Why Choose Logic ERP Distribution Software for Inventory Management?

Inventory mismanagement may lead to overstocking of items in the warehouses or out-of-stock issues. Both cases will lead to losses, but the latter situation will lead to customer loss and a decrease in reputation level.

That’s why as a distributor, you need to give extra attention to inventory management. The advanced distribution software by Logic ERP gives you the ability to easily organize your items and stock. Create custom analytics reports, manage order processing, streamline order picking & packing, and track inventory movement in real-time under one platform.

Challenges faced by Distributors

Distributors are the middlemen between the manufacturer and consumers. Their responsibility is to maintain an adequate supply of goods, ensuring that the manufactured items reach the customers on time and intact.

A distribution process consists of multiple stages and you have to ensure consistency in every stage to maintain the health of your business. But sometimes, distributors find themselves stuck when they have told inventory to make sure that stock is available for the clients. If not managed properly, distributors will be vulnerable to price fluctuations, economic turmoil, changing trends, etc. Following are some of the challenges affecting distribution business on a large scale:

  • Lack of communication with retailers and suppliers

  • Dynamic customer demands

  • Errors in data handling due to manual process

  • Fast delivery expectations of retailers

Inventory Tracking

Inventory is known as the heart of any business, and managing it is a complicated task, especially when you have to deal with dynamic shifts in market conditions. Logic ERP distribution software helps you to solve matters related to inventory issues so that you can feasibly address the fluctuations in sales. It provides real-time updates on inventory movement and helps in better decision-making with customizable reporting.

Manage Overstocking

Sometimes, there may be cases of inventory leftovers due to low demand or any other reasons. An ERP inventory management module enables you to analyze overstocking conditions and react immediately. A delay will only generate unnecessary trash and cause a loss of money that might have been saved if you have a proper inventory management module in place.
