Inventory turns, margin compression, and an operating model rebuilt around fewer SKUs and tighter cash.
Distributors live between manufacturers and end customers, with thin gross margins and an inventory position that can turn an EBITDA quarter into a working capital crisis. Add roll-ups, branch consolidation, and pricing systems that haven’t been re-architected in a decade — and the finance function struggles to keep up with the operating reality.
