Revenue & Efficiency Stabilization Achieved.
Want to buy, track and deliver items efficiently? Get distribution inventory management software from Blue Ridge. With automated tasks, your business can get products into the hands of customers sooner.
Solve key inventory challenges distributors face in today’s uncertain supply chain unpredictability such as seasonality, moving intermittent and slow-moving items, and increasing revenue and efficiency.
Optimize inventory levels for profit and desired service levels by adapting to market trends and alerting users to suggested purchase order quantities, transfer orders, and demand shifts with reliable and timely data from a proven supply chain planning solution.
Automotive Aftermarket
Forecasting demand for automotive parts is like chasing a moving target. Seasonal, fast- and slow-moving items such as vintage auto parts, regional uniqueness, and competitive online threats are accepted ‘necessary evils’. Reverse this.
HVACR and Plumbing
You’re in the business of making people’s homes and workplaces comfortable and efficient. But what about your own business? Feeling the heat of new competitors, rising commodity costs, seasonality and large assortments?
Furniture
Minimize the impact of long and variable lead times related to imported furniture. Proactively understand the cost trade-offs of inventory on-hand. Use insights to optimize promotions, quoting, discounts, forward buys ahead of a cost increase, and more.
Foodservice & Food Distribution
Are perishable items and safety stock feasting on your margins? Fill hungry bellies, not shelves — with specialized features including Fresh Product Forecasting and Seasonal Product forecasting, Intra-Day Replenishment and Shelf-Life Management.
Wine & Spirits
Your business thrives on people coming together to celebrate. But the complexity of forecasting seasonality, lead times, political buys and promotions is nothing to celebrate. Get the insights to improve product availability, sales and revenue with less risk.
Hardware
Demand trends can change in an instant, when macro-trends such as a hurricane or pandemic hit. Plan for chaos and balance inventory profitably for seasonal items, like snow shovels and camping equipment – versus stockpiling and markdowns.
Electrical & Industrial
Right-size inventory levels for slow-moving and intermittent-demand products such as incandescent light bulbs that take up costly space on shelves, but are essential to key customers. Use pricing strategically to shape demand and grow margin on high-selling products across broad assortments.
Pet Food & Supplies
Keep high-turn essentials like dog food and kitty litter in stock. Avoid sales loss to an online competitor. Allocate and move inventory between locations with speed and efficiency. Integrate inventory data into the pricing strategy to shape demand.

Benefits of Inventory Management for Distribution Companies
Optimizing your inventory management gives your business the following:
Streamlined Demand Planning
Efficiently predict what you will need in the future. Confirm inventory levels to ensure all necessary parts are available so your team can prevent production delays.
Improved Customer Service
Receive real-time visibility into your inventory levels so your product information is up-to-date on your website. Boost your brand loyalty and credibility when customers place an order and the products are available to ship quickly.
Better Quality Control
Track product movements so your quality control and compliance departments can carry out their tasks more efficiently. Use the digital information to find damaged components or products if a recall occurs.
Increased Efficiency
Eliminate the need for paperwork with modern inventory systems available on mobile devices. Check inventory levels and locate the products quickly to avoid delays in the shipping process.
