Supply chain and ERP solutions for manufacturing, retail and logistics
The tools are similar across industries, but the pressure points are not. Here is where we usually find the problems in each, and what we do about them.
Manufacturing
In manufacturing, a wrong bill of materials or an outdated lead time ripples straight into missed production dates and emergency purchases.
Common problems
- Raw material shortages discovered on the day of production
- Bills of materials and routings that no longer match the shop floor
- Little visibility of work in progress and finished goods
- Material planning run in spreadsheets outside the ERP
How we help
We clean up material masters and bills of materials, set up material requirements planning and production orders in your ERP, and connect purchasing to the production plan. See ERP Solutions and Supply Chain.
Retail
Retailers carry many items across many locations, so small errors in stock or replenishment quickly add up to empty shelves in one store and excess in another.
Common problems
- Stock levels per store that cannot be trusted
- Replenishment based on habit instead of sales data
- Point-of-sale and ERP figures that never match
- Returns and transfers between stores that are not recorded properly
How we help
We set up replenishment rules from real sales data, connect point of sale and e-commerce to the ERP, and build store-level stock and sales reporting. See Data Analytics and Cloud Services.
Logistics and distribution
For logistics and distribution businesses the warehouse is the product. Accuracy and speed at every step decide the margin.
Common problems
- Inventory differences across warehouses and clients
- Picking and putaway that rely on memory rather than bin locations
- Little visibility of inbound and outbound shipments
- Manual billing and service-level reporting
How we help
We design warehouse processes and bin structures, set up cycle counting, and build shipment and service-level reporting. See Supply Chain and Consulting.
