February 6, 2013 Leave a comment

It happens all the time in wholesale distribution.  Items get discontinued and replaced with new items, resulting in the creation of new item numbers in your master price book.

How do you make sure that a sales rep orders the correct (new) item and avoids a hole on the shelf?

Are Your Retailers Ready For The Super Bowl?

January 25, 2013 Leave a comment

At Ai2, we serve a variety of industries with our sales force automation solutions.  Some of our clients are in convenience store or foodservice, and some work in wine/spirits distribution.

What do those three industries have in common?  Well, around this time of year the Super Bowl creates a big demand for:

  • Food (we hit the wing platter harder than Ray Lewis hits running backs)
  • Packaged Snack Food (chips and guac or it isn’t a Super Bowl party)
  • Beer, Wine and Spirits (speaks for itself)

Food – The recent “chicken wing shortage” turned out to be a mere rumor, and everyone from Baltimore to San Francisco can breathe easy.  But what if, as a foodservice distributor, you DID have a shortage, you ran out or there was a recall?  Our iPad solutions for sales allow you to message the entire field sales force and sync real-time with your ERP so you know how much is on hand.

Packaged Snack Food - A lot of C-store distributors and manufacturers participate in pre-booked orders and manufacturer rebate programs.  Retailers need real-time access to the data that will get them cash rewards, and we can help your salespeople provide it.

Wine and Spirits – Americans consume 111 million gallons of beer on Super Bowl Sunday.    A distributor needs to make sure that deal and promotional pricing can be calculated in the store for accurate ordering and discounts.  We can help field sales representatives get the order right for a big day like Super Sunday, Thanksgiving, 4th of July or any holiday that’s celebrated with a hearty toast.

We hope you’re ready for the business bump that the Super Bowl provides.  If you’re a distributor who’d like to improve your sales process, give us a shout.

Enjoy the game everyone!

Eliminate Distribution Voids Forever – Convenience and Grocery Distribution Webinar

November 13, 2012 Leave a comment

ipad app for sales and rebate trackingTomorrow, November 14 at 12 pm Central Time, we’re giving a short online presentation about eliminating distribution voids in the convenience store and grocery distribution industry.

Our VP of Sales Ray Walsh will present the solution that allows distributors to take the data they already send to MSA and distribute it to their field sales representatives.  Once your field reps have it, they’ll know what top-ten items are missing from a customer’s store and track customer progress in manufacturer rebate programs.

The ROI is sweeter than anything a candy distributor sells.

Anyone who’s in C-Store or grocery wholesale should take a look at this session.   It’s only 30 minutes long.   Register here.
