BizAutomation Cloud ERP and Supply Chain Management SCM

BizAutomation’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) are intertwined in a symbiotic relationship that streamlines your business in a way modular ERP systems and connected apps will find challenging.

Supply Chain Management

Inbound, Outbound, and Reverse Logistics

• Demand Planning - BizAutomation’s supply chain starts with demand planning, which tells you what you need to buy, or via MRP, what you need to make. Not just based on back-order or safety stock, but also future demand from multiple dimensions, such as blanket order ship dates, seasonality, and late stage CRM sales opportunities in the pipeline... more
• Procurement & PO Consolidation - Based on business intelligence from demand planning, BizAutomation produces purchase orders which can further be consolidated to leverage economies of scale, and optimized based on mining your historical order history... more
• Supplier Shipping - BizAutomation enables multiple Directship and Dropship options which can originate from a demand plan or a sales order. Depending on what is needed, the chain can flow into a few different variables. BizAutomation can blind dropship or brand dropship by preparing blank or branded packing slips and bills of lading your supplier can use in shipments.
  • Variable 1 - Dropship To Customer
  • Variable 2 - Dropship To Customer’s Customer
  • Variable 3 - Dropship To Distribution Center (3PL)
  • Variable 4 - Dropship To Contract Manufacturer, and when done:
    • Variable 4.1 - Dropship to Customer
    • Variable 4.2 - Dropship to Customer’s Customer
    • Variable 4.3 - Dropship to Distribution Center (3PL)
    • Variable 4.4 - Directship to your Warehouse
• Warehouse Management (WMS) - After materials, and / or finished goods are shipped to your warehouse, BizAutomation provides the receiving and put-away... more
  • Variable 1 - Manufacturing – If part of your supply chain includes manufacturing, BizAutomation will provide the ability to issue work orders including the receiving (to work station), manufacture, picking, packing, and if tied to a sales order, the shipping and logistics... more
• Sales Fulfillment - Unless your organization is a pure-play Dropshipping organization, your supply chain will include a Directship process, which includes warehouse fulfillment, including the pick, pack, workflow, which BizAutomation provides... more
• Shipping / Transportation Management - While most business suites stop after picking and packing, and leave Transportation Management (TMS) to vertically integrated systems from 3rd party partners (via SDKs), BizAutomation opted to build the front end within the suite to prevent the possibility of vendor lock-in which is common in vertically integrated builds. We then API connect to best of breed TMS partners which handle the carrier API integration. For shipments that require parcel only carriers, you can choose from EasyPost, and FreightPOP, and if your shipments include freight, FreightPOP will rise to the challenge. Merrit based partnerships are how we bring “Customer First” priorities, to our customer’s supply chain... more
• Reverse Logistics / RMAs - the final link in the supply chain - Reconciling supplier and customer RMAs, with inventory management, requires advanced logistics most systems leave to expensive 3rd party add-ons, we don’t.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

BizAutomation ERP is the business engine that powers supply chain processes embedded within the suite. Without it, you end up with a constellation of connected apps, each having its own data silo, which now has to be synchronized, further increasing the possibility of broken links in your supply chains.

Here are some ways BizAutomation’s ERP and SCM work together to help you out maneuver your competition:

• Provides a single source of truth for all supply chain data, allowing your businesses to make better decisions based on accurate and up-to-date information.
• Automates manual tasks, enabling your employees to focus on more strategic activities.
• Enables real-time visibility into supply chain operations enabling your business to respond quickly to changes in both demand, and supply.
