Ensuring IT systems are aligned to business requirements will result in improved customer service, reduced processing costs and effective management of supply chain activities.

We have an experienced team of IT systems specialists able to work with your organisation on improving the effectiveness of existing IT systems or identifying opportunities for new supply chain systems to be deployed.

We often find that by addressing the configuration and parameters within current ERP or supply chain systems can result in improved planning and operational effectiveness. We have in our team specialists who have detailed knowledge of the supply chain functionality in ERP systems including SAP, Oracle and Movex. By auditing current systems parameters we can quickly indentify areas of misalignement and work with your IT and operational teams to make changes.

Our business process knowledge in supply chain allows us to identify opportunities for new systems functionality and working independently of vendors we can identify appropriate solutions, run transparent RFx events and once a solution and vendor are selected manage the implementation phase. We have detailed knowledge of supply chain systems including advanced demand planning, inventory management, warehouse management and transport management solutions.

Ensuring master data is set-up and maintained accurately will result in substantial reductions in errors and rework. We can identify issues with master data management (MDM) and develop approaches to improve master data performance.

Questions we can answer in relation to supply chain systems alignment are:

> What systems do I need to support my business processes?
> How can I improve the way my current ERP systems supports the business processes?
> What manual processes can be automated?
> What new solutions and vendors should I be going to?
> How can I ensure that a new system implementation meet my business requirements?

Outcomes from bettwr alignment of supply chain systems include:

> Improved service performance
