Office and Workplace Goods
This group is composed of three vertical industries that serve the individual at work, whether in an office, in the field, or wherever their job dictates.
Office Furniture, Equipment, and Supplies
This industry is a very large sector with many models of delivery. Some customers are on contract, so pricing can be balanced for a particular product set to offset a low margin across the board. e-Commerce is a hot trend enabling customers to order more often in smaller shipments. Many of these suppliers offer delivery services and maintain their own trucks.
Sage MAS 90, MAS 200, and MAS 500 distribution and manufacturing solutions provide the ideal solution to manage the internal and external requirements of this industry.
Paper and Allied Products
This industry is capital equipment intensive, therefore requiring good asset management tools. Also of special consideration, the emissions from paper mills are toxic and require a specialized, regulated disposal process. Non-standard units of measure can be an issue for most ERP systems since products are measured in rolls and square footage.
Printing and Publishing
This industry is very dependant on the overall activity level of businesses. Because of the low barrier of entry, many small printers exists that can compete with the large ones.
