What Customer Management Software does for a plumbing supplies dealer
Customer management software tracks repeat customers, their purchase history, contact details and preferences in one central database. For a plumbing supplies dealer, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
Plumbing supplies dealers track inventory by product size, plumber credit and supplier relationships. Plumbing supplies margins vary by product but bulk plumber orders drive profit.
