The B2B e-commerce module of Modern Distribution platform enables distributors to collaborate with their customers online, leading to a faster time to market and more accurate estimation of demand. Distributors must collaborate and communicate across their supply chain with up-to-date tools such as EDI, portals and e-commerce sites as well as traditional order capture processes--across their entire B2B environment to support today's Omni-channel environment. Distributors also need to increase their field sales productivity by extending order execution and stock visibility to mobile devices thereby taking away the paper work involved in the delivery operations. Smart operations on Route/Van sales enables the field sales to be more productive on field by having real time information. Sonata's Modern Distribution mobile app and the enhanced analytics suite come together to help distributors achieve this, bringing a real time visibility and efficiency to field sales.

Another reason for traditional distributors to perform poorly is the inability to manage Order to Cash cycle, not meeting margins and ignoring the vendor support dollars to be collected against customer invoice. The Modern Distribution platform protects and increases margins by providing visibility and execution function across supply chain using Advanced Supply Chain for Dynamics 365, a component of Modern Distribution Platform. Advance supply chain manages your supply chain process using the Plan to Profit approach. The platform thus brings together all elements that enable digital-ready supply chain and distribution management to drive growth through new channels of engagement, ensuring channel loyalty while keeping best in class margin management in view.

"Digital Commerce and last mile connectivity is a very important piece of a distributor's strategy," says Rajsekhar Datta Roy, Associate Vice President, Global Practice Head - MS Dynamics, Sonata Software. "Most distributors need to have some online presence for product information to at least direct customers to them, if not offer a complete online shopping option. Sonata's Modern Distribution Platform benefits the Distributors in achieving the e-commerce and mobility priority to collaborate with their customers and reduce time to market."

Sonata Software Limited has long standing customer relationships with world leading consumer and industrial products companies and supply chain specialists across the U.S., Europe and Asia.
