Supply Chain Management ERP Software

Depending on the sector you are in, the length of the supply chain will vary, but the need to manage it effectively remains the same. The challenge is to retain and grow your business by meeting customer demands and optimizing stock levels, while providing customers with accurate status information and a high quality of service.

WinMan provides supply chain specialists with all the modern tools needed to manage the purchase and delivery receipts against demand for single or multiple site scenarios.

Our intuitive ERP system will be able to highlight inventory shortages before they cause an issue. To help prevent issues, the system can drive demand through forecast data, use MRP to suggest optimum orders based on supplier lead times and minimum quantity metrics, and utilize supplier shutdown calendar information such as Chinese New Year or Christmas. If issues do occur, the system enables easy resolution such as alternative supplier or fast track transport.

Any supplier returns in the supply chain can be logged and monitored within the system. Managers will be able to pull performance reports for supplier reviews and store all contracts against the supplier contract records.

For companies with suppliers abroad, WinMan's Container Planning function enables purchasers to optimize transport costs and product mixes for either individual or multiple global suppliers based on the data. Both the currency rates and landed costs can be logged into the ERP system for actual batch costing and profit margin calculations.

WinMan can support complex purchase projects including new product development, tasks and deadlines. For these situations the system supports product sign-off, first off manufacturing accepted and hazard certifications.

For more than ten years, the highly functional and versatile WinMan ERP system has provided the cornerstone for our successful growth, and we are particularly proud to have grown to become no.1 in the UK marketplace by supplying our acclaimed steel access covers and grilles which are 100% British made. WinMan is as important to us as ever, now that we are aiming our innovative products not only at the home market but also at foreign countries planning serious investment in new infrastructure.

Our WinMan ERP system allows me to directly and quickly access the management information I need to run the business – real-time reporting of key performance indicators such as operating efficiencies and deliveries. Vitally, more consistent pricing gives a truer margin on the work we perform. Meanwhile the system has supported our company’s strategy of investment for growth and its ability to meet delivery promises, hence strengthening its reputation in the marketplace as a reliable and trustworthy supplier. An accurate delivery date to the nearest day can now be assigned by our sales administration staff within half-an-hour of an order being placed. We proudly meet over 99% of those dates.

As a director of the business it was important to me that the system we implemented not only met our functional requirements, but also came from a supplier that was prepared to take on single source responsibility. Of all of the companies we evaluated, WinMan were the only one that ticked all the boxes.

The underlying advantage of WinMan for John Sankey was its flexibility and the ease with which it could be tailored to suit the company’s specific needs.

Our objective was to streamline data processing and substantially reduce keystrokes – a 50% reduction was the minimum target – and a lot of that keystroking was to do with assignment. The more non-value-adding activity we can take out the better.
