Hand on heart - how efficient is your company's supply chain? Are all parts fine-tuned and optimized for the best possible flow in the supply chain? Or is there room for improvement? If so, an integration project is an action that will have a very positive impact on the efficiency and value of your business.
Increasingly complex supply chains
Today's supply chains are becoming increasingly complex. On the one hand, more and more supply chain warehouses are being built as companies use the whole world in their search for the best purchasing and market options. On the other hand, the supply chain is expanding into more dimensions when adding, for example, information from trade and customs systems. Having an overview and control over the information in all input systems in the supply chain is a challenge.
Digitalisation and automation are keywords in many industries right now, not least in the supply chain area where there is still a lot to do to get in line with developments. It is simply no longer viable to sit with manual work in fragmented systems, when there are well-functioning integration solutions.
Integration improves information quality
In many companies, information within supply chain is fragmented. It is not uncommon to work in a variety of systems and platforms, such as order systems, ERP systems, warehouse management systems and transport booking systems, which are also mixed with local platforms such as e-mail and Excel spreadsheets. It goes without saying that when information is spread across multiple platforms with no interconnections, quality suffers. It is almost impossible to get an accurate and up-to-date picture of all the parts in the supply chain. Properly implemented integration would increase transparency and information quality.
Automate manual work
A practical effect of the supply chain being fragmented on different systems is an increased degree of manual work. Employees are allowed to spend time moving information between systems, which means non-value-creating duplication of work and increased risks of something going wrong due to the human factor. What does it look like in your company? Do you know how many hours a week employees sit with manual work that could actually be automated? Properly implemented integration would free up time from employees, who could instead devote themselves to value-creating tasks.
