Because of the impact of the epidemic in the first quarter of 2020, many countries, regions and companies have realized the importance of supply chains. Supply chain-related roles, such as logistics, solutions, warehouses, transportation, and other positions, have received more and more attention from us, and suppliers are an important part of the supply chain. Because the current epidemic has prevented us from being able to face-to-face contact, how to communicate acquisition and demand information to suppliers is extremely important.
The cloud meter platform has implemented the Supplier Relationship Management System (Supplier Relationship Managemant, referred to as SRM) ten years ago , which is very helpful for supply chain management and supplier management, and has extensive implementation experience. The following briefly introduces the main functions of the supplier contact management system .
The following figure shows the main functions of the SRM system , including information exchange, plans and orders, logistics, finance, acquisition and supplier management . The system covers the supply chain part (planning, logistics, warehouse), the acquisition part, the quality part and the financial part, as well as all processes of the supply chain to the supplier. The SRM system is a WEB page, and the data input and output is the enterprise's ERP system , or it is connected with the ERP system through the BARCODE system . Of course, there must be an interface between the various systems .
After the system went online, the benefits were obvious:
Improve the power of information release with suppliers. An order was released ten years ago and the supplier acknowledged the order for at least 2-3 days, and now it can basically be completed on the same day. Improve internal information exchange power. The power of communication between the plan and logistics, and the power between the plan and the finance have been greatly improved. For example, the original "three-order matching" (order, receipt and invoice) demand plan and the two parts of finance will be completed within 3-5 days. Now the single part of finance will be completed on the same day. Can be over. Increase information transparency and reduce supply chain costs. Because suppliers can see their own inventory through the system , they can control the pace and volume of shipments, and reduce inventory and transportation costs. Hope to help friends who use the SRM system ~
