WHOLESALE/ DISTRIBUTION

Being the middleman between the producer and the seller of a product requires an appreciation of what each party wants and firm understanding of how you can provide it. That means wholesalers and distributors are juggling competing interests along with their own in business. Dashboards can provide owners and staff with quick, direct ways to check key measures of success.

Dashboards are very effective and efficient in tracking general activities and how they contribute to the success of the business. In addition, dashboards also present other essential information, such as special orders, promotional offer sales, return goods, warranty claims, plus service issues.

These activities and others can be measured, monitored and managed as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

Some issues that wholesalers and distributors may wish to track include:

Key Performance Indicators, such as the ones listed above, and the tables, charts and performance dials used to display the information, can be selected and customized for the business owner, department managers and other staff.

General data relevant to the entire operation can be displayed in visual form for owners. In addition, Dashboard Programs also can show data relevant for a specific department or activity for department managers.

The image above is a picture of a dashboard that shows supply chain KPIs for a manufacturer. Comparable statistics for any type of wholesale/distribution operation can be used to provide similar displays.
