Deloitte Consulting Distribution Solution: Gaining visibility
As wholesale distributors continue to deal with pressure from the increasing demands of costumers and other market forces, new technology offers a potential solution. Though emerging tools offer a way to navigate the complexities of today’s business environment, a new challenge arises: finding the time and the resources to put new technologies in place. What’s required is an ability to implement new technology efficiently, to accelerate results. The ability to put in place a scalable, customized solution that can grow with your business is also important—as are improvements for baseline functions such as forecasting, cash flow management, product traceability, quality inspection, returns, and transportation planning. One potential answer to this bundle of challenges comes in the form of Deloitte Consulting Distribution Solution (DCoDS)—a pre-configured SAP® solution designed to help wholesale distributors undertake transformations that can help them manage their businesses more effectively.
