Does your Baan or Infor LN system still lack integration with UPS and FedEx?

Efficiency is a recurring topic within the manufacturing sector, often highlighted in articles and discussions with manufacturers. According to a recent comprehensive report by The Manufacturer and IBM, a substantial 92% of manufacturers prioritize enhancing efficiency as their primary business imperative. By bolstering efficiency, manufacturers can effectively curtail costs, augment throughput, and thereby enhance their competitive edge.

A notable approach to enhance efficiency involves the elimination of redundant processes, particularly the manual input of data from systems like Baan and Infor LN to third-party logistics systems such as UPS or FedEx. These third-party systems necessitate comprehensive details regarding the shipment, encompassing shipment particulars, transportation mode, weight, quantity, and more. Subsequently, once the shipment is prepared, the tracking number, freight expenses, and other pertinent information must be painstakingly entered back into Baan and Infor LN. This is a pivotal step in facilitating the processing of sales orders and, ultimately, the invoicing of customers. Regrettably, this process consumes a significant amount of time, is prone to errors, and contributes to delays in both the shipping and invoicing processes.

Why invest unnecessary time and effort when the entire workflow can be streamlined through automation, whether on-premise or in the cloud, with RMCship?

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Seems obvious – you want real time data and you want it to be accurate. Do you have the systems in place to allow for this?

Here are 4 reasons you need a data collection system:

  1. See the differences between actuals and standards
  2. Determine the source of project overruns
  3. Prevent mis-shipments to customers
  4. Avoid unnecessary reordering of parts

An automated data collection system will analyze your current data, allowing you to efficiently optimize your manufacturing and the benefits will be huge and far reaching.

Optimize Your Manufacturing Today!

Do you have a strong relationship with your suppliers? Do they know your every need/want? No? Well, why not?  

The key to any good relationship is communication. Have you established clear and consistent communication with your suppliers? Consider establishing a way for both of you to share information with each other electronically.

A portal is a good way to achieve this. Documents can be shared, updates on deliveries can be communicated with ease, and changes that can affect both your operations and theirs can be communicated efficiently and effectively.
