Manufacturing and distribution businesses juggle a lot of moving parts.
Inside your walls, workers are tracking orders, picking, packing, and shipping. But unless someone knows your inventory like the back of their hand, their job isn’t easy.
Outside your walls, inflation is high, and the economy is nearing a recession. Demand is unstable, competition is fierce, and eCommerce giants aren’t going away. And while the global supply chain is healing, it may never return to normal.
That’s the bad news.
The good news? These internal and external forces aren’t all doom and gloom.
Challenges Create Opportunities
While this may not feel like an ideal time to upgrade your business management software, the timing couldn’t be better.
It’s nearly impossible to effectively run manufacturing and distribution with disconnected, small business solutions.
Entry-level software and spreadsheets can’t provide up-to-the-second views of your inventory, help with forecasting, or offer the meaningful reports and deep insights you need to quickly identify issues that cost too much time and money.
Manufacturing and distribution require efficiency, automation, integration, and collaboration. And the best and fastest way to get these must-haves is with an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution.
The right ERP solution:
- Integrates every aspect of your business on one easy-to-use platform
- Delivers real-time information for better financial and operational decisions
- Keeps salespeople and customers in the know
- Gives pickers accurate information for every shipment
- Allows you to look forward and backward in the supply chain
- Optimizes warehouse and inventory management
- Caters to any business scenario, customer demand, and vendor requirement
- Scales to accommodate business changes like new warehouses, mergers, and acquisitions
- Allows you to deploy on-premises, in the cloud, or both
