In the nowadays complex and competitive environment the supply chain requires updated tools allowing companies optimizing production and goods distribution process.
Such solutions are base on forecasting mathematics algorithms allowing the defined goals fulfilment (even if apparently in contrast) constantly interacting with the IT systems and under the manager’s in charge strong governance:
From this point of view EDI and Web-EDI allowed developing new processes in order to increase the administrative and IT collaboration and they are the starting point for C.R.P. (Continuous Replenishment Process) projects implementation. This process delegates supplier (who knows the whole process, future supplies availability included) managing the product provisioning for retailers.
CRP is based on stock level, shipping, sales and stock-outs constant and daily news exchange, working at different level (point of sale or warehouses) based on company organization.
Starting from this information, neXt-Reorder computes a consumption forecast and elaborates the real needs taking into consideration the logistic constrains defined in the agreement.
This computation final result is a provisioning proposal sent from supplier to the customer who validates it and sends the confirmation back engaging the supplier on delivery terms.
The solution is multi-company and supports management of users / user groups access and permission to functionalities.
In order to guarantee the standards respect and to reduce the possible development needs, neXt-Reorder gives user maximum freedom level together with the highest possible customization. It is therefore possible in many cases to customize the procedure according to user’s requirements.
