Supply Chain Management for SYSPRO

Supply Chain Portal

The Supply Chain Portal is an interactive web platform that facilitates online transactions between an enterprise and its suppliers and customers. The Supply Chain Portal has been launched with the Request for Quote capability, which enables the formal invitation to suppliers to tender for the supply of goods and services. Additional capabilities will be added in subsequent releases.

The Supply Chain Portal streamlines collaboration between buyers and suppliers and minimizes document handling – reducing potential fraud. It automates business processes and ensures transparency of supplier, and in future, customer transactions. Ultimately, the Supply Chain Portal will help to increase operational efficiency and improve governance.

Preferred Supplier

This feature facilitates and optimizes the management of sourcing strategies during procurement and recommends suppliers during the purchasing cycle.

Blanket Sales Orders and Releases

SYSPRO Blanket Sales Orders provide an effective method of setting up contracts between equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their suppliers by providing blanket sales orders with multiple release dates, multiple call-offs, and cumulative tracking.

Landed Cost Tracking

SYSPRO’s Landed Cost Tracking (LCT) provides visibility of imported goods through shipment tracking and enables greater control of all associated costs, resulting in accurate landed costs. It enables you to track shipments of imported goods, monitor the progress and estimated arrival times of shipments, and establish a reliable estimate of the overall cost of imported goods. Furthermore, it aids the calculation of a more accurate actual cost at which to receive the goods and provides an actual cost comparison to the various estimates made during the procurement cycle.

Container Tracking 

The Container Tracking Module provides visibility across the complex supply chain for companies who deal internationally, import goods for distribution, or import raw materials for use in the manufacturing process.

This solution helps monitor, manage, and track shipments via air, land, and while at sea so businesses can stay abreast of inventory even before it reaches the warehouse. 

For increased control, CTM allows companies to leverage flexible shipment and container building by weight or volume. The system makes it easy to track and manage multiple purchase orders and shipments for fewer container loads and vessels, saving the organization time and money. Companies gain even more efficiency by tracking from the supply chain source through the final destination and taking ownership as soon as the container is closed.

Lot Traceability

SYSPRO Lot Traceability enables you to maximize quality control by tracking products, materials, and processes, as well as by facilitating effective recalls. It caters for the tracking of materials through receipt, manufacture, assembly, inspection, stocking and final distribution while maintaining quality assurance certification and tracking expiration dates. 

Users can identify which materials require lot tracking and the stages of production where information needs to be recorded throughout the manufacturing process.

Trade Promotions

SYSPRO’s comprehensive Trade Promotions functionality provides increased control and efficient management of your promotions, thereby reducing time-consuming reconciliations and improving accuracy and profitability. With its clear visibility of Pareto, forecasting, inventory, and sales data, SYSPRO enables quick identification of suitable items for promotion, such as new, rebranded, and seasonal items, slow movers, and those nearing expiry date.

Return to Supplier

Return to Supplier facilitates the return of goods or services to suppliers as a result of defects or other reasons for dissatisfaction. It simplifies the process of returns and provides an efficient method of controlling items leaving the site for returns or repairs, ensuring visibility and tracking of the item until the process is concluded.
