Logistic management in Sage Enterprise Management

 In order to increase visibility, efficiency, and prevent losses due to avoidable mistakes, it is important to properly handle, identify, and streamline processes when leading a rapidly expanding organisation into the future. Organizations make significant investments in the best CRM and/or ERP systems, depending on their business requirements and funding, in an effort to accomplish this. The packaged transport management add-ons available off the market might not always suit your needs, so it makes sense and is also cost-effective to customize your ERP to include the appropriate features and business rules.

The largest food and consumer product company in North America was in a position very similar to this. They had a legacy system that enabled them to efficiently plan and reschedule their series of vendor pickups and customer deliveries. They desired the Sage ERP X3 system they selected to be tightly integrated with similar functionality.

In order to address the need for the organization to manage inbound and outbound transport, we at Greytrix identified this issue, comprehended the requirements of the organization, and provided a tailored solution for Sage ERP X3. We gave them a single console so they could easily and effectively carry out all transport-related tasks while maximizing cargo capacity and decreasing cycle time. The customization makes it easy for the scheduler to locate, buy, and keep track of the carrier load, choose the carrier and broker, and record their fees in order to automatically generate purchase orders for their services. There were also provisions made to manage cross-docking and cross-border shipments. All of these tasks were connected immediately to the X3 functionalities of allocation, creation of deliveries, and validation from a single source.

Our modification encompasses the entire transportation cycle and aids in the development of incredibly adaptable transportation plans that can be used directly within the Sage X3 system for logistics, making life easier for ERP users.

You now know where to search the next time you want custom features to improve Sage ERP functionality and experience.
