ISSA, in partnership with Sustainability Dashboard Tools, has begun phase two of the new Distributor Efficiency Analytics and Learning (DEAL) program. DEAL is a comprehensive program that incorporates learning, analytics, and awards to help distributors, wholesalers, and manufacturers benchmark their performance, streamline their operations, and realize significant savings in warehouse facility and transportation expenses. DEAL can help businesses reduce up to 30% of facility and fleet operating costs, according to the association.
“Reliable data gathering and analytics allows us to see the big picture,” said John Barrett, ISSA’s executive director. “This systematic process helps companies identify inefficiencies, create realistic targets for improvement, ascertain their competitive edge, and gain recognition for their environmental leadership. Through DEAL, companies can meet their customers’ growing requirements for supply-chain information, compare their performance to cleaning-industry and other distributors nationally, and receive ongoing, cost-effective consulting on efficient operations.”
