Distributor Business Network Digitalization App

Connect sales channels, distributors, and logistics providers using a blockchain-based platform that enables secure and transparent multi-party transactions, proactively prevents service rate and revenue loss, and reduces the bullwhip effect and demand variability in the supply chain.

Overview

Organizations face challenges in delivering products when third-party logistics and distribution networks are involved due to lack of trust, manual collaboration, increasing costs, and visibility issues. Another major challenge which is often ignored is the visibility of stock levels at the distributors causing the bullwhip effect with a lot of demand variability in the upstream supply chain business process.

Some of the other challenges facing organizations with multiple distributors include:

Poor collaboration between internal business functions (Sales, Manufacturing, Finance, distributor network) of an organization.
Manual and lack of standardized sales and distribution process involving data/document exchanges (Purchase Order, Sales Invoice, Good Receipt Note, Shipping Instructions INCO Terms, etc.).
Poor collaboration and coordination with sales and distribution channel partners and their business functions and related ecosystem (Custom House Agent (CHA), Transporter, Inspection agency, etc.).
Manual paper-based invoice processing and long invoice processing cycle times.
Manual reconciliation and matching for document submissions and receipt of payment from channel partners/customers.
Little to no exposure on third-party risk management or extended supply chains and non-compliances to multi-geographic jurisdictional requirements.
