As a distribution network expands, managing data from different distributors can become increasingly time-consuming. Each distributor may use different applications, data formats, column names, reporting periods, and working processes.
Collecting multiple files, checking the data, standardizing formats, creating pivot tables, and compiling reports can take hours or even days. By the time the report is ready, sales, stock, and other distribution data may already have changed.
What Is Disti Integrator?
Disti Integrator is a system that helps businesses integrate distribution data from different systems. It connects data from various applications, databases, spreadsheets, and external platforms.
In an indirect distribution model, businesses often work with multiple distributors to reach different markets. Sales, inventory, delivery, collection, and outlet visits generate data throughout the distribution process. However, the data may come from different systems and use different formats.
Disti Integrator brings data from these sources into a single data flow. Businesses can access the data they need without switching between systems or manually collecting and consolidating reports.
Signs Your Business Needs Disti Integrator
Disti Integrator can be useful for businesses that have:
- Multiple systems and data sources, including ERP, DMS, SFA, spreadsheets, databases, and external platforms.
- Different data formats that need to be standardized before being integrated.
- Multiple brands, SKUs, channels, or promotion programs that generate data from different sources.
- Daily reporting needs that require data from various systems.
- Distribution data from different partners or sources that needs to be connected to other business systems.
Why Do Businesses Need a System Integrator?
Businesses often use different systems for sales, inventory, delivery, finance, and other activities. When each system has its own data and reports, teams need to collect and compare information from different sources before they can see what is happening across the business.
For example, a Sales Director may need to know which regions are seeing a decline in orders, which products are running low on stock, which outlets are no longer being visited, or which promotion programs are not meeting their targets.
When distributors use different systems, the data can also look different from one source to another. Product codes, outlet IDs, and data definitions may vary, making it difficult to compare information directly. For example, the meaning of an active outlet, productive visit, available stock, or net sales may differ between systems.
A system integrator connects data from different sources and standardizes the information, so teams can see and compare the data they need without checking each system separately.
- Faster Access to Data
Teams need timely access to sales, stock, outlet, and other distribution data to make decisions. When reports from different sources take days to collect and compile, the information may no longer reflect the latest situation.
Disti Integrator connects data from different sources, so teams can access the latest data sooner. It helps them monitor sales, stock, outlet activity, and promotion programs without waiting for reports to be collected and compiled separately. - Connecting Different Systems
Distributor A may use a DMS, Distributor B may use an ERP, while Distributor C relies on spreadsheets. Each system may use different product codes, outlet IDs, and data formats.
Businesses need a system that can connect data from different sources. Disti Integrator connects data across various applications, databases, spreadsheets, and external platforms without requiring businesses to replace the systems already in use.
