Supply Chain Management for QAD Adaptive

Supply Chain Overview

QAD Adaptive Supply Chain gives manufacturers visibility across the network, helping reduce lead times, optimize inventory turns, control costs, and improve margins. Integrated portals and dashboards streamline communication with suppliers and customers, while real-time insights enable faster decision-making.

Key benefits:
 • Improve margins: Reduce overstock and waste
 • Drive the effective enterprise: Streamline business processes
 • Streamline communication: Supplier and customer portals enable fast, clear collaboration
 • Increase responsiveness: Quick access to information for timely action

Supply Chain Planning

• Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP): Supports intra-company demand planning, cost tracking, and inventory transfers across sites.
 • Enterprise Operations Planning (EOP): Aligns supply chain and production planning with high-level S&OP processes to ensure end-to-end operational efficiency.

Supply Chain Portal

The collaborative portal enables real-time communication of demand changes and tracks orders and shipments using ASNs, improving visibility and coordination across the network.

Transportation Management

QAD Adaptive optimizes shipment planning across air, sea, parcel, truckload, and LTL modes. It provides international documentation support, route optimization, and compliance with trade regulations, including denied party screening.

Supplier Relationship Management

QAD Adaptive’s SRM (Sourcing) is purpose-built for Direct Sourcing (mission-critical materials) rather than the indirect spend focus of competitors.

Warehousing

QAD Adaptive warehousing is a fully embedded core functionality that supports sophisticated warehouse operations with automated task management, RF-based picking, wave and batch management, put-away, cross-docking, replenishment, transfers, and advanced cycle counting. It replaces the older AIM (Advanced Inventory Management) System and enables a global view of inventory across multiple warehouses, improving efficiency, accuracy, and fulfillment speed.
