28 problems wholesale distributors bring us, each with the cause, what it costs and what we build to fix it.
Wholesale price rises mean rebuilding trade price lists by hand for every band and account. We build a price list generator fed from your stock system.
Wholesale customers invoiced above their agreed price means credit notes and angry buyers. We build a pricing check that catches it before the invoice goes.
Wholesale reps write orders on paper or text them in, and the office keys them the next day. We build a rep ordering app that works on a customer visit.
Wholesale distributors miss supplier rebates because volume targets live in spreadsheets. We build a rebate tracker fed from your purchase and sales data.
Wholesale delivery runs planned by hand each evening waste miles and miss drop windows. We build route planning that uses your orders, vans and delivery rules.
Late wholesale orders after next-day cut-off disrupt picking and runs. We build order intake that applies your cut-off rules and tells customers what to expect.
Food and drink wholesalers find short-dated stock when it is too late to sell. We build date tracking that flags lines early and supports first-expiry picking.
Wholesale back orders are found at picking and customers learn at delivery. We build shortage alerts, back order tracking and automatic customer updates.
Wholesale claims for damaged, short or wrong items drag on for weeks. We build a claims log with driver evidence, approval rules and automatic credit notes.
Wholesale distributors see sales per customer but not cost to serve. We build a customer profitability view that adds delivery, drops, credits and terms.
Retailers keep asking your wholesale team for product data, images and barcodes. We build a product data hub that fills each customer's template for you.
Wholesale standing orders for pubs, cafes and sites are kept on paper and keyed each week. We build standing order automation with customer changes and holds.
Wholesale deal sheets and supplier-funded promotions eat the month. We build a promotions tool that sets prices, produces deal sheets and prepares claims.
Wholesale minimum drop values and carriage charges get waived by habit. We build order rules that apply your terms on every order and report the exceptions.
Distributors miss supplier return and stock rotation windows on slow wholesale lines. We build a slow-line review that flags stock you can still send back.
Wholesale mispicks between similar flavours, sizes and pack counts cause returns and credits. We build scan-to-pick checks and mispick reporting.
Wholesale telesales teams ring customers from printed lists with no order history. We build a call list tool showing who is due and what to offer.
Wholesale reps visit trade customers without seeing overdue balances, claims or falling orders. We build a pre-visit account view on the rep's phone.
When a wholesale line is short, whoever orders first or shouts loudest gets it. We build allocation rules that share limited stock by your priorities.
Wholesale drivers collect cash and cheques at the door and matching it to invoices takes hours. We build a driver app with receipts and same-day checks.
A product recall means a wholesaler must find which trade customers got one batch. We build batch capture and a trace report that lists them from one search.
Every manufacturer sends wholesale cost files in its own layout, and buyers retype them. We build a cost file importer that maps, checks and loads new costs.
Short and damaged supplier deliveries at wholesale goods-in go unclaimed. We build goods-in checking that records discrepancies and raises supplier claims.
Seasonal wholesale pre-orders for Christmas, garden or summer lines live in spreadsheets. We build forward order booking tied to supplier orders and delivery.
Drinks and food wholesalers lose kegs, crates and pallets because returnables are not tracked per customer. We build a returnables ledger on the driver app.
Duplicate and dead product codes in a wholesale system cause mispicks, wrong stock and bad reports. We build a product clean-up and rules so it stays clean.
Wholesale vans arrive at closed premises and bring stock back. We build delivery notices, failed drop recording and redelivery rules that cut wasted trips.
Wholesale split case orders cause stock errors and unpaid handling. We build split case rules, pricing and stock handling that match how you really sell.
