High Volume and High Product Turnover? No Problem!

The holiday shopping season is upon us. This means that many manufacturers and distributors are busier than they’ve been all year.  Ramped up production may put a strain on your business, but with the right management solution you can see increased volume, efficient product turnover and satisfied customers this holiday season

The holiday season isn’t your only busy time as a manufacturer or distributor. Throughout the year there are special sales and promotions that call for increased productivity. And really, at any time of the year, a strong supply chain and strategic manufacturing and distribution operation along with accurate forecasting are essential to your success. Knowing which products will sell best at which times of the year is something all manufacturers need to know if they are going to stay on top of the demand and thus on top of the competition.

You need a strong business management system.

A robust ERP (enterprise resource planning) solution, Microsoft Dynamics GP,  will give you the control and support that you need in order to keep on top during these high volume months. With a single integrated ERP solution, you can manage all of your business processes, including financials, supply chain and inventory, manufacturing and distribution and human resources and payroll. Your data will be centralized so you can spot trends in the market place. You can obtain your statistics in real time and find out when your product is rising or falling in popularity. That way you can identify which items will require additional production and can plan accordingly.

Ramping up production also requires the assurance that your suppliers can deliver materials you need on time and at an agreeable price. Your ERP can manage your supply chain data and help you deal with unforeseen interruptions or delays.

Microsoft Dynamics GP, both on premise and in the cloud, is designed to handle the highs and lows of your manufacturing and distribution business. Have all the information you need at the click of a mouse and breathe easier during holiday’s to come.
