Industry Initiative Aims to Reduce Costs for Flooring Distributors
Chicago, Ill. -- The North American Association of Floor Covering Distributors (NAFCD) announced that it is partnering with the Floor Covering Business to Business Association (fcB2B) in an effort to increase the number of flooring distributors sending and receiving electronic purchase orders, invoices, and product catalogs from their suppliers and their retail customer base. The use of this technology could make the whole supply chain more efficient and will ultimately lower costs for flooring distributors who take advantage of the tools.
"Distributors large and small can take advantage of the cost benefits B2B technology offers," said Phil Zolan, fcB2B executive director. "It saves distributors money as research has found that on average it costs over $12 to process a manual flooring purchase order, but the same order costs less than $4 done B2B."
