Distribution Software in the Philippines

MAKATI CITY, Philippines - Dec. 1, 2013 - PRLog -- Companies that deal with orders, purchasing, inventory, customer service, supply management, customer management, sales, storage and delivery will greatly benefit from a distribution system.  Such a distribution software makes the management of these aspects of operation a lot more efficient and responsive -- while guaranteeing significantly diminished shortages and wastage.

Most manufacturing companies manage their inputs and outputs under the just-in-time  principle.  Not every input has to be on the site all at once because there is a cost in storing them; some materials may also lose quality when stored but not used for an extended period. Thus, a procurement of inputs should come in when there is an anticipated order. A distribution system ensures that the inputs come in as soon as an order is made so that processes can start at this optimal time.

The distribution software is what tells managers to act at certain crucial points

based on history or records of the company.

On the other end, when a product has been manufactured, it is not ideal for it to be stored at some warehouse for a long time. The customer will not like the delay and there may be costs associated with it.  A distribution software also ensures that the products get out of the warehouse and into the appropriate delivery systems at the best possible time at the lowest possible cost. Similarly, the distribution system enables the company to track the product and confidently tell the customer when it is arriving. Another benefit of the distribution system is to provide intelligence on the buying patterns of existing and potential customers. Thus, managers are able to identify how they can best reach out to customers for better sales.


There are numerous distribution systems in the Philippines and just as numerous are the companies that provide and implement them.  At this point, some have taken this process a step further by taking advantage of the wonders of Internet technology to maximize the results provided by the existing distribution systems. Online distribution software does away with the physical and often limiting hassles attendant to on-site distribution systems like bulky servers and required specialization of the user. Rather, at any time of the day, and wherever the executive or decision maker might be, he or she can have access to information as opposed to going to the office and relying on an IT subordinate to provide the reports to him or her.

Online distribution systems make life so much easier. With time and energy on one's hands, a manager can thus make better business decisions and constantly generate ideas on how to grow the business, satisfy customers and even reach out to new ones.
