Supply chain management can get tricky sometimes and therefore there is a need for an efficient tool for the manufacturing companies which can help them manage the supply chain seamlessly. In this blog post, we will be discussing how manufacturing companies can leverage ZOHO features for a positive impact on the business.
Inventory Management
As a manufacturing company, it becomes imperative for your business to keep a track of inventory at all the nodes of the supply chain. This will help you to prevent leakage and ensure that you are not losing any sales due to a lack of inventory at any point in the supply chain. ZOHO helps you to keep managing your inventory from the top to the bottom of the supply chain and thereby preventing leakage and loss of sales.
Order Management
You must be getting orders for your products from various regions and through various channels. Moreover, managing these orders through conventional methods can result in various mistakes and this keeps on increasing as the number of orders increases. ZOHO allows you to effectively manage all your orders at various distributors and warehouse levels. Moreover, the data that you will get from this order management will help you analyze the demands for your products in various regions.
Distributor Management
As a manufacturing company, you must be having various distributors across various regions. ZOHO will help you to make your distributors’ job very easy by automating and optimizing various processes carried out by the distributors. Through ZOHO, the distributors can easily manage primary and secondary orders. Moreover, with the seamless inventory management tool, the distributors need not worry about managing the inventory manually.

Moreover, the sales team can leverage ZOHO for effective lead management as well.
