To lead rather than follow, PHVAC distributors operating an equipment and spares business must automate inventory holding and business processes within their enterprise and across their supply chain. There’s also opportunity in expediting sales processes by maximizing product selection procedures, overcoming obstacles associated with special orders, and improving supply chain collaboration.
