Modern companies face difficult shipping challenges.
Customers want more products and delivery service choices with lower costs. As a result, shippers must move smaller, more frequent shipments over greater distances and geographies. They must manage an increasing number of components demanded by today’s value-added services, and meet expanded cube, weight, and handling requirements. They must also integrate seamlessly with their manufacturing
and warehousing operations to coordinate supply chain planning and execution processes.
Forward-thinking organizations understand that agile, responsive pull-based supply chains — driven by real-time customer demand —deliver the most value for their business.
That’s because demand-driven supply chains are focused on making, distributing, and delivering the products customers want, when they want them, at a fair price. This can be a challenge in a globalized economy where market complexity and competitive pressures are intense, andwhere partners and customers are spread throughout the world with multiple regional requirements, government regulations, and time zones complicating the picture.
Supply Chain Management (SCM) helps you synchronize cycles of demand, supply, and inventory so you can get your product to where your customers are quickly and cost-effectively, and/or find new manufacturers or suppliers that have the available capacity to meet pent-up demand.
Transportation Management support the speed of today’s businessWith the rise of the demand-driven supply chain, transportation and logistics providers, retailers, and manufacturers are constantly seeking better ways to meet customer demand with fast, responsive service at the lowest total cost.
You must create an innovative, agile, and costeffective supply chain that supports the speed of today's business and enables you to make better strategic, tactical, operational, and execution decisions related to supply chain design and transportation – so that you can anticipate demand and properly position product supply and services to meet that demand.
Warehouse ManagementIn the past, warehouse management could focus solely on controlling the movement and storage of materials within an operation and processing the associated transactions of picking, packing, shipping and receiving. However, today’s systems must integrate warehouse operations, so that visibility extends beyond the four walls of the warehouse and to the rest of the value chain.
Infor Warehouse Management — a critical component of your supply chain strategy.When it comes to fulfillment and distribution, global companies must have the flexibility to adapt to changing business conditions and accommodate future growth, as well manage materials handling and supply chain execution processes.
