SCM Software

Welcome to our SCM portal. Here you will find valuable, useful SCM software, vendors, information and links. What is SCM software? SCM software addresses one or more issues, mainly the planning, sourcing, production, delivery and return of goods. It ideally involves real-time data from all links of the chain, with the internet being the vital ingredient to greater supply chain visibility. SCM software allows companies to track demand, supply, manufacturing status, logistics and distribution of their products.

See Supply Chain Management for SCM systems which are browser-based are inherently easier to configure.

SCM System Benefits

The payoff of timely and accurate supply chain information is the ability to make or ship only as much of a product as there is a market for. This is the practice known as just-in-time manufacturing, and it allows companies to reduce the amount of inventory that they keep. This can cut costs substantially, since you no longer need to pay to produce and store excess goods. Other benefits include cost savings during product design collaboration, increased service level and productivity gains

What is in the future for SCM?

RFID technology will eventually have a huge impact, due to the mountains of data it can generate about the location of pallets, cases, cartons, totes and individual products in the supply chain.
