•Case Study: Ace Beverage Goes Mobile And Wireless To Eliminate Distributor Overtime
The Challenge Even though Ace Beverage Co., one of the ten largest beer distributors in California, was already using a pre-sales concept, it wanted to refine its abilities to track information on orders, build loads on time and manage driver and loading crew overtime. Most of the tracking issues involved deliveries to large chain grocery stores, where volumes are sizable and customer relationship management is one of the keys to increasing sales.
A major challenge of the pre-sales concept is gathering and sending data from the field to the distributor's warehouse by a fixed deadline.
"We tried to get all our orders in by 6 p.m. each night, and the trucks started rolling out of the warehouse about 5 a.m. the next morning," explained Mike Krohn, vice president of finance and administration at Ace Beverage, a major Anheuser-Busch distributor.
