%ogistics can be defined as a set of organi@ations engaged in the delivery of product or a service
to the customer or the end user. ?rgani@ations in %ogistics include suppliers, intermediaries,
transportation and logistics providers and customers. good %ogistics management also re'uires
the coordination and collaboration of all the organi@ations in a %ogistics.1 )ere we focus only on
+istributors which are one of the intermediaries in %ogistics. $edington India %td is an :nd to

products, which they collect directly from the vendors and distributes to other intermediaries all
over India. ?ther than these distributors, intermediaries also include wholesalers and retailers
which all play an active role in %ogistics and thus provide the customers, the right product or
service at the right time, in right 'uantity and in most cost effective manner. )ence most of the
companies now are focusing on %ogistics in which concentration is given more on distribution of
products either by themselves or by other distributing companies so as to increase the reach of
their product to the entire market available. In the past, companies were more products focused
than customer. *here were no competitions in the market as such. Ehatever products were
available in the market, people had no choice but to buy.

includes value/added resellers, system integrators, sub distributors and retailers. *he current

s far as service part is concerned few enterprise solution are there whose certified it
-rofessionals are not available in -une. For example if there any problem occurs in
enterprise solution of Fijutsu. 7o certified it -rofessional is available in -une market.
nd if proper treatment is not provided to that problem then there might be a chance that
$edington can lose it name, with that channel partner..
;! Re)ations%ip:
etween the two is considered to be a core of the business and especially when itDs a
distribution business and if that relationship is not maintained then obviously both parties
finds it difficult to grow. *here were many channel partners who are registered with
$edington but they are not providing any business to $edington because we are not able
to maintain good relationship with.

*here is no market concentration in -une. Most of the dealers were spread across
entire -une.
My product is in enterprise class !A so it is difficult to find partners who are
dealing in enterprise class before going to them.
!ample population was 182. +etails were collected from only 56 dealers0 others
were either unavailable or not willing to disclose their details.
*he data provide by $edington was not an updated one. Most of the dealers had
either shifted their officesGshops or changed their contact numbers.
It was very difficult to cover these many dealers within a short period of time.
*hough 7etpp is old player in the market but the product awareness is less as
compared to other storage solution company like )-, :M#, IM etc., and these
company are holding major share in the market so itDs 'uite difficult to convince
the channel partner to go for 7etpp products.
-une market is 'uite margin oriented market so it is 'uite difficult to make them
focused partner for 7etpp.
