The industrial goods distribution industry continues to change and evolve to meet market pressures and customer requirements. Industrial goods distributors of all kinds are under pressure to optimize the processes of acquisition, inventory management, warehousing, sales, and distribution. In order to improve sales, margins, and customer satisfaction, many have expanded product offerings to include private-label brands and have also added profitable add-on services.
Microsoft Dynamics offers the flexible, industry-rich solutions needed to succeed in this challenging business. We help industrial distributors deal with the increasing complexity of the industry.
Consumer packaged goods (CPG) distributors face big challenges selling to the fiercely competitive and rapidly evolving retail industry.

Alternatives, such as mail order, catalog sales, and direct sales, bypass the traditional distribution channels altogether, forcing companies to add value to their services to retain customers.
Microsoft Dynamics can help you succeed in the CPG industry with financial, process, and customer relationship management (CRM) solutions. Deploying these flexible solutions can give your company a significant competitive advantage by helping to: meet retailers’ demands more effectively, lower the cost of operations, and improve customer satisfaction.
