ERP in wholesale: Automated success

An ERP as a central control center in the wholesale trade ensures that the processes in all company areas, from purchasing to merchandise management to sales, run efficiently. Automated and optimized processes are the key to satisfied customers and long-term success in wholesale.

Why do you need ERP software for wholesale?

With a merchandise management system or ERP, you control your company centrally and ensure smooth processes. This allows you to react quickly to stakeholder requirements and offer an all-round successful service.

Important functions for wholesale companies

Whether e-commerce or traditional retail, efficient processes are critical for wholesale companies. To optimize business processes, your ERP software should provide three key functions.

Your ERP software provides maximum transparency in the company with a central database. Suitable BI solutions ensure that you can view and analyze data in real time. Central and clear dashboards make it easy to control your company. With effective reporting and comprehensible reports, you are able to react to changes at any time.

CRM

Manage your customer data centrally and ensure high customer satisfaction with customized solutions. The basic prerequisite for this is an effective CRM module. Analyze customer needs and implement tailored, individual marketing measures. This saves you time, allows you to sell in a targeted manner, and noticeably improves customer satisfaction.

Inventory management

Keep your storage costs low, avoid out-of-stock situations and optimize your inventory management with the inventory management module of your ERP system. With central procurement and order management, you can improve purchasing processes, inventory management, and downstream processes such as picking and shipping.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about ERP Wholesale

What is wholesale?

Wholesalers are the link between manufacturers or producers and corporate customers such as retailers. Wholesalers sell the goods directly or after processing to B2B customers.

What challenges does wholesale face?

With increasing digitalization, the business of wholesalers has changed. Many processes are now carried out online. However, wholesalers sometimes run the risk of manufacturers delivering directly to end customers (direct-to-consumer) or retailers. Wholesale processes in particular must therefore be efficient and cost-effective in order not to be displaced.

How does ERP software help wholesalers?

Efficient business operations and optimal processes are the cornerstone of time and cost effective business management. Due to the increasing pressure on wholesalers, these factors are even more important today. With an ERP, you manage your company centrally and ensure transparent processes from purchasing to order and inventory management to sales.
