Why Partner with Oracle
The Oracle PartnerNetwork will empower your company with exceptional resources to distinguish your offerings from the competition, seize opportunities, and increase your sales.
Customer retention. Optimization. Profitability. Meeting these challenges keeps the wholesale distribution industry on the run. To succeed, distributors of any size must think big, so they can meet the diverse needs of customers while maximizing operational efficiency. Oracle solutions are helping distributors achieve their business goals.
With margins shrinking, availability demands increasing, and competition intensifying, many wholesale distributors are changing their business models so that they can respond more dynamically to a changing market. Successful wholesale distribution companies are gaining operational flexibility through configurable processes. They're increasing availability with demand-driven execution and tightening processes by using sensor-based inventory management. And they're getting more value from the value chain by integrating channels with self-service ordering and aggregated supplier sourcing. Oracle solutions can help wholesale distributors do all this—and more.
