What Gets in the Way

  • Sales headDepots out of step

    One depot runs short while another holds the same material.

  • CFODealer exposure

    Dealer receivables grow because the next order ships before the last one is paid.

  • LogisticsSite deliveries by phone

    Project deliveries are arranged on calls, and freight is recorded later.

Questions buyers ask

Can depots be replenished from the plant plan?

Yes. Stock transfers move material from plant to depot and are tracked in transit.

Can dealer and project orders run side by side?

Yes. Both are sales orders with their own price lists, credit terms and delivery points.
