ABSTRACT

Entrepreneurship has assumed high degree of importance for promoting economic growth and progress in both developed and developing economies. It is a pathway to prosperity, transformation and overall economic growth and development. The effectiveness of entrepreneurship activities very much depends on the efficiency of the entire chain of product distribution systems available in any entrepreneurial environment. Product Distribution System (PDS) ensures that products are transferred from the manufacturer to the consumer through an established electronic system. Unfortunately, most organizations today still rely on manual system with attendant short comings, such as delays, physical damage to products, poor records management. The primary aim of this paper therefore, is how digitalization could be adopted to improve efficiency in products distribution operations such as reduction in inaccuracies arising from human errors, monitoring of supply of goods and services, reduction in maintenance cost and increase in profit. The study will aim to develop an automated inventory control system that could replace the current physical system of managing distribution information with a view to facilitate deliveries, provide higher level security as the system is Pass-Worded to prevent unauthorized access. The application will take care of all supply and orders, aimed at reducing cost for warehousing, transportation and improving customer services. This paper is aimed at computerizing of all product distribution system of manufacturing and wholesale enterprises.
