What to Expect When Implementing Wholesale Distribution Compliance Software

Introduction

Implementing wholesale distribution compliance software is no small feat, but it doesn’t have to be a difficult experience. By understanding the implementation process, you’ll feel confident and ready to make the switch and finally streamline state registrations, state reporting, distributor management and more.

Key considerations when implementing new compliance software 

What do you need to keep in mind before getting your three-tier compliance in order using a software solution? Here are some things to think about, based on what we’ve learned by helping 2,000+ clients get a handle on their brand registrations, state gallonage reporting and so many other facets of their business.

  • Buy-in from internal stakeholders: A team that fully understands how a software solution can reduce risk, centralize processes and help gain efficiency is a team that will help drive the project to the finish line.
  • Right timing for the business: Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. While there’s no just-right time to make changes in any business, choose a time that doesn’t conflict with your organizational objectives. Don’t compromise success by starting the process during a period where you don’t have resources to devote to getting set up. And keep your eyes on the prize: Many of our customers see time-saving benefits within the first month of their implementation.
  • A point person: Having someone available to work closely with your ShipCompliant implementation consultant will speed up the process and help you meet project milestones. This liaison can provide updates and insight into the implementation process, offering visibility to your organization.
