About Multi Bier

Wholesale + (special) beer = Multi Bier

 

As wholesaler, Multi Bier aims to offer the widest possible exclusive range of specialty beers. And that offer must continuously respond to the needs of customers, the market and the season.  As an importer and distributor of national and international brands, in addition to the broad and exclusive offer, Multi Bier's distribution network and digital offering is an enormous added value compared to the competition.

Uitdaging

Multi Bier is experiencing tremendous growth. The popularity of specialty beers has been rising for years, and the corona has caused home consumption to skyrocket as well. This growth cries out for an accelerated digital transition. The traditional wholesale construction with large sales departments, order managers, planners must give room for digital solutions. The workload due to the rapid increase is not sustainable, digital solutions do offer this flexibility. Sales and order managers get room to expand the customers by supporting them with market information and marketing actions.

The distribution network that Multi Bier has built up over the years is also under pressure. Higher costs due to rising gasoline prices are putting pressure on margins. How are we going to make efficiency within the distribution network. When do we deliver where? How do we avoid half transports? How do we feed our customers? Etc.
