Usually, the distribution management system is divided into several layers, depending on its functions and the operational process.

This article will explain to them the significance of these challenges and layers in order to attain the right output.

Let’s understand the associated layers of distribution management systems in brief:

LAYER-1: Manage Inventory Levels

The first layer is the basic layer. It has two functions:

  • It allows you to manage your stocks and other materials in a systematic manner
  • It allows you to generate business intelligence (BI) reports for tracking various aspects around the management of Inventory.

The function of the basic layer is to provide easy and accurate inventory and transportation management, as well as tracking information.

LAYER-2: Perform Quick Processing of Orders

“The right system for distributing merchandise from different brand manufacturers and product manufacturers can use a variety of merchandise in one store, and customers can see the benefits of choosing among multiple brands of products (Sachin Mehta, Sales Trendz, Benefits of Advanced Distribution Management System).”

The second layer involves a two-tier operation. It provides quality and accurate information to the customers for the quick processing of orders. It also prevents error and fraud.

LAYER-3: Establish a Decent Dealer-Customer Equation
