Unlock supply chain power

According to the survey, 28% use standard accounting software, perhaps with ‘bolt-on’ modules and almost half are to some extent reliant on nothing more sophisticated than spreadsheets to control this complex activity.

Ian Roper, divisional director for Supply Chain Solutions at Access Group, said: “Faced with ever more complex challenges, Supply Chain Management (SCM) must still control costs, drive efficiency throughout the chain, control and minimise inventory, deliver a speedy and accurate response to customer requirements, and leverage purchasing power while improving supplier relationships. It is therefore vital that organisations seek to invest in acquiring, updating or replacing Supply Chain Management solutions.”
