Frequently Asked Questions about Wholesale Software

Why do we need Wholesale Software?

Wholesale software empowers companies to effectively manage all the operations of the warehouse and logistics, therefore playing a critical role in the whole supply chain management solution (SCM). Wholesale software encompasses key functionality such as accounting, inventory management, warehouse management system, logistics, ordering and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).

How can Wholesale Software improve operations efficiency?

With increasing competition from online category killers such as Amazon, there is a lot of pressure on wholesale traders to optimize their operations. Wholesale software helps them achieve this by properly integrating all the operations of the organization. For example, wholesale software can help an apparel wholesaler in Dallas maintain proper inventory levels in its Houston warehouse by ordering goods only when the inventory falls below the pre-determined threshold level. This saves on transportation and handling costs. With the increasing use of wholesale software, wholesale companies have been able to reduce their inventory-to-sales ratio.

How can Wholesale Software help in decision making?

When a consumer goods retailer in Philadelphia orders goods from a wholesaler which has multiple warehouses on the East Coast, it is the wholesale software that determines the warehouse from where the goods should be transported. The wholesale software will make the selection based on the predefined rules like minimum cost incurred. Manually, the selection process can be very complex and generally leads to inefficient decisions – which is why wholesale software can improve operational efficiency and lower the cost of goods sold.

Can e-commerce software be used with Wholesale Software?

Wholesalers can use information technology (IT) to provide better services to their customers. A computer retailer in New Mexico can track their consignments online if the e-commerce software is integrated with the wholesale software. Everest Software provides fully integrated wholesale management software which helps wholesalers manage their business operations online and offline.

How is the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) useful in Wholesale operations?

CRM software can help wholesalers react quickly to changes that have an impact on their business. For instance, if the sales to one of the customers has declined in previous months, CRM software will send an e-mail alert to the sales manager to take appropriate action. Similarly, customers can be automatically informed of shipment details.
