Distribution Consulting: Planning, Data & Delivery
Consulting for distributors and wholesalers across forecasting, replenishment, supplier onboarding, data, technology selection and programme delivery.
FOR DISTRIBUTORS & WHOLESALERS
Consulting for the decisions that connect suppliers, inventory and customers.
EIG supports distributors and wholesalers with planning, supplier-data and technology-delivery challenges. We help connect commercial priorities with forecasting, replenishment, product information and operational responsibilities, including businesses serving independent retailers, franchise networks and centrally managed stores.

Connect replenishment with the operating constraints
An ordering recommendation needs to work within supplier lead times, pack sizes, availability and customer-service requirements. We help examine demand signals, planning parameters, exceptions and decision ownership across central teams and the locations they support. The output is a defined set of issues, evidence requirements and improvement actions, not an assumption that every problem requires new software.
Make supplier information usable before it enters the workflow
Supplier onboarding connects commercial agreements, product records, operational checks and system integrations. We help define required data, mappings, validation, ownership and exception handling, including the business requirements around EDI and supplier portals. The objective is a controlled handoff that teams can operate and test, rather than simply moving incomplete information into another system.

Evaluate systems and coordinate implementation
We support requirements definition, vendor evaluation and business-side delivery across planning, supplier collaboration and related retail systems. Project and programme governance brings dependencies, testing, adoption and benefits into one accountable work plan. EIG can support a defined workstream alongside your IT team, software supplier or systems integrator.

Practical AI, within a wider consulting capability
AI can support data preparation, analysis and operational decisions when the business context, controls and evaluation are clear. We help define where it is useful, what people remain accountable for and how performance should be assessed. You do not need an AI programme to work with EIG.
