AHTD: Do High Tech Better with Enlighten.Net
Getting ahead and staying ahead has never been more complex. The distribution industry is no stranger to challenges. With rising costs, supply chain disruptions, and tariffs, distributors must brace themselves for what lies ahead. Additional challenges include persistent inflation, fluctuating interest rates, geopolitical tensions that will impact trade and consumer patterns. Tight labor markets will make recruitment, retention, and skill development more difficult. As aging professionals retire, fewer specialists are entering the job market — creating intense competition for talent. Years of institutional knowledge walk out the door with exiting employees and isn’t passed on to new team members.
The role of the Office of the CFO is changing as well. It’s no longer enough to be financial scorekeepers: Today’s financial leaders are expected to manage risk, find and fund new sources of value, and lead strategic initiatives that ensure the success and sustainability of the enterprise.
Challenges in today’s business environment also offer opportunities for distributors to innovate and evolve. While the road ahead may be challenging, preparation and the right tools can make all the difference.
By adopting technology that will enhance your ERP solution and focusing on supplier and customer relationships, distributors can turn these challenges into growth opportunities.
