Distribution

Current challenges facing the distribution industry

There are many reviews of the product number

The more the lot size increases, the more part numbers need to be managed, and therefore the more part numbers need to be reviewed.

Order a mix of common items

Because the management of orders and receipts is separate, situations can arise where there is insufficient stock or more orders are placed than necessary. Also, if there is insufficient stock, additional orders will have to be placed.

Distribution-specific load calculation

Because the distribution industry uses special load calculation methods, it is difficult to grasp the actual inventory situation and the amount of goods that should be ordered.

Three benefits of implementing ERP

Shortening lead times

Previously, it took time to compile the parts list using Excel, but by implementing ERP, we were able to centralize the management and visualize the shipping and ordering status in real time.

Zero inventory through order management for backorders

The solution is cross-docking. Cross-docking is when goods from suppliers are sorted and shipped directly after they arrive at the distribution center, without being stored in inventory. InforSyteline can smoothly manage this repackaging of goods using the WMS.

Support for weights and measures conversion

By implementing ERP, it is possible to calculate the conversion rate using a combination of unit number and product number. This makes it possible to accurately manage items even if the number of pieces and weight are not consistent.

The benefits of implementation in numbers

Warehouse inventory down 30%

Reduce inventory in warehouses.
shipping time.
Just like production, complete instructions from procurement to shipping with cross-docking.

Delivery time reduced by 50%

Cross-docking shipping instructions reduce warehouse residence time and shorten shipping times.
