Owing
to the technological advancement, day-by-day the world is shrinking.
The customer's desire is continuously rising and the businesses are
prone to an uncertain environment. The new developments like internet
technology proliferation, e-Commerce, world wide web, etc., have
changed the way an organization is needed to do the business.
Supply
chain management (SCM) not only includes the supplier and the
manufacturer, but also warehouses, retailers, transporters, and
clients themselves. Within each company, like a manufacturer, supply
chain adds all the functions engaged in filling and receiving a
customer's request. A supply chain management can involve different
stages which include the customers, retailers, distributors or whole
sellers, manufacturers, components, and raw-material suppliers.
Previously,
the SCM was concerned with the customer's demand calculation and for
reducing the operational costs, but today, in this rapid changing
period, the supply chain helped in increasing the visibility of the
company across the networks of the supply chain and in making utmost
quality decision that proves to be highly beneficial for the
organizations.
With
the advancement in the technology, the requirement for the supply
chain management software has been the most essential software for
keeping track on all the systems of the company and organizing the
scattered data & information in an accurate and update manner
which is a necessary objective of any organization.
This
software collects and links the whole data & information
collected by the distributor management system, warehouse management
system and other communication software as well. The information of
all the systems is compiled by this software for providing a
user-friendly data that can be accessed.
Thus,
it helps in increasing the efficiency and overall output of the
organization. The supply
chain management software apparently
regulates the information flow, financial flow, and the product flow.
It not only helps in making the management better, but also leads to
the smooth and effective implementation of various operations running
the company.
