Posted on: June 28, 2017 | By: Craig Thompson | QAD Practice News

It’s no secret that QAD is a leading ERP solution built to assist organizations in the manufacturing industry. Logan Consulting has been in ERP consulting for 25 years and has had the pleasure of seeing the benefits QAD brings to manufacturers, firsthand. More specifically, food manufacturers have had success gaining greater control of their processes with the help of this ERP software. Manufacturing, invoicing, and delivering are the three areas of action food manufacturers aim to perfect. Reducing error throughout the process of shaping raw materials into a finished product is a high priority to these types of organizations that are looking to maximize customer satisfaction.

Supply Chain Control

 

To gain optimal production results your operations and supply chain need to work together. By eliminating redundant activities, reducing inventories, and increasing supply chain visibility— your business can gain control of this relationship in no time. Here are the few of the ways QAD’s features can help make this happen.

Automation tools such as the supplier payment processing tool in financials, stops employees from guessing and reduces the likelihood of human error from occurring. By keeping inventory records in the cloud with QAD, organizations can reduce the amount on hand and focus on achieving that perfect inventory level. Another way QAD allows for complete supply chain visibility is through Cloud EDI (electronic data interchange). This feature, which is compatible with almost any software, simplifies communication with customers and suppliers up and down the value chain. Collaborating with stakeholders can be done in a single click, giving your organization the ability to act fast.

 

Adaptive Technology

 

A common problem we see for businesses in manufacturing is a lack of technological support when quantity increases. Having a system that is equipped to handle increased manufacturing is essential when looking to grow. Within the financial sector QAD simplifies reporting across all divisions and regions. With the ability to adapt to any currency, QAD is internationalized. Choosing to implement flexible ERP like QAD will create ease in the long run when your business is looking to make changes.

Cloud solutions pride themselves on ensuring security for their customers.
