Inventory Management
A typical Wholesale distributor’s revenue mix is dominated by sales from company owned inventory and a distributor’s inventory management practices play a crucial role in determining the operational efficiency of the enterprise. It is not uncommon for Food Wholesale distributors to carry over 60,000 food items to serve the changing needs of their customers. This ever increasing SKU count also demands that distributors use accurate measures like Gross Margin Return on Investment (GMROI) that combine gross margin and inventory turns to determine the efficacy of their inventory management practices.
Poor inventory management practices can undermine a distributor’s competitiveness and result in :
 |
Increased inventory carrying costs and hence a reduction in ROI |
|
Lost investment buying opportunities |
|
Stock outs and lost revenues again leading to a reduction in ROI |
Wipro’s Inventory Management expertise can help any distributor to:
|
Enhance inventory visibility across locations |
|
Integrate disparate inventory management systems across the enterprise |
|
Reduce shrinkage by deploying efficient POS exception reporting systems |
