Typical DMS:
Most prevalent DMS available in the market today are in the form of customized portals or web portals. Distributors have to work on customized web portal for each brand and maintain their data individually.This worked well few years back when one distributor worked for few brands. However, with growing competition, the concept of multi brand distributors has come up. These distributors work with numerous brands at a given time. It becomes cumbersome for distributors to learn how to use different customized portals for the different brands they are managing and hence increasing resistance to deploy a system.
