challenges that are dependent on their product. For grain, field bean and other raw materials distributors, storage management is crucial in order to ensure product quality. In the case of livestock, meeting all regulations regarding appropriate animal care before and during transport is crucial.
Furniture & Home Furnishings
How you stock your warehouse is highly dependent on design trends. Without the right business intelligence, it can be impossible to predict your inventory needs, resulting in having too much stock that won’t move or too little of the most popular furnishings.
Hardware, Plumbing & Heating Equipment
In the hardware, plumbing and heating equipment industries, lacking a comprehensive enterprise resource planning solution can cause redundancies, opening up the opportunity for errors and delays. You need a flexible solution that gives you complete visibility of your inventory and sales in order to give your customers the high-quality service they deserve.
Lumber & Other Construction Materials
In the construction industry, the delay of a single shipment can easily have a chain reaction, impacting an entire project. As a lumber and construction distributor in this industry, you do not want to be the cause of a halt in the building schedule.
Machinery, Equipment & Supplies
Globalization has meant significant changes for the machinery, equipment and supplies industries. Distributors working with suppliers from around the world must be able to operate efficiently while complying with global regulations and adapting to various languages.
Metals & Minerals
Metals and minerals distributors have to be attuned to government regulations both in storing and shipping materials. Inventory management is also key, particularly for companies that also provide JIT delivery services.
Motor Vehicles, Parts & Supplies
In the Automotive industry, you simply can’t afford to be caught short on inventory. The sheer number of vehicles or auto parts involved in a single transaction can be in the tens of thousands. You require vehicle software that oversees your inventory with precision.
Paper & Paper Products
Competition in the paper and paper products industry is fierce. Whether you maintain a broad range of products or focus your business on a specialized selection, you need to meet tight deadlines and exceed customer expectations at every touch-point in order to succeed.
Petroleum & Petroleum Products
Petroleum and petroleum product distributors face significant challenges. Dramatic price fluctuations of crude oil and an economic recession can reduce demand of your product.
Professional & Commercial Equipment & Supplies
When you specialize in distributing professional and commercial equipment, your customers expect prompt, safe delivery of their orders – delays at best may cost them business and at worst, such as in the medical industry, lives.
Retail
Shoppers demand speed, convenience and unlimited accessibility, whether they are buying in a bricks and mortar shop or online. For distributors, this means on-time delivery to the retailers you service is No. 1. Without full visibility of your inventory and up-to-the-moment business intelligence, it’s all too easy to break promises made on critical orders.
