Heavy infrastructure and complex, physical logistics processes are capital hungry. The operational costs of a traditional IT distributor are immense and, as they are the center of the supply chain the pressure on margins is huge. For margins to grow, significant cost cutting initiatives are being implemented by IT distributors across the sector. Additionally, heavy market concentration is taking shape in the form of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) that allow distributors to access new geographies or negotiate better price points.
These activities are essential solutions being employed to tackle extremely heavy operational costs, yet they present IT distributors with another set of challenges. Manual fulfillment processes are not only efficient but make it more difficult to uncover cost-saving opportunities. In addition, each new company acquired may come with its own internal set of systems and processes that adds additional layers of complexity.
Undertaking a complete overhaul of operational processes for companies with the distributors network will generally be too costly and time consuming. As such, IT distributors need a new solution to manage their existing business processes and ensure their core business activity remains profitable.
With CloudBlue, IT distributors can access a way to streamline and automate all their processes and eliminate manual tasks from their business. This helps to significantly cut operational costs, and accelerate fulfillment processes, ensuring IT distributors can reach efficiency targets.
Centralized process management helps to improve the efficiency of any mergers and/or acquisitions. CloudBlue allows IT distributors to manage a complex set of disparate business systems from one platform, greatly reducing the investment in time and operational costs required to incorporate new companies into the system.
With a supply chain management solution to hand, IT distributors can aim to transform the efficiency ratings of the core business, complete strategic company acquisitions successfully and achieve new growth in the cloud in tandem.
