HOW B2B DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL AFFECTS FURNITURE MANUFACTURING The B2B distribution channel is vital for moving products from furniture manufacturers to wholesalers and retailers. However, this system has its own set of challenges that affect the entire process of furniture manufacturing.
01 • Communication and Coordination Problems • With multiple players in the distribution chain, communication and coordination can be problematic: • Lack of clear communication between manufacturers, suppliers, and retailers • Delays in order processing or wrong orders being shipped • Misunderstandings about specifications or personalization of products • Difficulty in tracking changes in order status • Poor customer service from intermediaries • Clear, constant communication between furniture makers, furniture suppliers, and retailers is essential to avoid these issues.
02 • Inflexible Supply Chains • Rigid supply chains can hinder a retailer's ability to quickly adapt to market changes or respond to customer needs: • Fixed production schedules that don't allow for flexibility • Suppliers who are unable to make quick adjustments to order changes • Delays in reordering or getting more stock when demand spikes • Difficulty in adjusting production based on changing trends • Inability to personalize products quickly for customer needs • Inflexible supply chains often result in missed opportunities or lost sales for wholesalers and retailers.
03 • Shipping and Delivery Complications • Furniture is large and often fragile, making the logistics of shipping a real challenge: • High shipping costs due to bulky furniture items • Damage to products during transport • Delays caused by long shipping times or customs issues • Managing returns due to damaged goods or wrong orders • Difficulty in finding reliable delivery services that handle large products • Shipping complications can increase the risk of customer dissatisfaction and impact the reputation of wholesalers and retailers in the furniture market.
