01
Available-to-promise that is a guess
Sales commits what the warehouse cannot see. The apology is more expensive than the system.
Industry
Distribution
Distributors live between a promise to the customer and a bin in the building. When those two clocks disagree, margin leaves quietly. We tighten order-to-cash, inventory accuracy, and the integrations that keep commerce, warehouse, and finance from inventing their own stock.
Where the system usually breaks
02
Too many entities, one tired close
Intercompany and landed cost are reconstructed after the fact.
03
A stack of point tools
WMS, commerce, and EDI all 'integrate' and none of them agree at month end.
In this industry
How we work it
Inventory as a control
Accuracy, turns, and the specific locations that create noise.
Order cycle, measured
From promise to invoice, with the handoffs named.
Interfaces with failure modes
Every feed has an owner and a visible break, not a silent retry.
Landscape
NetSuite, Dynamics 365, and SAP are the usual shortlist, often beside an existing WMS we would rather respect than replace. We select and integrate for multi-entity distribution, not for a generic mid-market template.
Platform fluencyConsultation
Talk through a distribution program.
A partner will spend forty-five minutes on it. If we are not the right firm, we will say so before anyone writes a proposal.
