Winter’s Challenges for Distributors
Winter’s arrival brings many potential issues that can disrupt even the most carefully crafted plans. Distributors may face:
- Weather-related Delays: Snow, ice, and severe weather conditions can impact shipping routes, resulting in inventory shortages or delayed deliveries.
- Staffing Issues: Illnesses tend to rise in winter, leading to potential workforce shortages that can slow operations.
- Supply Chain Vulnerabilities: Cold weather often exacerbates existing supply chain weaknesses, leading to longer lead times and increased costs.
- System Strain: Increased demand for certain products during the winter can put additional pressure on your ERP system, highlighting any inefficiencies or bottlenecks in your current setup.
