Understanding the Challenges in Sales & Distribution

Despite being critical to revenue generation, sales and distribution face recurring challenges:

🔁 Inefficient Order Management

Manual order entries cause delays and errors, especially during high-volume periods or promotional campaigns.

📦 Inventory Inaccuracy

Without real-time tracking, inventory mismatches result in overstocking or lost sales.

🚚 Disconnected Delivery Systems

Separate systems for warehousing and delivery logistics result in poor coordination and late shipments.

💬 Lack of Customer Feedback Loop

Delayed customer data leads to reactive rather than proactive service and sales strategies.

📊 Poor Visibility and Reporting

Businesses often lack real-time insights into product movement, regional sales, or salesforce productivity.
