The Situation:
B2B channel is a very important link in many industries such as FMCG, Consumer Durables, Lifesciences and Automotive. The channel partner may increase or decrease the distance between you and the next link in your consumer side supply chain. The higher your secondary & tertiary sales visibility, the more leverage you have in planning your inventory, promotions and cash flows. Disconnected systems where information through various channels takes as long as 30 days does
not help.
The Solution - iDeal:
A DMS (Dealer Management System) can help bridge the gap by giving you real-time visibility of the secondary sales. With a more realistic view, inventory can be better planned improving sales, reduce loss of sales due to stock outs and improve working capital requirements at both ends through optimal stock-product mix planning. It can also help in improving customer service and increase stickiness with your Dealers through transparency on stocks, payments and promotions.
iDeal (pronounced ‘ideal’) is a modern DMS developed on the SAP Cloud Platform. Your sales channel partners such as distributors, dealers, stockists and end customers can use this for primary and secondary sales. It allows your sales and marketing teams to engage with them and collaborate.
iDeal helps your customers stay up to date with status of their orders, dispatch details, payables, pricing, stocks and promotional schemes. At the same time, your sales teams get a visibility of secondary sales, inventory levels, stock status, complaints. Being a self-service portal, this leads to reduced need for voice and email communication and provides transparency with anytime, anywhere access. The delays and errors in order processing are eliminated by directly linking iDeal to the backend SAP ERP / S/4HANA system.
