Distribution

How does today's distributor become more competitive, combat shrinking margins and improve customer satisfaction in an online, global marketplac?

Efficiency is the answer

Technology is the tool

Experience makes it work…

Lower Costs. Expand Capacity
NexTec Group helps small, mid-market and mid-enterprise distributors use technology to become more efficient and profitable. By offering the leading solutions from two of the top software publishers in the world (Sage and Microsoft) and combining our years of distribution software and supply chain consulting experience, NexTec Group can help our clients achieve the results they need to improve their competitive edge.

Keep labor costs low with efficient picking and shipping paths
Pick. Pack. Ship. It sounds simple, but organizing an efficient warehouse takes careful planning. Over time, as prod-ucts shift in popularity or in seasonal turnover, you have to make adjustments to your picking paths and bin locations. Inefficient categorizing and routing exposes you to increasing labor costs. NexTec Group will help streamline picking methods and analyze inventory movement to ensure the most efficient product flow throughout your facilities.

Make better decisions with real-time inventory reporting, visibility and analysis
Once the exclusive domain of large companies, today’s software delivers built-in business intelligence tools to enable quick and decisive action. Using graphical dashboards and on-screen analysis of key performance metrics, managers and decision makers can analyze quantities sold, inventory movement, gross margin contribution, customer buying patterns and product seasonality. That information becomes especially useful when you set up rules and alerts to automatically notify customers, employees or vendors of inventory shortages, delayed shipments and other critical events.

Improve accuracy and efficiency with automatic data collection
Bar coding and RFID have revolutionized the distribution industry. These technologies help you accurately track inventory movement, which is critical to ensure that the quantity in your system matches the quantity in the ware-house. Additional warehouse management features such as lot and serial control, cycle counts, support for bin locations and inventory tracking in multiple warehouses help ensure that the on-hand quantity displayed in the system is accurate and reliable.

Create loyalty with fast, accurate customer service
Wouldn’t you like your sales and customer service staff to have an easy, on-screen interface filled with vital cus-tomer information? Customers want to know what’s in stock, when it will ship, what’s on back order and what has been returned. Even better, we can implement a customer self-service web portal that makes product avail-ability and shipping information available 24 hours a day. We help shorten the sales fulfillment cycle to deliver and invoice more quickly through rapid, accurate order processing screens that can be personalized for each user as well as display inventory availability, customer-specific pricing and current promotions or discounts.

Boost productivity by consolidating multiple systems
One of the most significant areas of inefficiency for many distributors is the need to manually export, manipulate and merge data from multiple software systems and external spreadsheets. We eliminate these unnecessary procedures by implementing fully-integrated distribution and financial management software systems along with the technical expertise to connect your core system with industry-specific applications, your website or other vital business software.
