What wholesale and distribution teams need from a CRM
Account and territory management
Organize thousands of accounts by rep and territory so every buyer has a clear owner and cadence.
Reorder prompts
Surface accounts due for a reorder based on their buying pattern so reps act before the buyer runs low.
Wallet-share growth
Track which SKUs each account buys and prompt the cross-sell that grows share of wallet.
Rook flags at-risk accounts
Rook nurtures accounts and flags buyers trending down so reps save the relationship early.
The account-retention problem
With thousands of accounts, the ones quietly buying less slip past unnoticed until they are gone. Reorders get missed, cross-sell never happens, and a competitor picks up the slack.
- Declining accounts noticed too late
- Reorders missed without prompts
- Cross-sell opportunities untracked
