Distribution

Case Studies

Digital transformation with a new ERP system

A leading Pharmaceutical distribution company based in Dubai was challenged with managing stock return, optimizing shipment cost, managing price negotiations, order placements and item preferences along with poor employee productivity. They wanted to:

Migrate from their legacy and disparate systems to a unified ERP solution

Improve operational efficiency with streamline processes

Leverage automation and advanced technologies to optimize warehouse operations

Enhance productivity

Return Management of expired & unsold items:

Shipment Management

Price Negotiations and Order Management

Reserving Items Preferences

Financial Reporting

Data inconsistencies due to disjointed systems

Solutions

Implemented Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management along with Advance Warehouse Management

The approach was to first identify the major process gaps that were presently impacting operations and then get the Financial Management on track

Result

This digitalization of processes helped minimize the validation and return time, saved sizeable manpower and manual labor that goes into the distribution network, and improved accuracy of data and authenticity of the order placed that is seamlessly verified through the solution.

With the Landed Cost functionality, the client was able to get the actual cost of shipment, which would get distributed automatically to all the purchase orders.

With the Advanced Warehouse Management module, client was able to automatically reserve inventory quantities for a particular sales order, thereby avoiding errors, stockouts, and confusion when dealing with individual client preferences.
