Press Release Body = According to Rebecca Gill, vice-president of Technology Group
International (www.tgiltd.com), "Smaller companies require quick and easy order
management, automatically generated purchase requisitions, and extremely accurate
inventory management. For larger firms, SCM distribution software must offer more
advanced functionality like online product configuration, multilevel customer price
structures, and full replenishment processing (which takes into consideration such
elements as momentum, demand, vendor lead times, and minimum order quantities.)"
Distribution software is a key element in the automation of supply chain management
(SCM) functionality for small to medium size companies. From customer relationship
management to inventory control and transportation, finding the best SCM solution
ensures superior customer satisfaction for distribution companies across a number of
industries. Increasing manufacturing and distribution has become a blended
operation. This is according to
Thomas R. Cutler at Automation.com
(http://www.automation.com/sitepages/pid2494.php).
Gill noted that her company's technology solution, Enterprise 21, allows
manufacturing and distribution companies which require kitting or light
manufacturing the ability to take advantage of process and discrete manufacturing
functionality in the MRP/MRP II module, while warehouse intensive companies utilize
the fully integrated warehouse management system (WMS) to the maximize their
return-on-investment (ROI) through the usage of EDI, bar coding, RF, and RFID
technologies.
