Regulated Materials Create Heavy Demands
Cut through the red tape with our time tested methods.
Tired of trying to make heads or tails out of what materials can legally get delivered to different states? Do constant revisions to state regulatory statutes make materials obsolete before you feel they should be? Do you have complete historical archiving of materials distributed for compliance audits? Some of the world's largest insurance companies have turned to Materialogic to solve these common problems and many other challenges associated with fulfilling state regulated literature and information. The INFOplus restrictions program manages orders based upon geography, user group association, quantity and time frames for ordering. The INFOplus kitting program manages core kits, state specific kits, and the priorities for inclusion of items. These capabilities, when combined with tracking production lots in the case of a recall based upon an error, a low stock management system, auto resupply, and the AUTOprint and FILEstore services create a turnkey solution that cuts the red tape and reduces manual intervention and obsolete materials. Our clients' agents, both captive and independent, receive materials quicker and in a ready to use format, simplifying their sales process and generating more revenue per agent.

Financial Accountability
Can your CFO sign off on the numbers? Not if you don't calculate taxes correctly. We can help.
The expanded requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley have made accurate financial reporting a critical function for all companies. A restatement of earnings and/or incorrect accrued liabilities must be avoided at all costs, as they can create instability among the investment community and sometimes lead to significant fluctuations in shareholder equity. Accountants realize the importance of fiduciary responsibilities and making sure the CFO can sign off on the numbers. That’s why one of the worlds largest accounting firms utilizes Materialogic services for the dissemination of stock and virtual information. The partners in the firm truly practice what they preach. The INFOplus system tracks all costs in the supply chain, including the cost of all materials distributed, so allocating expenses back to stock users or cost centers is easy. INFOplus also ensures that sales and use taxes to all jurisdictional levels are calculated correctly on materials distributed to employees, clients and the general public. Add to this the ability to compile the information needed for electronic reporting, audit tracking, and accrual of tax liability and you have a powerful solution to get the details right the first time.
Ecommerce Done Right
The Start Of Something Big Sometimes Begins Very Small!
Most businesses start small. Start-up eCommerce marketing companies certainly fall in this category. The lack of critical mass provides no economies of scale for purchasing and business plans built on projections rather than historical data can change quickly and require fast adjustments to the supply chain. Materialogic provides what they lack – size, speed and flexibility. An innovative startup distributor of nutritional and supplement products required assistance in the launch of its eCommerce business and turned to Materialogic for help. Materialogic met the challenge by delivering a complementary fulfillment and distribution technology tied into their already existing electronic store and shopping cart. By doing so, products were able to be offered through a large reseller network to maximize the velocity of market penetration while delivering an effective product distribution capability that could flex to meet their consumer demand. Scaleable solutions and integrated technology provide the foundation for their business to grow big over time, or grow big very quickly.
Maximize Your Distributors Potential
Manage Coop Funds Using Our Tool
One of the world’s largest manufacturing companies needed to ensure that building material product samples and marketing support collateral were procured properly, stored securely, and timely and accurately fulfilled to their network of over 2,000 distributors. Each distributor was allocated “co-op” funds for the acquisition of support materials and premium items. The company’s challenge - no more room internally to support the activities and internal legacy systems outdated for future needs. Their solution was to outsource the functions to Materialogic for improved service and additional functionality. A new procurement process was established, fulfillment and distribution activities were transitioned to the Midwest, and INFOplus was introduced to assist in managing the overall supply chain. Finally, a new custom software application program was written to move allocated funds into and out of the distributor accounts according to the business needs and performance of that distributor. Orders are automatically released or held based upon funds available and Sales Management receives activity based reporting on-line. The complete solution they were looking for - managing money, materials, and information.
