SYSPRO Load Planning Helps Manufacturers and Distributors Enhance Customer Service
SYDNEY, Australia - July 19th, 2007
SYSPRO, a leading provider of enterprise resource planning software, said that SYSPRO load planning is playing a key role in helping manufacturers and distributors enhance customer service. SYSPRO Load Planning assists in determining when orders can be delivered and improves the actual picking and loading of goods for subsequent delivery.
SYSPRO Load Planning enables the assignment of a route code against each customer (or warehouse, for an SCT order) to indicate the standard delivery method as well as a distance or sequence in which the load must be delivered. A delivery frequency can be associated with each route as well as the number of deliveries that can be made on a single day.
SYSPRO Load Planning facilitates the association of orders to routes based on the customer (or warehouse, for an SCT order.) As each specific line is added to the order, the appropriate route detail (load) is calculated based on the required delivery date or on the delivery date calculated based on the availability of stock and load capacity. The loads are managed by initialising them for a selected period ahead, which can be reviewed. Several reports are available to assist in the planning and monitoring of loads.
According to SYSPRO Asia Pacific General Manager, Shaun Butler, “A primary way manufacturers and distributors compete is through customer service. SYSPRO Load Planning is yet another way SYSPRO helps these companies to enhance customer satisfaction through on-time deliveries.â€
