What are the benefits of SCM software?

SCM is now customer-centric

  • Proper logistics is key to customer retention and ensures that your company gets final products to customers, quickly. SCM software improves order fulfillment efficiency in order to reduce lead times, from manufacturing to delivery.
  • From procurement and supplier management to inventory management, order management, and transportation management, an SCM solution promotes a seamless logistics process, for consumers and retailers. It is not only about delivering the finished product and responding to the customer satisfaction, but also about keeping your customer informed about the status of their products, throughout the whole process.
  • SCM software provides greater visibility into the supply network, allowing for better quality control of your products. This allows you to detect errors quicker and reduce the costs associated with them, to avoid unpleasant surprises and ensure better customer relations.

Digitalization and automation

  • An efficient SCM system, with automated processes and inventory, can reduce costs associated with stocking products or avoid potential stock-outs, by maintaining optimal inventory.
  • By automating manual tasks with supply chain management software, you can improve efficiency and reduce the human labour required for certain functions. This way, your team can save time and focus on tasks that require a human touch.
  • Automating these tasks also reduces the risk of manual data entry errors, oversights, duplicates, etc.
  • Digitizing data in SCM software allows you to have real-time visibility and insight into your inventory and other logistics data, as well as foster better communication throughout the supply chain.
  • By automating and improving the flow of your supply chain with advanced technology, you’ll achieve faster turnaround times from production to customer delivery – maximizing your overall business efficiency.

An agile supply chain management system

  • The supply chain must respond to the ever-changing needs of businesses and customers and must therefore be increasingly agile, to remain effective. Consumers now have the choice to buy in a variety of ways – online, in-store, by phone, etc. – and expect personalized service throughout the buying process. An agile supply chain will be able to meet their expectations.
  • Many economic, geopolitical and other factors can impact a manufacturer’s ability to source raw materials. They must be able to replenish their supplies from elsewhere when needed. An SCM software can help them establish different sources of raw materials and be flexible enough to adapt their supply chain operations to these necessary changes.
  • A SCM can also facilitate Supplier Relationship Management (SRM). Supplier management helps determine the value that each supplier brings to the table, and prioritize those that are most crucial to the continuity and performance of the business goals. It also helps cultivate better supplier relationships, based on the importance of each supplier.
  • Your transportation management will also be optimized with the help of your SCM software. An SCM software provides better visibility into land, air and sea transportation processes, ensuring timely delivery of goods as well as streamlining shipping processes.

How to choose the best SCM software in 2023?

What are the selection criteria for SCM software?

There are several factors to consider when selecting SCM software, including: required functionalities, company size and capabilities, number of licenses needed, usability, associated costs, etc. With your business’ needs in mind, make sure to validate if the SCM software can be integrated with any other software you may have, such as your ERP and MRP (manufacturing resource planning), to streamline data and foster interdepartmental collaboration.
To get off to a good start and make a wise choice, work with a consultant who specializes in cloud solutions and can guide you in your selection of SCM software. At Big Bang, we can perform a business systems analysis and make agnostic recommendations on the SCM software best suited to your current and future needs. We’ll also be able to customize it to your business and integrate it with your existing software.

What to watch out for when choosing SCM software?

Multinational companies should consider an SCM that will meet the complexity of your needs, whether it is to ensure the compliance of your supply chain management with the standards and tax laws of the countries where your suppliers and subcontractors originate, or to ensure effective communication between international parties.
There is also the risk that your supply chain employees will resist adopting new technologies, such as SCM software. To avoid this reluctance, consider an SCM software that has an intuitive and easy-to-learn interface. This will certainly help its adoption within the organization and encourage employees to use it effectively. Features such as data visualization, real-time collaboration, mobile-friendly design and a control tower to view and manage the entire supply chain landscape are worth considering.
