Quarter 3 2022
Insights, observations and traits
At this stage there is no doubt that we are trading old pandemic-induced economic pressures with new Eastern Europe war-induced supply chain disruptions.
Add to this mounting global inflation, fuel hikes, energy shortages, water shortages and more recently wage disputes mainly due to rising interest rates and ballooning cost of living, and you get a B2B sales environment that is white knuckle ridding with no end to the rollercoaster in sight.
As consumers we are feeling these pressures all too close to home, but what is less known and understood - is just how much of an impact this has had - and IS having on small to medium sized manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors.
What is unprecedented is that all these things are happening at the same time and compounded by broken supply chains, stock and material shortages - and rising prices all round.
So it is incredibly tough out there for these businesses at the moment. The answer is undoubtedly - to automate processes as much as possible.
There is no luxury of time any more to have paper based ordering and manual entries, usually entered a day or 2 later - then realising that we are now out of stock of some of these and so on.
The day-to-day needs to take care of itself so there is time for re-building relationships up and down the chain.
My advice is to research the technology that is right for you.
Off the shelf - one-size-fits-all - software packages are going to let you down.
Make sure you understand what you are needing from the technology being discussed and take them to task on showing you how they will solve these - as a business partner - long term.
