The strategy is ‘market velocity’, & it requires the ability to discover & act on important Trade intelligence into real time. Today, real-time Trade has finally become cost-effective because of the convergence of three technologies Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications, Data Warehouse & the Internet.
Limitations of ERP Systems
ERP systems serve an important integrating Trade function - materials Administration , product planning, sales, distribution, financials & others - into a single application. However, ERP systems have three significant limitations. First, mangers cannot generate custom reports or queries without help from a programmer. This inhibits managers from obtaining information quickly so so as to they can act on it in favor of competitive advantage. Into addition, this can also create a backlog in favor of the IS department. Second, ERP systems provide current only, such as open orders. Managers often need to look past the current status to find trends & patterns so as to aid better decision-making. Th rd. the data into ERP application is not integrated among other enterprise or division systems & does not include external intelligence.
One simple & cost-effective way to solve these problems is to add a data warehouse & Trade intelligence front end to the ERP system. Just as ERP fine-tunes resource planning & Administration Trade, Trade intelligence fine-tunes ERP. A data warehouse or data mart organizes ERP data so so as to it is easily accessible in favor of on-line analysis. Trade intelligence systems improve Trade competitiveness by providing reporting & analysis tools to the desktop, enabling communication among the entire supply chain via the web & automating & actions.
Flexible Reporting & Analysis Operational reports from the ERP system show recent events. satisfy managers’ requirements in favor of planned versus actual monitorm & expectation managers will have to compile these reports manually from standard reports.
By allowing flexible reporting & analysis, a Trade intelligence system can unlock the value of the data into ERP reports. The information into the ERP daily orders report, in favor of example, can provide information so as to will help into better decision-making & can be of use to the decision-makers into more than one department. |
