CEOs at most large multinationals say:
They know that emerging markets hold
the key to long-term success.
Yet:
Those same executives tell us that they
are vexed by the complexity emerging
markets.
They fail to seize key opportunities.

Criteria
Developed Markets – 36/160 1
“We want to be the best in the market.”
Emerging Markets – 124/160 1
“We want to reach the market.”
Stability Growth Politically and economically stable, saturated markets. Limited
growth potential.
Economically on the rise, politically often unstable. Large
populations; immense sales potential.
Structure Covered by an own subsidiary, representative or sales office. Covered by distributors or wholesalers; except for largest
markets with own setup.
Demand Pull-based, regular and easy supply. Smaller but frequent
product deliveries and sales.
Push-based, “non-predictable” irregular demand. Difficult to
ship bulk orders.
Focus Service levels, cost optimisation,
profit margins.
Basic supply chain challenges
getting products into the country; excessive stocks/write-
offs, stock outs and rush deliveries
trying to seize sales opportunities; often missed due to
lack of staff and market focus

5. THE PROBLEM WITH DISTRIBUTORS
(“WHOLESALERS”)
5
A distributor is an entity that buys, stores and re-sells products to retailers or customers or end-consumers in a
defined territory or country. Most distributors provide financial support to a supplier/manufacturer's promotional
efforts, local customer services, technical support, after-sales services, etc.
The qualities of a distributor are often unpredictable.
Depending on the product offering, country size, product development stage and competitive environment, a distributor may be:
Because this presentation focuses on emerging markets conquered with distributors, the term “Emerging Distributor
Markets (EDM)” will appear.
Consisting of a few individuals or
hundreds of employees
Fully IT developed or technologically
behind
A single, exclusive local agent (e.g., a market
maker with limited alternatives; or fully
dependent on supplier)
Non-exclusive (and possibly compete with
other distributors or also sell competitor
products)

How does S&OP function in developed markets?
• Full integration in regional, global, supplier or manufacturer S&OP cycles
• Internal and local S&OP managers follow clear processes
• Support by ERP system with S&OP-relevant data and executive dashboards
What are the issues…?
Limited innovation (if so, mainly by software vendors) and
same problems for many years like lack of management
support and missing financial integration
Increasing “competition” by financial forecasting – focused on
by sales and management board
The majority of S&OP-practising companies are stuck in S&OP
stage 2 of 4 1
… and the solution?
Bring S&OP to the next level, thus IBP with better inclusion of
finance and focus shift from supply chain aspects to market
demand.
7. S&OP IN EMERGING MARKETS: ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN
7
How does S&OP usually work in emerging markets?
• External distributors are not integrated into S&OP
• No distributor resources are assigned – sales manager of supplier creates a a forecast
• No ERP system with limited data visibility
What are the issues…?
Suppliers and distributors focus on sales – but they’re not the same
Conflicting product strategies – trade-off volume vs. margin, strategic sales vs.
street fighting
Limited resources for many markets with sudden orders and negative impact on
production
A focus on buffer and safety stocks all along the supply chain to avoid stock-outs
… and the “solution”?
Use S&OP as a “treasure hunt” strategy to get extra sales, helping to fill gaps in latest
estimates and budgets. Continue writing off massive products.

My logistics team asked me to
send them a file with
unconstrained demand.
Sure, just give me a better price!
What do you want me to
commit for next year?
I need 15% more compared to
this year’s budget – let the
logistics guys break it down to
units later.

Limited trust, lack of data
exchange, different
systems, conventional
communication
Non-recognisable order pattern in May, June and September leads to guessing what may be sold to the
distributor in the future – and what should be produced before:

Major demand bias (whip
effect) due to “planning
lottery” based on
previous sales
Stop-and-go deliveries
due to regularly exceeded
distributor credit limits
High local inventory levels
“just to be safe” which
leads to excessive frozen
capital
Better stay vague as they might sell
competitor products too.
I bought the products, they’re mine. What
do they care about my stocks and sales?
11. CASE STUDY – PROJECT STEPS TO SUCCESS
11
Re-structure distributors and product offering
Gain distributor trust, change language and “sell” Distributor S&OP
Re-build distributor markets: 1 area instead of 5 clusters, re-group distributors to region and strategic importance
Re-assess product portfolio: reduce offering and SKU variety, focus more on key products
Understand local sales patterns, service promises and inventory levels
Use distributor language: We’re here to ensure product availability when you order.
Talk about local sales and not forecast numbers
Give first, take later: e.g. provide distributor with cash flow exposure plans to avoid credit limit stops
Work on improving order patterns to/with the distributor: freight, reduced stock levels, increased turns, regular orders

Collect data, plan properly, then share the results back with the distributor; local sales & inventories are analysed, future
sales elaborated then order patterns agreed:
Enable full data flow and implement distributor S&OP following KISS principles
Share data regularly: easy start with Microsoft Excel ® then more professional afterwards with John Galt’s Forecast X ®;
to conclude use the innovative Daisy Distributor Planning & Information Platform to tightly monitor local sales, “softly
manage” local stocks and “committed purchases plans” – all in units and currency.
