The new pre-packaged solution includes preconfigured industry-specific best practice scenarios designed to improve the entire wholesaler/distributor supply chain, from efficient processing and tracking of orders, to transportation and warehouse optimizations. Ki4 Wholesale Distribution’s numerous tools and accelerators facilitate a rapid deployment and minimize day-to-day business disturbance, while reducing total cost of ownership and accelerating return on investment.

“Companies in the wholesale distribution industry face unique challenges” said Paula Milano, president of Ki Solutions. “Ki4 Wholesale Distribution offers midsize companies a complete solution specifically tailored for their industry, along with Ki Solutions’ expertise to help them successfully implement the solution with project management, training and customer support.”

Ki4 Wholesale Distribution, which provides 100% real-time information, includes preconfigured optimized sales order processing functionalities such as product proposals and substitutions, real-time availability and credit check and product margin calculations. Procurement optimization and out-of-the-box advanced transportation capabilities are also preconfigured as part of the solution. Varying levels of RF-ID integration, from “light” to “complete deployment” are bundled into the solution and bar-coding integration is offered.
