4. Challenges to adoptinga Distribution Managementsystem As rightly said, India is a land of villages, and there are numerous challenges faced. The distribution channel is embedded down to the country's remote places, and not only in themetros.

5. 01 02 Inadequatecapital Insufficient skilledresources As the Distributor channel is spread across remote places, it is highly challenging to employ people equipped with mastering and running the system software. Many times distributors face the challenges of inadequate capital. In such conditions, many distribution repel the automated system's application, as it requires investment. 03 Disconnected technical infrastructure With a lack of operational comprehension, unavailability of technical facilities, these form significant barriers to allow distributors to automate their systems with technology 04 Multi-branddistributors Many distributor have to operate many different brands as they have a conglomerate of brands under a single roof. Processing and managing other brands' data under their various portals is challenging due to time and labor constraints. #LetsWinTogether

6. Reluctant towardsmodernization Most of the distributors follow the traditional approach to their business. They still practice the age-old format and rules followed by their forefathers as they believe that it is difficult to manage and operate automated new generation software. It is challenging to alter their opinions as they can sometimes be strong-headed. 05 #LetsWinTogether

7. Problems Faced by Companies InventoryManagement Earlier distributors were unable to manage their inventory property. They were facing problems regarding how much quantity of a specific product is left or if a product is out of stock etc. You can say proper visibility of the inventory was not present. Lack of real-time and actionable marketdata The companies were only able to see what was happening at the retailer's end; they were not able to see what was happening at the distributor's end. #LetsWinTogether

8. Misappropriation ofSchemes Companies were always coming up with new schemes for retailers and distributors but sometimes the distributors do not take forward the schemes they have got from the companies to the retailers. So this was a major drawback. ClaimsManagement Whenever you are delivering certain products in huge quantities there are chances that some products which you will be receiving (as a retailer or as a distributor) will be damaged. So earlier you were not able to make a proper claim for damaged goods. No effective insights from Unstructureddata If we are maintaining all the data with the help of pen and paper then it's quite obvious that the data will be unstructured and the chances of human error will be more. TediousPaperwork If we do not have an online solution then we have to do all the work with pen and paper, which increases the chances of errors and the rate of human hours spending also increases. #LetsWinTogether
