With new distribution and supply channels extending across international boundaries, managing supply chains has never been so challenging.   Intense global competition means customers are increasingly demanding lower prices, faster turnarounds and higher service levels whilst expecting greater choice and customisations.  Supply Chain Management (SCM) offers organisations increased insight into operations, granting businesses the possibility to enhance customer satisfaction, boost profitability and take advantage of new opportunities for growth.

The solution, that provides supply chain management software capabilities based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV, tailors workflow processes to meet specific business needs, keeping pace with competitive markets and low margins.  This helps to reduce barriers to productivity and efficiency, enabling you to deliver what your customers need, when they need it.  The integrated distribution system empowers you to act more responsively to customer demand, track and monitor processes across your supply chain and reduce your inventory and distribution costs.

With the availability of tools to quickly respond to customer enquiries and trade with business partners, you can easily fuel productivity throughout your supply chain by developing production and procurement plans that are based on actual demand, lead times and manufacturing throughput rates.

With Supply Chain Management, you can speed up transactions, promote efficiency and lower costs across all of your supply chain, with the ability to quickly access overviews of business metrics:

With streamlined, integrated processes throughout the whole of the company’s operations – from sales or purchase order approval, to warehouse picking/packing/shipping instructions – you will be automating informational flow directly from one process to the next, with the completion of a task automatically triggering the next without any delay.

Sales and purchase document approval speeds order processing and helps make sure the right people are making approvals with email notifications for quotes, sales and purchase orders, invoices and other important documents.

With comprehensive inventory management software capabilities, the solution features tracking of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods.  This helps you maintain operations on track and achieve clear visibility into inventory turn rates, costs, expiry dates, slow-moving stock and the profitability of individual items or product lines.

Your people can easily search for, access and compare information – regardless of where it is generated or used – thanks to complete integration between the solution’s supply chain applications and other customer, manufacturing, inventory and financial functionality.

Speeding the flow of goods across your operations, SCM allows for finely tuned replenishment of goods and more informed production planning decisions, based on detailed information about inventory levels and profitability:

With a familiar interface and a design based on business roles, team members across the supply chain can quickly find the tools and information they need the most, with capabilities to control integration of customer demand with inventory management, purchasing and product delivery.

With access to vendor communications, agreements and commitments, your employees can work to improve relationships with vendors and trading partners and monitor business value of vendors and partner engagements to be able to implement appropriate course corrections.

Reporting and analytical tools can help your sales associates set realistic customer expectations and provide them with the information they need to make informed buying decisions and ensure satisfaction while managing costs.

You can significantly reduce data entry, save hours of time and focus the attention of your people on higher-value activities through tightened distribution processes that help you replace bottlenecks and inefficiencies and move towards more demand-driven operations.
