What we hear
What we hear from trading and distribution teams
The problems we hear most — and what changes once the system holds the process.
01
Margin found too late
Landed cost, freight and forex are applied at posting, so gross margin per line is known when the quote is raised, not at month end.
02
Price lists in spreadsheets
Customer, campaign and volume pricing sit in the system with approval rules, so discounting stops being a private arrangement.
03
Stock promised twice
Availability checks reserve against sales orders, purchase orders and transfers in one view.
04
Supplier lead times unknown
Purchase planning uses actual receipt history instead of a guessed buffer.
05
Multi-company reporting by hand
Consolidated P&L across entities and currencies is a report, not a monthly spreadsheet exercise.
Capabilities
What we implement for trading and distribution

Inventory and item tracking
Lots, serials and locations tracked from receipt through to delivery.

Contract prices, campaign discounts and rebate accruals handled in system.
Distribution dashboards in Power BI

Day in the operation
A trading order, end to end
Where the numbers come from on a normal working day, from enquiry to collection.
- Margin visible at quote stage
- Per line
- Group consolidation without spreadsheets
- Multi-entity
- Available-to-promise across PO, SO and transfers
- Live
02
Order confirmation
Credit limit and ageing are checked on release. Stock is reserved against the order so it cannot be promised twice.
03
Supply decision
Sell from stock, raise a purchase order, or drop-ship straight from the supplier — linked to the same sales line.
04
Import and landed cost
Freight, duty, insurance and clearing charges are allocated to item cost by value, weight or quantity as the shipment is received.
05
Pick, pack and deliver
Warehouse documents, delivery orders and partial shipments post against the order with no re-keying.
06
Invoice and e-Invoice
SST codes apply by item and customer, and the invoice is submitted for MyInvois validation with the response stored on the record.
07
Collection and rebates
Ageing, collection follow-up and customer rebate accruals run off posted data instead of a side spreadsheet.
