Business intelligence for wholesale and distribution businesses
Distributors, importers, and B2B suppliers — protect your margins, optimise inventory, and identify payment risks before they impact cash flow.
Common challenges we help address
Familiar situations for many wholesale & distribution businesses.
Margins erode gradually
Supplier costs increase incrementally, and without continuous monitoring, the cumulative impact on margins may not be visible until year-end.
Inventory ties up cash
Capital locked in slow-moving stock reduces flexibility, while fast-moving items risk going out of stock at critical times.
Customer payment risk
Large B2B invoices on extended terms create exposure. A single late-paying customer can create meaningful cash flow pressure.
Vital signs for wholesale & distribution
Automatically computed from your connected tools. No manual data entry required.
Gross margin by product
Track true margins per product line after all costs — not just markup.
Inventory days on hand
See how long each product sits in your warehouse tying up capital.
Accounts receivable aging
Identify slow-paying customers early and prioritise collection efforts.
Supplier cost trends
Track cost changes from each supplier and receive alerts when margins are at risk.
Customer concentration
Receive alerts when revenue becomes overly dependent on too few customers.
Working capital ratio
Monitor the balance between what you're owed and what you owe.
A wholesale distributor discovers that one supplier has increased prices 8% over six months through small incremental changes — leading to a renegotiation that saves significant annual cost.
