A Advantive Case Study
Security Lock Distributors, a major door safety hardware distributor, faced a significant challenge as its 25-year-old software system lacked critical functionality. The outdated system had no e-commerce capabilities, no Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), and no way to customize pricing, which hindered growth. To modernize their operations and become an industry leader, the company selected the Distribution One solution from Advantive.
Advantive implemented Distribution One, which integrated the company's website with its inventory management and sales order entry systems. This provided the e-commerce and EDI functionality that was desperately needed. The results were immediate and profound; order entry time was reduced from three minutes to just one, leading to incredible financial implications. The efficiency gains and new online capabilities allowed Security Lock Distributors to differentiate itself, grab market share, and grow exponentially, now realizing millions of dollars in revenue through its website.
