Posted by Aaron Zahedani on Wed, Oct 02, 2013 @ 07:00 AM

You are in the business of distribution, which makes you the master of time management! Not only that, you are more than likely able to juggle the many unpredictable elements that go into making your company a success.

What is involved, in simple terms?

It’s all about consumer demand
Holding the right amount of inventory
Anticipating of the needs of your customers

But your customers are not necessarily so precise when it comes to paying their invoices, many government and commercial customers asking for 30 to 60 days to make payment on an invoice.

Posted by Aaron Zahedani on Wed, Sep 25, 2013 @ 07:45 AM

Customers making late payments
Suppliers wanting to be paid more quickly
Large customers extending terms of payment
