Whether you sell your products to resellers or directly to consumers, connecting to One Network’s cloud-based Real Time Value Network and subscribing to its Distributor Best Practice Template means integrated inventory and delivery execution that reliably senses demand in real time, establishes correct inventory levels, and optimizes delivery.

Challenge: Enterprises today must consistently deliver better value and service to their customers (whether resellers or consumers) or allow competitors to gain at their expense. However, delivering products to customers in a timely manner while maintaining low transportation and inventory carrying costs is difficult, and usually requires compromise and sub-optimal results. The fact is, even leading enterprises who follow industry “best practices” are still constrained by the current technology environment.

Problems that ERP and current systems cannot solve:

• Vertical systems and databases that silo critical demand, supply, and logistics data
• Direct deliveries and dynamic sourcing capabilities
• Long information lead times related to information exchange between systems mean stale data
• Inability to orchestrate domestic and international suppliers and logistics providers
• Lack of visibility within and outside of your organization
• Inability to synchronize the inventory in-transit with inventories
• Inability to quickly mitigate inbound risks and outbound delivery constraints
