Wholesale & Distribution

Wholesale & Distribution businesses operate across customer & account demand, bulk purchasing & supplier terms, inventory as trading capital, customer-level pricing & margin, receivables & trading cash flow, each shaping the others in ways that are often difficult to see in real time.

We help wholesale & distribution organisations bring these operating signals together to improve coordination, respond earlier to change, and make better decisions across the business.

Operating Environments

CUSTOMER & ACCOUNT DEMAND

  • Surface meaningful demand shifts by customer segment
  • Identify high-value accounts showing early buying-pattern change
  • Support segment-aware commercial decisions

BULK PURCHASING & SUPPLIER TERMS

Challenge
  • Buying in bulk requires balancing price breaks against capital tied up
  • Supplier terms and volume commitments affect margin before a sale is even made
  • Purchasing decisions are made without full visibility into resale economics
Our Approach
  • Connect bulk purchasing decisions with resale margin outcomes
  • Surface the true cost of volume commitments
  • Identify supplier terms that erode downstream profitability
  • Support purchasing decisions grounded in resale economics

INVENTORY AS TRADING CAPITAL

Challenge
  • Inventory functions as working capital, not just stock
  • Slow-turning inventory ties up cash that could fund new trading opportunities
  • Overstocking one product line starves capital from faster-moving ones
Our Approach

  • Identify slow-turning stock consuming disproportionate capital
  • Surface reallocation opportunities across product lines
  • Support capital-efficient stocking decisions

CUSTOMER-LEVEL PRICING & MARGIN

Challenge
  • Pricing varies by customer, volume tier, and negotiated terms
  • Discounting decisions are made deal-by-deal without portfolio visibility
  • The same product can be profitable with one customer and marginal with another
Our Approach
  • Connect pricing decisions across the full customer portfolio
  • Surface customer-level margin variation
  • Identify discount patterns eroding portfolio profitability
  • Support portfolio-aware pricing decisions

RECEIVABLES & TRADING CASH FLOW

Challenge

  • Payment behaviour varies widely and changes without warning
  • Revenue booked on paper can lag badly behind cash actually collected

  • Connect customer credit terms with actual payment behaviour
  • Surface deteriorating payment patterns early
  • Identify the gap between booked revenue and collected cash
  • Support credit and collections decisions with real-time visibility
