Operating an efficient supply chain is crucial for business success in today’s fast-paced markets. Companies need real-time visibility and flexible control across their production, inventory, warehousing, logistics and order fulfilment processes. NetSuite offers a unified cloud platform to manage all aspects of supply chain operations with agility, scalability and optimization.
The Challenges of Supply Chain Management
Supply chains have become extremely complex across globalized, multi-channel business environments. Organizations struggle with:
- Fragmented Systems – Most companies operate with disconnected applications and data sources for purchasing, planning, manufacturing, inventory, shipping, warehouses, orders and more leading to delays, errors and lack of control.
- Lack of Visibility – With siloed systems, there often isn’t a single version of truth showing what is happening across the overall supply network, limiting responsiveness.
- Inefficient Processes – Manual hand-offs between departments and trading partners hamper productivity and speed. This can also increase costs with expedited shipments and markdowns.
- Difficulty Scaling – Growth and fluctuations in supply and demand can strain legacy software systems not built to handle complexity at scale without significant customization.
- Regulatory Compliance – Whether meeting quality standards, international trade regulations or sustainability metrics, fragmented processes raise risk levels, liability exposure and costs.
