The main
reason behind using a business management platform is to automate and streamline
your business processes. This is necessary to maintain a competitive edge and outperform
the market. The procurement process, which is an integral part of any VAR
business, too cannot be ignored. If the procurement process is tedious, it will
increase operational cost and time taken, thereby defeating the very purpose of
using the platform.
In order to
ease your procurement process, make sure your business management platform is
connected with all your distributors that you have partnered with. For
instance, if you are procuring products from Electrified Discounters, it is
important that the business management platform integrates with this
distributor. Electrified Discountersintegration with the platform will simplify your purchasing process. With
just a few clicks, you will be in a position to complete the ordering process.
Distributor integration
with the platform will simplify the way you conduct business transaction with
your product supplier. For instance, it will give you instant access to your Electrified Discounters catalog from
within the platform. The platform will allow you to browse and search products (using
the right keywords) from the catalog. The selected product can then be added to
your quote with a single mouse click. In simple words, distributor integration
makes it easy to select and then include the product into the quote.
Moreover, if
you are integrated with more than one distributor, you can even compare
products coming from multiple distributors and then select one that helps you
to maximize your profit margins.
Real time XML
integration is another feature that will allow you to pull product pricing and
availability information and then place orders in real time to that
distributor. So any updates to product catalog are visible to you in real time.
This feature is particularly useful when catalog content is changing
frequently.
