As most are aware, there has been a concerted effort throughout 2019 to revamp and standardize Point of Sale (POS) formatting to benefit both the Distributor and Manufacturer alike.

This topic is near and dear to Seco because of the varying degree of data, detail and formatting that we currently receive from our Distributor network. We see the value in a standardized reporting structure and we’re sure you do too. No more custom-tailored reports for each of your suppliers!

The ISA taskforce assigned to this project is comprised of several distributors and manufacturers from various sectors of the MROP space. The first phase consists of an agreed upon excel format with future potential for automation via an online portal.

Please look for additional communications from Seco in the coming months that will provide further detail on our expectations and requirements for POS reporting in 2020.
