Information increasing company profit (LOG)
15.11.2008
In an economy standing under pressure of cost increase, on a market
that forces reduction of price lists intelligent information can really
make the difference between profit and loss or development and
bankruptcy. We talked to Romeo Iacob, Sales and Marketing Manager,
Novensys about how to efficiently obtain this critical business
information.
What solution does Novensys recommend for logistic activities?
Romeo
Iacob: Logistic Vision Suite is an integrated solution for logistic
activities, dedicated to medium and large enterprises, which allows the
management and optimization of the entire supply chain. For small
companies, we recommend easy Logistics, a more basic version, that
includes Logistic Vision Suite functionalities. Logistic Vision Suite
has reached the third generation and integrates the newest bar code
reading technology, radio frequencies and material handling technology
to provide complete functionalities for logistics. The solution is
based on an open architecture, which allows simple integration with
existing information systems, such as enterprise resource planning
systems or supply planning systems. It is an integrated, modular
solution with a competitive price and with the quality of being highly
adaptable to specific business needs. The Logistic Vision Suite
functionalities meet all the requests of logistic activities management
in any developing business: warehouse management, distribution
management, production management, planning of quality and safety
process activities.
How big are the implementation costs of Logistic Vision Suite?
Logistic
Vision Suite has an advantageous profitability rate, due to the fact
that the first stage only requires low investment and offers quick
results, and once the company's business results diversify the
possibility is offered to invest in additional functionalities.
Furthermore, implementing Logistic Vision Suite doesn't take up very
much time and too many significant resources for the company. The
solution has proven its efficiency in retail, manufacturing and
distribution on various markets (food and beverages, electronics,
pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, chemicals, cables, textiles etc.).
How about the benefits?
Some
of the benefits I would list here are: significant improvement in
inventory accuracy, automation of warehousing and distribution
activities, increase in the level of chargement of warehousing space
with possibility of complete goods tracking, from arrival to
delivery. Logistic Vision Suite makes it possible to implement
advanced replenishment and ordering politics and real-time, centralized
surveillance and control, in order for managers to have access to all
the information regarding logistics and inventory planning operations.
You can virtually operate with countless logistical attributes
(loading, replenishment, stock rotation etc.) benefiting of a real-time
architecture provided by a server specialized in radio frequency
communication. Thereto, multiple command structures are added to each
item (e.g. pallets, boxes, single items), multiple measurement units
for each item (pieces, kg, m, l etc.), countless distribution centers
and also an adaptable and highly functional interface (user defined
favorite objects, menus, custom search list, hyperlinks, shortcuts
etc).
Do you offer consultancy for the implementation of these solutions?
We
support our customers in every stage of the implementation of a
solution for information management, from consultancy to recommending a
solution, to implementation or maintenance. According to our philosophy,
we turn the well done things into a standard of the solutions we
