Wholesale companies supplying products or components to retail businesses have the same challenges as industrial firms that sell to non-retail. Market demand is the primary driver in these industries, and textile, clothing, durable goods, chemical and other of these types of companies are headed right between a rock and a hard place. If they stock enough to cover projected sales and their projections are too high, they’re looking at excess inventory that’s costly to store and obsolescence of that inventory they’ll have to write off. On the other hand, shortages mean lost revenue. They can’t sell what they don’t have available. 
From raw materials to finished goods
PLC utilizes its services and positions itself as a
labor-driven optimization company that helps
industrial firms track raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods from production through distribution to become more lean and efficient.
Our WIN System supply chain execution solutions
also are designed to help wholesalers gain visibility to inbound inventory from suppliers, more effectively manage the distribution center (using cross-docking, merge-in-transit and activity-based costing) and ship more efficiently to customers by improving load consolidation, routing and fleet management.
It’s all in the process
The common thread running through the solutions we’ve designed for this industry is continuous process orientation. There’s nothing more frustrating or costly than “hurry up and wait” situations. We smooth things out by offering visibility and control over both production and distribution so our customers can base production on actual store-level demand, attain visibility across the supply
chain, and establish an integrated transportation network that delivers what their customers want when they want it.
