How can smaller distribution companies compete, in a highly demanding market with expectations set by huge market leaders?
Firstly, it’s understanding where their shortcomings are. Where are the holes in the service offering? Where are the in-efficiencies and where is lost ground on the competition?
The shortfall is likely going to be influenced by a lack of technology adaptation.
With so many moving parts in the supply chain, having the right technology to deliver a service that meets expectations, within an acceptable timeframe, securely - is a must.
You need to identify where your lack of capability is impacting your service and where technology investment can fill the gaps.
Many smaller companies will look to outsource elements of IT.
Why?
Gain access to multiple areas of expertise for a simple one off monthly cost with less risk
Ability to pay for a service rather than invest in technology, people, and develop processes which take time
Third-party expertise which immediately fill gaps for the skills missing
