According to Mike Emerson, distributors can’t afford to design sales compensation plans in a vacuum. Instead, compensation plans should be part of a broader strategic process geared toward aligning compensation with the economics of the business itself. While most distributors understand this in theory, it is complicated by the changing nature of how and where we sell. Distributors’ opportunities to influence prospects and turn them into customers have multiplied but have also grown more complex. Many distributors are exploring new or refined sales approaches in this brave new world. It makes it an ideal time to look at compensation structures that attractively compensate our evolving sales teams, but that also fit within the bounds of risk, reward and overall costs. This whitepaper looks at the challenges and solutions in sales compensation for distributors today: https://lnkd.in/gS2rnGMN Thanks to our sponsors: White Cup and SAP  #salesmanagement #salescompensation 

Operations managers: Do you know which items to make or buy today to maximize product availability at the lowest cost? An optimal decision takes the following factors into account: - Purchase to Stock - Purchase To Order - Manufactured to Stock, and  - Manufactured To Order Watch the video below to see how Montera Inc.'s Roadrunner Rx Inventory Management Service does this for you, day in and day out. Roadrunner Rx software calculates both What to Make and What to Buy requirements using an algorithm that factors in your actual consumption and confirmed demand. It sends this information directly to your #ERP system for you to act on. In addition, Roadrunner Rx automatically identifies current stock shortages to ensure your product availability. Once the suggested quantity is greater than the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ), the suggestion to make or buy gets created. This quantity to be purchased or manufactured is shown in the Buy This or Make This columns on the What to Buy or What to Make screens of your dashboard, and delivered directly to your ERP.

Unlocking Supply Chain Excellence in Aftermarket Planning: Uniqueness and Strategies Spare Parts planning presents distinctive challenges, with over 95% of SKUs falling into the so called "long tail"—characterized by being slow, intermittent, and erratic—while still making a significant contribution to revenue. Therefore, the key focus in spares planning is effectively managing this "long-tail," necessitating a shift beyond forecasting to optimize service levels and inventory. While some businesses milk, diesel, cement, tires, CPG, or FMCG can be solely managed through forecasting and demand management push cycles, addressing the planning needs of "long-tail items" requires a thorough understanding of demand/supply variabilities, frequencies, and service level factors. Dynamic adjustment of safety stocks is crucial for achieving target service levels without overcommitting to inventory. Adding to the complexity, none of the conventional algorithms used by Data Scientists can provide satisfactory outcomes. ToolsGroup customers achieve exceptional results, boasting 99% plus service levels, reducing lost sales by 20-50%, and simultaneously cutting inventory by 15-22%. This success is attributed to the unique inventory mix optimization, primarily driven by our proprietary probabilistic algorithms.
