Supply chain management can be very challenging with so many intricacies across markets. Configuring your ERP to help your processes may not be what you'd want to add to the workload. However, a rigid system can significantly burden your labour and disrupt coordination and consistency. Here are a few pointers to account for in your supply chain system when deploying your ERP solution.

Can a business operate profitably without inventory management? This depends on a number of factors.

In an age of high customer expectations, warehouse management inefficiency will cost your business. An inefficient warehouse slows down your customer fulfilment, which in turn affects customer loyalty. It increases your operational costs, which if passed on to your prices, will reduce your competitiveness.
