Five action points to consider when reviewing business software
- When you run a growing organisation, there’s a point where you need to consider upgrading or investing in new business management software to support
Hold more stock than you need, or fail to dispatch orders fast enough and the rest of the business struggles. To predict the right time to order, warehouse and ship your goods you need to have a clear understanding of fluctuating customer demands, shifting logistical costs and an increasingly complex supplier landscape. Without the right tools you can only make an estimated guess, based on hindsight and a whole lot of luck.
This takes away the guess work. You can plan for the right quantities to be stored, retrieved or delivered based on accurate forecasts and discover new levels of efficiency through process automation. With Pronto Software, your incoming and outgoing goods are delivered efficiently and intelligently when and where you want them.
Lower your supply chain costs by accurately forecasting quantities required, optimising your inventory and reducing the cost of manual administration, data errors and shipping costs.
By automating repetitive and predictable processes along the supply chain you can reduce human error, unintended delivery lags and create an intelligent, efficient supply chain.
For complete supply chain transparency, live tracking of all your stock levels and movement lets you know at a glance where every order is in real-time, while helping you share this information with suppliers, partners and customers.
With Pronto Xi Supply Chain gain full visibility across your entire supply chain – from planning distribution and forecasting stock requirements to warehouse operations. Move and manage stock entirely within Pronto Xi, reducing paper-based and manual processes. Read how Advanced Forecasting allows trends to be predicted – and learn how costs can be reduced with less errors and administration overheads.
Create an intelligent warehouse with Pronto Xi Warehouse Management System. Flexible three-dimensional warehouse layouts allow you to define the layout of your warehouse exactly, and where items are stored. To create faster picking, managers can specify optimal picking paths, picking methodologies, quantities, and order prioritisation. Intelligent top-up routines mean sales orders are automatically released when replenishments are required.
Pronto Xi DRP simplifies even complex supply chain planning, helping you to plan how goods will flow through your entire network of warehouses, distribution centres, branches and suppliers. Plan at the factory level through Master Production Scheduling (MPS) and Materials Requirements Planning (MRP), and set up automatic replenishment that takes into consideration supplier priorities, transport costs, lead times, inventory targets and product costs.
Access accurate, reliable inventory forecasting, to know exactly how much you’ll need, and where and when you’ll need it. Pronto Xi’s Advanced Forecasting tool factors in sales orders, goods shipped and inventory transfers, as well as trends and seasonal fluctuations. View by time period, factor in market events and trends, and apply advanced forecasting methods to get a clear view ahead, all on one screen.
