Many distribution companies have similar origin stories: strong salespeople with entrepreneurial mindsets take the plunge into industrial supply because they’re good at solving problems for customers. But then come the barriers. Running a distribution business requires dedicated business acumen, and many leaders find themselves bogged down with the day to day when they’d much rather be out on sales calls or visiting the plant floor of a key account.

That’s where solutions providers can save the day, and today we’re here to talk about how distributors can offload something as complex as the payments process in order to continue to focus on their core competencies.
