In today’s fast-paced and ever-changing economy, manufacturers are feeling the pressure to keep up. Some of the biggest challenges they face are material handling delays that lead to production downtime and shipping delays. When materials aren’t in the right place at the right time, it can cause massive delays and affect profitability. That’s why more and more businesses are looking to streamline their operations with mobile ERP solutions.
With the right tools in place, you can reduce or even eliminate material handling and production delays, saving your business time and money.
Devices such as barcode scanners, for example, can be the starting point of your ERP mobility and automation journey. By installing scanners on your shop floor, and integrating their output with your ERP, you can quickly and easily track inventory levels, identify errors, and prevent production delays.
And that is just the beginning. With the right devices and software in place, many of the operations that are currently done manually – from inbound receiving and inventory management to production line replenishment to shipment picking and packing – can be performed in much less time.
The benefits of ERP mobility are clear. But what about the cost? Many businesses worry that enhancing their ERP with mobility will be expensive and complicated.
However, with the right partner, it can be quite affordable – and the return on investment (ROI) can be significant. When you consider the cost of downtime, lost productivity, and rework due to errors in manual operations, an ERP mobility project will pay for itself quickly in cost savings.
Don’t wait – the sooner you add mobility to your ERP, the sooner you’ll start seeing bottom-line improvements.
