Globalization has made your market more competitive over the past years, but at the same time, it has created amaz-ing opportunities for your company to grow. However, taking advantage of these opportunities requires more flexible and more efficient management systems.

Whether your strategy is to expand into new geographic mar-kets, source new suppliers, acquire or merge with other com-panies, or improve logistics operations in the domestic mar-ket, you’ll need a management system able to handle global exchanges in a more efficient way, as well as being capable of adapting to your organization’s changes.

• Flexible inventory sourcing and allocation • Vertically integrated production• Multiple costing methods for different stock categories or

warehouses• Grading of stock items per batch/lot/bale• Unit conversions from weight to length, interface to

weighing scales• Measuring actual vs estimate and variance control• Simple or detailed authorization workflows especially for

vice• Automated landed cost calculations• Multiple currencies, languages, legislations and sites• Immediate benefits from seamlessly connecting to data
