Exploring new ways to leverage technology with ECI Software Solutions Brian Bowerfind.
Walking through a grocery store, I’m impressed by the number of people that invest time to read the packaging of food or drinks before they’re added to the shopping cart. They’re studying the ingredients, certifications, and nutritional facts to determine if that particular item is a safe and healthy option for their family. This level of consumer consciousness continues to grow year over year, showing no signs of slowing pace.
Shortages have proven to be a consistent issue for manufacturing businesses around the world. While consumers have shifted to a ‘just-in-case’ mentality as a result of pandemic uncertainties, manufacturers have not been able to pivot their approach as quickly, causing delays and disruptions. Manufacturers have now switched inventory policies from ‘just-in-time’ to ‘just-in-case’ because of shortages and supply chain interruptions in both manufacturing and retail.
KnowledgeSync, as part of your Deacom ERP implementation, is here to help streamline your business and enable real-time updates across your entire organization.

In the world of supply chains, the importance of inventory management can often be overlooked as one of the less pivotal functions. This approach, though, should be taken at your peril.
An order management system (OMS) is a software package that coordinates all of the disparate functions of an order fulfillment process and allows them to be controlled succinctly.
Juggling a supply chain is one of the trickiest, but most important, aspects of managing a manufacturing business. Keeping that supply chain healthy and working at its optimum means the business can perform to its best ability on a day-to-day basis.
With billions wasted on stale or unsellable inventories each year, and an additional estimated $40 billion lost to employee theft in the US alone, the importance of keeping a strong handle on your business's stock with good inventory management techniques is becoming more apparent.
Investment in recruitment and digital capabilities will be needed to tackle mounting challenges in the year ahead, according to a poll of builders’ merchants.
Builders’ merchants have enjoyed a bumper year of sales, in part thanks to DIY and large-scale home improvements ramping up during the pandemic.
The supply chain distribution industry continues to evolve as companies are expected to meet customer expectations. Finding and creating a distribution chain that will support growth and improve performance is one of the key factors to staying ahead of the changes in the market.
Whether you’re looking to scale up, or just need to streamline the back-end processes of your business, order management software (OMS) is an essential tool for all ambitious retailers.
As the world adopts a more digital approach, it is highly likely that you have, or soon will, outgrow your usual working methods. If this is the case, when managing your business, you could be looking to move from using manual processes to investing in more mature, innovative construction software.
Why you should use accurate job costing to boost profit margins.
Improve your material and inventory management processes to positively impact the bottom line.
News that the Australian government would provide approximately $1.5 billion over five years to support the Modern Manufacturing Strategy (MMS) was welcomed by the sector, with the Prime Minister pledging to build scale and capture income in high-value areas of manufacturing, "where Australia either has established competitive strength or emerging priorities".
Material Requirements Planning (MRP) systems have been around for a long time, and while they are not a buzzword that many business leaders are used to hearing regularly in comparison to others; it remains a fundamental necessity within the manufacturing industry. With the business cycle moving faster than ever, manufacturers must evolve to keep pace - technology is vital to this process.

Things You Must Do If You Want Your Business to Take Off
One of the biggest mistakes business owners make is carrying too much inventory in their warehouses. Overbuying is usually caused by manual inventory and warehouse management systems that are clunky, inaccurate, and costly. The costs associated with purchasing those items, transporting them, and storing them can take a huge bite out of your operating budget and eventually your profit.
As we head into 2020 we asked the top industry thought leaders to weigh in on what we can expect in the coming year. Here are their thoughts and insights on an array of home building topics.
