但首先，让我们从基本定义开始。

什么是供应链指标？

供应链指标或 KPI 是企业用来评估和优化各种供应链流程的效率和生产力的绩效指标。这些视觉信息可用于管理库存、销售、运输、供应商等。

对于您公司的供应、履行和交付工作的持续增长、演变、发展和成功，供应链绩效指标是您触手 国家明智的电话号码数据 可及的最宝贵的工具。通过收集、策划和分析关键供应链指标 (SCM)，您将能够发现生态系统中的低效率问题，同时利用您当前的优势并制定目标，帮助您的供应链规模扩大并取得公司的成功。虽然您可以选择大量KPI 示例进行评估和优化，但我们重点关注一个列表，帮助您识别潜在瓶颈并确保可持续发展。

让我们回顾一下我们的供应链 KPI 示例列表，以正确理解这一定义。

请记住： 如今，24/7/365 访问信息至关重要。尖端的在线数据分析工具将为您提供这种级别的未开发的数据驱动访问，从而在此过程中增加您的商业前景。

我们的 29 个供应链指标示例

现在您已经熟悉了官方的供应链指标定义，我们将探讨供应链管理的 29 个关键绩效指标 (KPI) 列表，这将帮助您和您的组织走向光明和繁荣的未来。

1. 现金到现金的时间周期

这个无价的 SCM 将帮助您计算将资源转化为真正的现金流所需的时间。使用三个核心比率 - 库存天数 (DOI)、应付账款天数 (DOP) 和应收账款天数 (DOR) - 现金到现金时间周期 KPI 可视化公司付款之间所需的时间段向供应商提供现金以及从客户收到现金时。转换周期越短越好，这种宝贵的见解将帮助您采取正确的措施，以更少的资金运营您的公司。

2. 运费单准确性

将您的物品从供应商运送到仓库或从仓库运送到消费者对于整个运营的成功至关重要，任何问题或错误都可能会造成时间和投资的浪费。

计费准确性对于盈利能力和客户满意度至关重要，因此跟踪此指标将帮助您发现不利趋势，提高整体运输准确性，并最终帮助您的组织发展。以下是运费单准确性的计算方法：

（无差错运费/总运费）*100

3. 完美订单率

对于许多行业的企业来说，这种特殊的见解是最重要的供应链 KPI 和指标之一。完美订单率衡量您无事故交付订单的能力，这最终将帮助您解决诸如不准确、损坏、延迟和库存损失等问题。完美订单率越高越好，因为该 KPI 直接影响您的客户保留率和忠诚度水平。

4. 应收账款周转天数 (DSO)

销售应收天数 (DSO) KPI 衡量您从客户那里收取或产生收入的速度。

从本质上讲，较低或健康的 DSO 数字意味着组织需要更少的天数来收回其应收账款。较高的 DSO 水平表明公司正在以赊销方式向客户销售产品，并且需要更长的时间才能收取有形收入，这可能会阻碍现金流并使利润最小化。通过经常计算，您将能够更快、更有效地收取收入，从长远来看，这将有助于提高您的利润。

5、库存周转率

当今最有用的供应链 KPI 之一侧重于物流 KPI，有助于了解在特定时间范围内整个库存的销售次数。它是高效生产规划、流程策略、履行能力以及成功营销和销售的令人难以置信的指标。通过计算您的准时发货率并将其与行业内的其他竞争对手进行比较，您可以创建清晰的管理报告实践，了解您的立场，并采取适当的行动来随着时间的推移进行改进。这将提高���牌权威并增加利润 - 因此这一点很重要。

6. 投资毛利率回报率（GMROI）

每家公司，无论服务、产品或行业如何，都致力于为其开展的每一项商业活动实现最佳投资回报 (ROI)。保持持续稳定的投资回报率是电子商务持续成功的基础。

GMROI 清晰地表示了库存平均投资的每一迪拉姆（或美元、英镑、欧元、₺）所获得的毛利润：通过将毛利润除以平均库存投资获得的计算结果。通过每月跟踪此 KPI，您将快速了解库存中的哪些项目表现不佳，哪些项目值得进行更多投资 - 就基于业务的信息而言，这是金粉。

7. 仓储费用

我们继续列出包含仓储成本的供应链管理 (SCM) 清单。成本分配以及库存时间和空间的管理对于建立健康的业务运营至关重要。虽然此类费用因仓库而异，但衡量该指标并定期审查以发现机会并减少不必要的成本非常重要。运营仓库设施包括各种成本，例如劳动力成本、仓库租金、水电费、设备支出、材料和信息处理系统，以及与供应、订购和存储货物相关的成本。

