Manufacturers and distributors face many challenges day to day. A high majority of these challenges revolve around one simple concept – supply and demand. You want your products exactly when you need them in order to supply your customers with whatever they desire. In order to do this, it is essential to have an integrated ERP system that can link functions throughout your organization.  So just how might an ERP system like Microsoft GP help when it comes to supply chain management?

Keeps your inventory lean – Microsoft Dynamics GP allows for JIT (just in time) inventory which allows you to have materials when you need them – not too late and not too early.

Helps with vendor and supplier negotiation – With GP you can tighten vendor and supplier relations by implementing customer portals that provide current, reliable information. Plus, GP has the ability to predict future market trends, which will allow for better insight in negotiation and smarter buying decisions.

Complete Microsoft Integration – GP fully integrates with current Microsoft products such as Excel and Outlook which creates a complete and innovative solution to all of your business needs.
