Professional Trade Supplies distributors have challenges that differ from other CloudSuite Distribution Enterprise micro-verticals. Usually with a large catalog of parts for sale that are either stocked or part of an extended catalog, multiple supply chains incorporating drop-ship from suppliers, central and regional distribution centers, and often a branch network, all supported by multiple sales channels like EDI, central accounts teams, telephone sales, and over-the-counter, which all have slight process variations that must be supported.
