The distribution market evolves on a near-constant basis. If you work in the distribution business, you already understand the importance of flexibility and rising to meet demands in an evolving landscape. However, this past year has thrown even more challenges than usual into the market. Several factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic, have shaped the market this year.
At eoStar, our team includes data scientists, customer service experts, software engineers, and more, all of whom are focused on helping our clients with today’s market challenges. Below are some of the things that we do daily to keep our clients ahead of the curve.
Today’s Biggest Market Challenges
First, we thoroughly study the biggest market challenges. We review the data on a regular basis, and we talk to our clients to hear their biggest concerns.
For example, many of our clients have mentioned inventory concerns. Today’s unstable market has resulted in some product shortages, and our clients want to know what they should substitute for these shortages. eoStar clients also want access to data while in the field so that they can anticipate market challenges without being caught off-guard.
The first step to addressing any challenge is to understand that challenge, so we’ve invested ourselves in research and communication. By using all of the information that we’ve gathered, we’ve also created specific interventions to help our clients meet these challenges head-on.
How eoStar Can Help
In general, we help our clients overcome market uncertainties through our flexibility, innovation, and consistent support. But what have we done specifically to assist clients with their current concerns?
First, we addressed their inventory concerns. To help our clients avoid guesswork in case of product shortages, we’ve built substitution rules into our software. Users can input product substitutions. When the preferred product is out of stock, eoStar will automatically fill in the substitution that the client has selected.
Next, to address data concerns, eoTouch lets clients access the information that they need. That information includes historical sales data, product information, and other data regarding customer buying habits. This way, eoStar users can be salespeople and not just order-takers when working with their own customers.
Finally, eoMarket gives customers the ability to utilize e-commerce tools. They can order products when they need them and at their own convenience.
Putting Our Clients First
The bottom line is that at eoStar, we’ve always put our clients first, and we always will. The most important part of our service is working closely with our clients to make sure that they get exactly what they need. Our goal is to be the reason why our clients always have the tools they need for success.
