Why Use Computer Integrated Distribution
Utilizing the four components of CID allows orders to be automatically received from a customer, sourced from a remote site, and then shipped directly from the remote site to the customer. This processing provides several benefits, including:
· Increased responsiveness to customers.
· Tighter line between locations (better communication, reduction of errors).
· Reduced inventory or elimination of distribution warehouse(s).
· Reduced transaction paperwork.
· Reduced data entry errors.
