It’s hard enough doing a month end close when you have to rely on spreadsheets and other manual reconciliation processes, yet it’s even harder to make sure you’re getting all your discounts, that your inventory receipts tie to vendor billings and inventory isn’t walking out the back door. Life as a distribution controller means staying on top of the details.

When you work with SBS Group, you work with folks who not only understand the details but can quickly connect with you. They understand your industry, your role, and the requirements you need to address. We speak to you in your business language which eases communication and allows more work to get done faster.

The tools we provide enable you to confidently report results, answer queries quickly, and do so with less stress. With integrated solutions that incorporate warehouse management, EDI, and other technologies, we can help you stay on top of the details without spreadsheet overload.

New technologies often mean interfacing with IT. That’s another area where controllers rely on SBS Group to help. Our single source approach allows you to deal with one technology partner who can deliver not only the business side but the technical side as well.

Comfortable with the debits and credits, many controllers get frustrated when having to interact in a acronym-based world like IT. The back end isn’t their forte. SBS Group’s Network Team works with your IT team to get the systems configured properly to maximize our time and value. It also means less finger pointing, and unnecessary meetings.

As a controller, you don’t have a lot of extra time on your hands. So SBS Group helps by having flexible training programs, realistic schedules, and the ability to work in short blocks of time. Our goal is to get you home well before the late night drive thru closes!
