What differentiates one Distributor from another?

Case Study

Overview

A distributor wanted to improve the way they sourced inventory for their orders. They wasted too much time on supplier and service provider websites. This led to missed orders because, by the time they found the products from one supplier, they’d lost the others from another.

Business Challenge

The distributor had to search multiple supplier sites for better prices and availability on every order. Multiple supplier searches were required for orders with multiple line items.

Due to time constraints, some products from multiple
suppliers were not fully searched, resulting in inefficient purchases.

Additionally, these product searches had to be used to feed their catalog on their eCommerce and web stores and their purchasing process and web store catalog updates also needed to be improved.

The Solution

Using PromoLink’s Catalog Manager, product and inventory data were automatically imported into the eCommerce platform and Web Stores. With our Supplier Search Index, the distributor can now search for vendors and quickly check their catalogs and stock levels across multiple suppliers’ data in a single stop. They were also able to create, monitor, and configure purchase orders using the Purchase Order Portal module. Furthermore, our newest app, “Reconcile Purchase Orders,” enabled them to reconcile supplier invoices with purchase orders with little effort.

We worked with Web Services Pros to integrate PromoStandards API into our business. I was impressed with the solution and model that the Web Services Pros team presented. It worked well for my business and was different than other developers and agencies presented. The advantage is that WSP is on call to resolve any issues and is available to enhance the solution when ready. The team is smart, sharp, and creative, and have enjoyed working with them all.
