Depth of Functionality
Activant's goal is to make its customers the standard in which all distribution organizations measure themselves against.
The Activant Distribution Suite is unique in that it combines the expertise and focus of a company dedicated to the distribution industry with the cutting-edge technology offered by world class technology organizations. Plus, Activant supplements all that with educational and support services that can be individualized to the user and made available on demand.
The Activant Wholesale Distribution Suite is scalable from small to large businesses and available as both Software as a Service (SaaS) and traditional deployment methods. That way, distributors of all sizes – from the two-person shop to the multi-national company – can compete on a level playing field taking advantage of all the functionality available.
Activant is developing features that streamline distributors' processes throughout their businesses. Distributors are trapped between the prices manufacturers charge for goods and their customers' demand that prices stay low. The only way to make both ends of the supply chain happy while still remaining profitable is by improving processes so employees spend less time on non-critical business functions and have more time to improve customer service, expand their geographic reach, and automate their internal processes to reduce costs.
