Manufacturing

Gain a competitive edge with real-time visibility into your inventory. Our system provides granular control over stock levels, ensuring that you can meet production demands without excess or shortage.

Where best-of-breed WMS meets the ERP

Manual environments and lack of real-time data can cripple the manufacturing supply chain. To proactively manage inventory and distribution flows, warehouse management systems (WMS) require integration with ERP systems. Softeon supply chain management solutions seamlessly integrate with ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle, Baan and other proprietary systems as well as standard integration protocols to facilitate quick implementation and ROI.

Softeon solutions easily connect every node of the manufacturing supply chain: labor, inventory, forecasting, transportation and distribution to create agile, flexible supply chains. Planners can make timely decisions involving the manufacturing process and the transfer of finished goods or components among DCs for improved inventory management. Goods move through the warehouse with increased visibility and efficiency.

Softeon manufacturing solutions give you the ability to:

Proactively respond to shortage or overages of SKUs and send the information to the ERP on a real-time or scheduled basis

Adjust daily shipment planning, wave sizing and other aspects of supply chain planning at the DC level with real-time or schedule feeds of forecasting and distribution resources planning information

Analyze shipment histories to model and trigger inputs for planning systems based on statistical model techniques

Manage labor and materials at the SKU level for value-added services (new product launches, product rollouts, promotions)

Facilitate inbound inspection and quality checking to support quality assurance programs

Use robust purchasing and demand planning capabilities including blanket PO generation and replenishment requests to suppliers

Experience multi-level bill-of-materials support

Implement sophisticated inventory allocation rules within the DC or across the network to support supplier integration

Organize flexible options for order release (by waves, auto order based on events, etc.)

Facilitate transportation management, inbound container management and merge-in-transit capabilities

Softeon next-gen solutions support lean manufacturing

3PLs and value-added distributors need systems that support contract manufacturing activities like assembly and kitting. Softeon solutions manage the exact requirements of assembly components via push or pull signals on real-time interfaces between the ERP and WMS. The system manages inbound materials into the warehouse and feeds into the assembly floor to maintain just-in-time inventory. Softeon solutions also support advanced practices such as vendor managed inventory.
