Distributors with an intelligent ERP in place to help identify sporadic and unusual demand while maintaining customer pricing have a strong advantage over the competition; ultimately leading to better control over their inventory, increased margins, and a more seamless, profitable year.

Pricing has proven to be the most powerful lever for improving overall margins and increasing profits. Having an ERP system with the ability to easily set and maintain unique price structures for each customer enables margin-improvement while reducing traditional price formula maintenance, which is critical in these unpredictable conditions. DDI System’s Inform ERP has built-in pricing systems that make your sales force more efficient by tailoring pricing to each customer and situation. Being able to rely on your ERP to handle advanced warranties, contract prices, and vendor rebates, as well as having the ability to act on future unexpected cost increases while automatically adjusting sell prices, will keep your company profitable, and frees up time for you to address other priorities.

Powerful forecast algorithms, easy-to-use exception management, and unique, intuitive purchasing screens provide distributors with an array of tools not found in any other ERP software. Real-time replenishment calculation enables your purchasing staff to respond to customer demand as it is occurring, with the ability to re-balance warehouse inventory and adjust as needed.
