Turn Operational Complexity into Competitive Advantage
Fluctuating demand, rising operating costs and supply chain disruption can quickly affect inventory levels, fulfilment performance, customer satisfaction, and profitability. For ANZ distributors who want to succeed in this environment, growth increasingly depends on the ability to make fast, informed decisions.
This IDC InfoBrief examines why many distributors are struggling to respond at the pace the market demands. One in three distributors identify fragmented data and disconnected systems as a major barrier to digital transformation. When procurement, inventory, warehouse, sales, and finance operate from different datasets, teams lack the real-time visibility needed to manage exceptions, control costs, and act with confidence.
The report explains how ERP modernisation can help distributors establish a connected digital core. By standardising processes and bringing operational and financial information together, businesses can improve responsiveness and reduce manual effort while building greater confidence in performance data.
Why this report matters to distributors:
- See how connected data can help operations teams respond faster to demand changes, stock issues, and fulfilment challenges.
- Explore how finance leaders can improve visibility across margins, working capital, forecasting, and performance management.
- Identify the technology priorities that support greater automation today while preparing the business for AI-enabled operations tomorrow.
According to the report, 63% of surveyed businesses plan to invest in ERP, finance or business intelligence applications over the next 12 months. The case for modernisation is becoming increasingly clear.
