The Problem
Sound familiar? These are the challenges holding W&D CFOs back.
Distribution finance has become significantly more complex. Legacy systems weren't designed for the demands of modern multi-channel, multi-location operations.
Month-end close takes 2–4 weeks
By the time your reports are ready, the data is already outdated. Decisions get made on yesterday's numbers.
Disconnected systems create risk
Separate finance, WMS, and logistics systems lead to manual reconciliation, data gaps, and integration costs.
No real-time inventory visibility
Inventory is your largest asset, yet you can't see its true value, landed cost, or profitability in real time.
Your system is limiting your growth
Adding new warehouses, channels, or markets requires workarounds — or an expensive system replacement.
Multi-location consolidation is painful
Manual consolidation across warehouses or entities takes days, is error-prone, and delays strategic decisions.
Profitability is hard to see clearly
True margin by customer, product or channel requires manual analysis. You're flying partially blind.
The Solution
Five capabilities that transform distribution finance
This guide walks through each of these in detail — with real examples from W&D businesses like yours.
Real-Time Financial Visibility
Close your books in days, not weeks. See cash, inventory and P&L updated with every transaction.
Inventory Financial Intelligence
Know the true landed cost, margin and turnover of every product. Identify slow-moving stock before it impacts your balance sheet.
Multi-Location Consolidation
Consolidate multiple warehouses or legal entities in minutes, not days. Real-time inter-company eliminations included.
Operations-to-Finance Integration
Every warehouse transaction is reflected in your financials instantly. No reconciliation. No lag. No surprises.
Scalability for Growth
Add warehouses, channels and geographies without system constraints. NetSuite scales with you — no costly replacements.
Real Results
W&D businesses are already making it work
The guide includes full case studies from two businesses that 3EN helped transform on NetSuite.
Selling into 48+ countries across B2B and eCommerce, Revive Active outgrew Sage 50. They needed real-time visibility across their Galway and Mullingar sites — and a platform that wouldn't become the bottleneck.
"For the first time, our teams in Galway and Mullingar are working from the same real-time data. It's given us the confidence to keep scaling without the system becoming the bottleneck." — Executive Leadership, Revive Active
