ASSIGNMENT. With regard to marketing and distribution, the business is customer-oriented: therefore MPO Fentres has chosen to keep control of the entire supply chain, right through from the order to delivery to (and sometimes installation for) the customer. For both new and replacement windows, MPO Fentres markets, designs, manufactures and installs its own products, thus ensuring complete control of the order and keeping to a minimum the number of contacts for the customer. The company distributes its products through two distribution channels: a central department in charge of "key accounts" and "communities", and a network of eight agencies deployed in northeastern France, all owned by the company. These agencies are the cornerstone of the distribution network. Each agency employs fifteen salespersons, as the control of about 15% of its market area, and operates in a sales territory of approximately 45,000 customers. The company's salespeople actively seek potential clients, especially at trade fairs and exhibitions. These events are of paramount importance: they afford opportunities to expand the client base and win new contracts. Up to 25% of the annual turnover of an agency can be attributed to contacts made during these events. MPO Fentres Case 1 9 Dunod - Toute reproduction non autorise est un dlit.
