Operational Improvements

The principals of The Distributor Board have owned and managed distribution operations in a many different markets.  Successful operations can reduce costs, improve inventory turns, and deliver exceptional customer service.  Operations also has many challenges for a growing distribution business in terms of expansion, new facilities, hiring new people, and growth.  The Distributor Board will help you in the strategic thinking about operations changes and in the tactical implementation of those changes. This will positively impact customer service and your financial performance.

We can help you improve the use of your current ERP or inventory systems, or help you select and implement a new system.  We are experienced with all the latest tools which include Warehouse Management (WMS), transportation management (TMS), bar coding, and picking systems.

The Distributor Board has also successfully  helped many distributors recruit and hire new operational oriented personnel. As Jim Collins, author of the book Good to Great, stated, "it is important to get the right people on the bus." We help distributors do just that.
