Building Supplies
Of the many drivers to your business possibly the most important of all is stock management to your customers.
Your building materials and supplies stocks are almost uniquely expensive to store and hold relative to their sales value. So for you, balancing stock holdings against customer service levels is likely to be a real challenge.
How can you reduce the working capital tied up in stock without constantly having to turn customers away because you’re out of stock?
Here’s how:
1) better management of procurement issues - streamlining your internal processes to produce JIT deliveries and purchasing at the most economic price, and
2) improved inventory control and forecasting.
Equally important nowadays are product segmentation and profitability, the ability to segment stocked products into transactional and profitable categories, and ever closer margin control, the ability to control and monitor margins at the earliest possible point in the sales cycle.
