Grow your business with Fidelio Cloud ERP

It’s good for your business.

You’ve read that about digital transformation. You’ve seen others go through it — even competitors.

But still, the idea of becoming a digital-first business makes you uncomfortable. Like other business leaders, you may feel the following:

You’re caught in the middle of a tug-of-war.

On one side, the customers of your wholesale distribution business pull at you to deliver faster and reduce your margins. They may even expect you to have an e-commerce platform so they can buy conveniently online, just like consumers.   

Meanwhile, on the supply chain side, your vendors yank at your bottom line with higher costs and more complicated logistics as you grapple with managing global resources. To make matters worse, some suppliers are cutting you out of the value loop by selling directly to your customers. 

How are you supposed to sustain a growing business in the midst of all these pressures? 

That’s where Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software empowers small and medium-sized businesses like yours to respond efficiently, productively and at scale to business challenges. 

Your sales are flying, but profits are only limping along.

That’s not what you expected for your wholesale distribution business.

But with growth came mounting complexity:

• Thousands of SKUs quickly moving in and out of your various locations

• Daily headaches from your wide-ranging supply chain

• A non-stop balancing act in inventory management as you scramble to get customers what they need without choking your cash flow 

Moreover, competition is fierce and customers seem ready to switch their business at the slightest letdown in service. 

Fortunately, you’re well into your search for an ERP system.

That software’s capacity for centralizing data from all your business functions will give you complete visibility into your operation in real time. You’ll eliminate or automate processes and make better decisions faster based on real-time data.
