Staying on top of Inventory Management

Written by Vision33 | Thu, May 22, 2014 @ 09:29 PM

Growing small to midsize enterprises (SMEs) face challenges organizing large amounts of data from disparate systems, making inventory management more complicated than it needs to be. With an advanced enterprise resource planning (ERP) system such as SAP Business One, SMEs can pull detailed reports on inventory levels, order fulfillment, and overall lead times - giving the employees from sales to warehouse management the visibility they need to streamline operations within your company.

SAP Business One gives you access to complete and relevant business information and allows you to:

  • Streamline processes from order to delivery
    Sales can easily check inventory levels and create an order by creating custom inventory controls. Once an order is created, the warehouse management team is alerted and able to deliver the order.
     
  • Manage inventory throughout the company
    If your warehouse manager is in a situation where the inventory at that location is depleted, the warehouse manager is able to either ship from an alternate location or have items shipped over to his location. Inventory levels and item statuses in both locations are automatically updated. Employees also have the ability to track smaller items or overseas shipments that are crucial to your business at any given time.
     
  • Access real-time data and reports
    Your employees will have access to critical updates and real-time business information. You will have access to accurate reports on current inventory stock and past demands so that you can make more informed decisions for future purchases and orders.

With SAP Business One, your company has the flexibility it needs to streamline business operations as well as better serve your customers. If you have any questions about how an ERP system can improve inventory management within your company, contact Vision33 today.
