What are the 3 biggest mistakes distribution companies make?

Kyle Kienzle, Microsoft Dynamics GP distribution consultant in Raleigh NC has outlined what he has witnessed as the 3 biggest mistakes a distribution company can make and how they can be avoided:

1. One of the biggest mistakes is using a low-end solution with manual processes to subsidize it.  This is not a savings; it is a cost center for your employees causing them more frustration, turnover and morphs to a poor work environment.
2. Not reviewing the complete transaction from supplier, to inventory, to shipping, to customer, to invoicing, to accounting, to commissions with visibility throughout to insure all data is precise and only entered once.
3. Not harnessing all benefits available to them.  Microsoft Office, Outlook, Sharepoint, Microsoft Dyncamics CRM and GP (Great Plains) all have significant benefits, integrations and free tools available that most people are not using to enhance their business and simplify operations.  I can review this and in a few hours, uncover many of these.
