Executive Summary

WarehouseTWO®, LLC § PO Box 7179 § Carmel, CA 93921 § www.warehousetwo.com § 650-329-1592

About WarehouseTWO® WarehouseTWO® (www.warehousetwo.com/) is an internet-based “inventory-sharing” software tool created for manufacturers and their networks of authorized wholesaler-distributors. WarehouseTWO members make their inventory data available to peer members by uploading it to the WarehouseTWO server. Members can then browse the inventory data to find items needed to fill their customers’ needs. Access to WarehouseTWO’s inventory data in each inventory-sharing “community” is restricted to the manufacturer and its authorized wholesaler-distributors of the products associated with each community.

Benefits of Inventory-Sharing Benefit How WarehouseTWO Does This 1 MORE

SALES! Every participating distributor in your sales channel will have access to more inventory of your products, increasing the likelihood of meeting his/her end-customers’ delivery needs.

2 Less work for factory customer service staff

Fewer expedite requests, when distributors can find needed items themselves; fewer phone calls for factory stock checks, when distributors can check factory stock “on-line”.

3 More efficient factory operations (external)

Reduction in small quantity manufacturing runs, when distributors can source small quantities of your products from other distributors.

4 More efficient factory operations (internal)

“Buy-Back versus Make” option: source a finished item from a distributor, rather than make another one from scratch.

5 Better brand reputation

End-customers will be happier, due to improved product availability for your products.

6 Less surplus inventory in your sales channel

One distributor’s unwanted inventory is another distributor’s unexpected “critical” backorder.
