Distributors are constantly striving to improve their operations and increase their competitive edge. One way they can achieve this is by implementing technology solutions that streamline their operations and improve efficiency. In this blog post, we’ll explore how Infor’s CloudSuite Distribution (CSD) platform empowers distributors with its suite of advanced technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities. We’ll also discuss how Infor CloudSuite Distribution’s cloud technology fosters greater transparency in the distribution process. Lastly, we’ll review how NSA utilizes Infor CSD to help our distributor clients achieve their long-term goals for their distribution business.
Key Technologies Empowering Distributors:
AI, ML, and IoT are three of the key technologies that are driving the innovation behind Infor CSD. Each of these technologies provides distributors with unique advantages that help them to better manage their operations and make more informed decisions. We’ll discuss the specifics of each topic below.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI is a technology that enables machines to learn from data and perform tasks that would ordinarily require human intervention. In the distribution industry, AI can be used to analyze large volumes of data and provide insights into trends and patterns that are not immediately obvious to humans. This helps distributors to make more informed decisions about inventory management, supply chain optimization, and customer engagement.
- Machine Learning (ML): ML is a subset of AI that focuses on enabling machines to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. In the distribution industry, ML can be used to analyze data and predict trends, enabling distributors to optimize their operations and improve customer engagement. For example, ML algorithms can be used to analyze customer purchase histories and predict which products are likely to be popular in the future.
- Internet of Things (IoT): IoT is a technology that enables objects to communicate with each other over the Internet. In the distribution industry, IoT can be used to provide greater visibility into the supply chain, enable better tracking of inventory, and improve customer engagement. For example, sensors can be placed on pallets of merchandise to track the location of inventory as it moves through the supply chain.
