Tin Tức

<h2><span style="font-size:20px;">1. What causes distributors and agents not to order regularly from the brand?</span></h2><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">1.1. Complexity in the ordering process</span></h3><p>One of the main reasons distributors and agents do not place orders regularly is the complexity and cumbersomeness of the ordering process. When they have to go through multiple complicated steps, from checking inventory, creating purchase orders, to tracking the delivery process, agents can easily feel exhausted and lose motivation. This is especially true for smaller distributors, who often lack the manpower and time to manage such complex processes.</p><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">1.2. Lack of information and transparency</span></h3><p>A lack of information about products, promotions, or inventory status is also a factor that prevents agents and distributors from placing orders frequently. When they are not clear on this information, they may become concerned about their ability to meet market demand, leading to restricted ordering. Moreover, a lack of transparency in managing debts or unclear incentive policies can cause agents to lose trust and become unwilling to continue the partnership.</p><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">1.3. Debt and financial management issues</span></h3><p>Ineffective debt management can create significant financial pressure on both agents and distributors. When debts are not processed in a timely manner, they face difficulties in maintaining cash flow, which limits their ability to place new orders. Additionally, unclear payment terms or unreasonable credit policies can also reduce an agent’s motivation to order.</p><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">1.4. Limited access to brand support</span></h3><p>When facing issues related to products, services, or the ordering process, agents and distributors often need quick support from the brand. However, if the support process is complicated or response times are too slow, they may feel neglected, leading to reduced order frequency.</p><h3><span style="font-size:18px;">1.5. Lack of management tools and demand forecasting</span></h3><p>In today’s modern business environment, accurate management and demand forecasting are critical to the success of agents or distributors. Without effective tools, incorrect forecasting can lead to either shortages or overstock, which directly affects their ability to place regular orders.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://api.estuary.solutions/estuary-web-mediafile/file/807e0f4d-115b-43f0-926a-b95896364dca" alt="Web platform and Application of DealerX"><figcaption>Web platform and Application of DealerX</figcaption></figure><h2><span style="font-size:20px;">2.
