Do You Need to Use Distribution KPIs?
In today’s organizations, there’s a lot to measure. Sales, costs, margins, cash flow, asset utilization – these are all critical indicators of your company’s overall health. In fact, they’re so important that your company probably already has KPIs to help you keep on top of them.
Distribution KPIs are a little different.
Of course, like businesses in all industries, wholesale distribution businesses (i.e. anyone who sells physical products) need to keep an eye on their finances. That means financial KPIs are part of the total distribution KPI lineup… but only part.
KPIs for wholesale distributors also measure operational activities, such as transportation schedules, inventory, on time delivery, backorders, customer service, and more.
If you distribute goods, these KPIs along with ones tailored for your exact needs, form the critical metrics that will help you grow your business. If you’re a distributor in today’s commercial landscape, you need the KPIs that are specifically geared toward you.
