Bi-Lo
Distributors
Consumer Goods Distributor Attracts Customers, Boosts
Revenue, Saves 67 Percent of Staff Costs
To reduce costs and attract larger customers, Bi-Lo
Distributors needed a business system that would support
electronic data interchange (EDI); make ordering and
shipping more productive; enable users to obtain up-to-date
data whenever they needed it; and boost forecasting in order
to optimize inventory. Bi-Lo now has that solution:
Microsoft Business Solutions–Navision with Retail Supplier
Link. The solution
has increased productivity so that the company can redeploy
33 percent of its order entry staff and 67 percent of its
accounts payable staff. With users accessing reports
directly in real time, an IT employee freed up 50 percent of
the time formerly spent on running reports. Even better, the
solution has enabled Bi-Lo to attract and retain national
retail customers, thus increasing revenue.
