Find Out If It’s Time to Upgrade to an Enterprise Management Solution

Ecommerce is now a way of life for B2C transactions; all B2C companies know that if they’re not online, they don’t exist. In the past few years, this trend has extended to the B2B world as well: Forrester reports that 56% of B2B buyers now purchase online.

Everyone knows that today’s distribution and logistics industry can be hard to succeed in. This isn’t simply because distribution giants like Amazon are creating unrealistic customer expectations such as two-day (or same day!) shipping with 100% accuracy at all times… or because supply chains are getting longer and harder to manage. One of the top challenges is also the distribution industry’s greatest opportunity: the eCommerce landscape.

As a small or mid-size distribution company, one of your main concerns is your ability to actively compete against your larger rivals. Your business needs to continue to grow if you plan to stay competitive. How you invest in your company and what forms of technology investments you decide to pursue are decisions that can lead the way toward your company’s future success.
