From Start to Store

Operations at Distribution Solutions.

Along with dependable service and mastery of their day-to-day responsibilities, our Operations team values diligent planning, preparation, and careful execution as a pathway to growth.

Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

– Will Rogers

We know that an Operations department isn’t typically full of spotlight seekers. The adjectives “reliable” and “accurate” are key qualities that might spring to mind. Our team is, indeed, focused on keeping things running smoothly, which requires epic levels of detail management. They also possess an uncanny ability to anticipate situations that will require immediate attention or will be important to address six months down the line.

The Operations team deals in the past, present, and future in a quiet, pragmatic manner that creates the foundation for our business dealings.

So it’s tempting to take them for granted. And while we here at Distribution Solutions are reminded on a daily basis of what wonders these humans are, we are totally OK with our partners relaxing and putting their trust in our Operations Team, so that they can deal with the rest of their business.

That’s the true magic of Turnkey Operations, after all.

We have a robust menu of Operations services that address the whole gamut of needs for physical and digital distribution. Our label partners benefit from whatever customized level of service they require to support their titles. And we offer a lot!

A complete list is available on our website, but here are some of the greatest hits:

  • Asset Ingestion & Management
  • BOM Build/Changes
  • Component Creation
  • Credit and Collections
  • Demand Management
  • Inventory Management
  • Order Management
  • Procurement
  • Replication
  • Return Management
  • Rights Management
  • SKU Creation
  • VMI Services

Our Operations team members are located across the country (in key time zones) and work together every step of the way, to ensure cost-efficient and seamlessly executed product releases. Their hard work allows our partners’ titles to move easily from start to store, turnkey.

Hello!

Distribution Solutions is excited to launch our new weekly newsletter, as we put the (pardon the slightly overused phrase) “dumpster fire” that was 2020 behind us and approach this new year with joyful enthusiasm.

Among our business goals for the new year is a commitment to shining a light on our capabilities and how we help create success for our partners. And what better way to do this than a ‘show & tell’ format!

Stay tuned for our brand-new weekly blog, containing what we like to think of as bite-sized case studies that will give readers a sense of our reach, expertise, and value in the industry.

If you’d like to know more about any topic or would like to set up a meeting with us, please email PR@aent.com.

We wish you a Happy New Year!
