Consumer Packaged Goods Distribution

Improve Profits and Customer Satisfaction through Innovation

Microsoft’s solutions help enable consumer package goods (CPG) distributors to better meet customer mandates, streamline business processes from customer to manufacturer by integrating the warehouse to the general ledger; react quickly to changes and opportunities; collaborate on inventory availability with customers and suppliers; and manage complex promotions while cutting costs to ultimately yield improved customer satisfaction and operating margins.

Microsoft helps enable CPG distributors to:

Dynamics shares a common code set and connects easily into the Microsoft development platform, so leveraging information across applications and the Internet is now simple and effective. And, they’re fully compatible with familiar Microsoft productivity tools such as Microsoft Office. Easy-to-use and fully customizable, Microsoft Dynamics products deliver superior integration capabilities with other systems to help you achieve a truly interconnected experience.

At Systematica our goal is drive down the cost of internal operations with Automatic Data Collection (ADC) sales systems that are tightly integrated to all other business systems in the organization. This integration will aid a distributor in nearly eliminating comprehensive inventory counts, lower inventory required to service customers, pull customer orders in one-half to one-sixth of the time currently required, and comply with changing customer demands.
