Wings DMS

Without deploying DMS it is impossible to receive secondary sales data, and if received:

• would be in disparate formats and difficult to aggregate meaningfully
• would be unreliable as it could have been modified
• would be impossible to aggregate if standard SKU masters are not used by distributors
• would be without discipline of company-specified pricing
• would be without the assurance that promotions and schemes are passed on to retailers, the intended beneficiaries
• would be delayed and require an army to aggregate from Excel or emailed filed

How DMS works

• Data of all distributors automatically and instantly consolidated
