Managing Channel Inventory

We recognize that in order for a distribution chain to operate smoothly and efficiently, it needs a robust, reliable and scalable data management system as its backbone. However, doing so manually can put enormous constraints on your team to accurately oversee the constant flow of units in and out of the channel. This could end up costing you millions of dollars due to time-consuming, cumbersome inventory reconciliation methods.

Computer Market Research’s automated solution for effective inventory management provides manufacturers with a ‘full pane of glass’ that details the entire lifecycle of products moving in and out of the channel.
