Meridian Business Services Partners with Crader Distributing Company for Visibility from Warehouse to Dealer

March 27, 2018 08:13 AM Eastern Daylight Time

OVERLAND PARK, Ks.—Crader Distributing Company (CDC) has selected NetSuite partner Meridian Business Services and DSI to increase the efficiency of their warehouse operations.

Founded in 1944, CDC is headquartered in Marble Hill, Missouri. CDC provides STIHL Outdoor Power Equipment (OPE) to over 1,300 OPE dealers throughout the Midwest, along with the company’s sister company Blue Mountain Equipment. As a family-owned business with a long history of providing superior customer service, CDC takes pride in the atmosphere of trust and mutual respect it enjoys with the businesses it supplies.

CDC sought a solution to increase visibility of their inventory across the organization, including visibility into inventory at dealer locations. CDC wanted a platform to replace multiple mobile apps they were previously using, ultimately putting everything on a single interface and creating a more consistent experience for both sales representatives in the field and CDC customers.

CDC found a solution with a cloud-based ERP, Netsuite, which will increase efficiency with warehouse processes. Many other operations will also be improved, including: whole goods picking, parts order picking, PO receipt, label utility, inventory putaway, item balance inquiry, location inquiry, inventory transfer, inventory adjustment and cycle count.
