Inventory and sales analytics for wholesale distributors
Distribution margin hides in the details: slow-moving SKUs, customer-specific pricing, and branches that order differently. We build analytics that show where cash and margin actually sit.
Where reporting usually breaks down
Cash is tied up in slow stock
Dead and slow-moving inventory sits for months before anyone flags it.
Pricing exceptions erode margin
Customer-specific pricing and rep overrides add up without anyone seeing the total.
Customers drift away quietly
A customer who stops reordering rarely calls to say so.
Metrics we build dashboards around
A starting point. Every business gets its own mix.
Inventory
- Turns by SKU and category

Sales and customers
- Margin by customer, rep, and product line
- Reorder gaps

- Sales rep performance
- Branch comparisons

Common questions
Have a different question? Ask us directly.
Our ERP has reports. Why add BI?
ERP reports are built for transactions. BI is built for patterns, trends, and comparisons across branches, customers, and time.
We have several branches. Can we compare them?
Yes. Branch comparisons with consistent definitions are a core part of distribution builds.
Can you help with demand forecasting?
Yes, starting with historical patterns and seasonality. We’ll be honest about how much your data can support.
Start with a data audit
We’ll review your systems and current reports. You’ll leave with a clear plan for what to build first, whether we build it or not.
