Managing a business might be really problematic, especially if you do not have enough workforce or experience. There are many kinds of business that are much harder to manage as compared to other businesses and the business of supplying items is one of them. This is because it is really hard to manage different orders placed by different business places. A supplier is actually a wholeseller who tends to supply various kinds of goods to the retail market and many retailers actually place orders to these suppliers. Being a supplier it is also very difficult to find a client. Moreover, the market is also very competitive most of the time. For example, the market is really competitive in my city when it comes to grocery items and suppliers often struggle a lot. So, how do you manage such kind of business? Any tips?
 
Let me take an example our neighbor who is a wholesaler or vegetables. He has several trucks that go to the farms to buy the harvest. He has a warehouse where they process the vegetables before dawn and to be delivered to the market early in the morning. The profit is good but it is not easy to manage. Besides, the capital is not small since you would need vehicles and a warehouse.
