Wholesale distributors are faced with many issues in the current business environment. With shrinking margins, availability demand increasing and competition intensifying, wholesale distributors need to dynamically respond to a changing market. In pursuit of this goal, companies are looking for ways to streamline and rationalize their business processes and systems.

Midsized wholesale distribution companies face issues that are similar to their larger counterparts. They struggle with thin margins on high sales volume and relentless price pressures from customers. Legacy IT systems have left distributors facing additional challenges with silos of information, limiting their ability to improve processes, control costs, and create the efficiencies needed.

Whether its Cloud based EDI, or social media interaction, or sophisticated web stores on the horizon, the ability to compete has never been fiercer. Successful wholesalers are using Oracle to gain operational flexibility through the most sophisticated yet easy to use tools on the market.
