Distribution is a margin game won in ERP - and sold in CRM

VMI programs, slotting fees, and freight tiers need operational truth; key accounts, pricing tiers, and rebates need commercial discipline. Agents enforce both.

Where the flow breaks

Operational pressure that does not fit inside one system.

Signals may begin in ERP or CRM, but the impact crosses inventory, customer, fulfillment, and cash.

ERP & operations pressure

Cross-dock and wave timing

Inbound and outbound must interlock - static cutoffs miss real dock conditions.

Lot trace for regulated categories

Alcohol, pharma-adjacent, and food need forward/backward recall in minutes.

Inter-branch transfers & landed cost

Moving stock to save a sale shifts margin - finance needs automatic true-up.

CRM & customer pressure

Key account pricing & deviated deals

Reps override lists; ERP cannot always enforce approval paths in time.

Route sales & merchandising promises

Field teams commit displays CRM cannot prove were executed - retailers claw back funds.

Claims, shortages, and chargebacks

Disputes live in email; neither CRM nor ERP owns the full evidence chain.