要保持较低的支出，首先要充分了解仓库设施的所有流程及其运作方式。这样，您将有更好的机会减少不必要的开销，并采取措施更有效地管理运营并在需要时进行调整。另外，如果您借助专业的在线报告工具定期收集信息，您将有机会依靠您的报告并做出更快、更准确的决策。

8. 供应链成本

供应链成本可应用于规划、管理团队、采购、交付等。监控这些成本将显示公司各部分的效率。对于任何组织来说，增加利润都至关重要，而降低成本是经常采用的策略之一。这样，公司就可以确定任何改进的空间，而无需在此过程中增加销售额。

然而，评估成本降低是否会产生任何意想不到的影响至关重要。例如，如果您的运输成本很高，并且您决定提高卡车的速度和重量，则可能会冒发生事故的风险，并可能对您的组织造成不利后果。您可能还记得，削减一个领域的管理费用可能会增加另一领域的管理费用，因此这部分的仔细分析至关重要。您可以进行基准测试或与竞争对手进行比较，以了解该 KPI 是否稳定、健康，或者您是否需要进行额外调整才能保持竞争力。 

如果您想了解有关公司成本和财务方面的更多信息，我们建议您阅读我们的财务图表指南。

9. 供应链成本与销售额

我们的供应链 KPI 列表继续包含与销售相关的额外成本分析。该指标基本上将您的供应链成本计算为销售额的一部分，本质上，它会告诉您相对于整体的支出有多少。通过计算此类供应链指标，您将能够执行健康的支出分析并建立潜在节省的流程。优化物流意味着尽可能地降低成本，但正如我们所提到的，重要的是在有意义的地方削减成本，而不仅仅是为了减少数量。原因很简单：如果您削减了公司其他部门相应增加的成本，那么最终结果不会产生太大影响。

要了解您是否成功地将支出与销售额进行比较，您只需研究行业基准或将您的公司与竞争对手进行比较即可。这样，您就会知道您的百分比是否太低或太高。无论如何，将您的见解与相关行业的平均水平进行比较至关重要。

10. 准时��货

使用专业的KPI 工具创建的准时发货是您向客户、顾客或合作伙伴运送特定类型的订单可能需要多长时间的绝佳指标。通过此视觉效果，您可以设置相对于每种产品的基准运输时间，从而优化您的运输和交付流程，减少周转时间并提高客户满意度。

11. 交货时间

交货时间是一个注重改善服务的指标。它测量从订单发货到交付到客户家门口的时间。订单必须正确准备并在合理的时间内到达目的地。否则，您的整体服务和给客户的印象可能会受到损害。没有人喜欢等待几天甚至几周才能收到货物。

降低供应链 KPI 并更好地通知客户何时交付货物或产品是有意义的。说明交货将在 4-5 个工作日内到达比说明 1-5 天要好得多。而且，如果你准确、精确地指定时间，客户将会有更好的体验。您还可以提供特殊的送货服务来减少时间，并了解从长远来看您的客户满意度如何提高。您甚至可以将交付指标包含在业务绩效仪表板中并更密切地监控它。 

12. 退货原因

退货原因可以敏锐地��察导致您的客户和客户退货的各种动机，这一信息对于电子商务公司的持续成功来说是���价的。以易于理解的饼图格式呈现，并重点展示退货的主要原因，您将能够评估自己的薄弱环节并做出改进，从而显着提高您的声誉和整体服务水平。通过获得这种程度的洞察力，您就有很大机会降低回报、提高利润并改善现金流。

13、存销比

我们列表中的关键供应链指标之一，库存与销售比率，对于跟踪至关重要，因为库存对于业务成功至关重要。该指标衡量待售库存量与实际售出数量的比较，以比率表示。它将帮助您调整库存以增加利润，并告诉您公司处理意外情况的能力。

为了保持健康的库存与销售比率，您需要知道如何正确平衡它。如果该比率太高，可能会影响您的库存周转率，因此平衡行为至关重要。现代仪表板制作者可以帮助您创建交互式库存可视化，该可视化将自动更新数据，以便您可以实时监控进度。此外，您将能够调整未来的策略并确保针对您的组织的最佳比率。

14.库存速度（IV）

关键的供应链 KPI、库存速度或 IV，提供了预计在下一个时期或季度内消耗的库存百分比的直观快照。

IV 的计算方法是将期初库存除以下一期间的销售预测，它是一个指标，可帮助您优化库存水平，让您有更大的机会满足消费者需求，并防止您在过多的库存水平上浪费金钱。

15. 供应库存天数

虽然这可能不是最全面或最全面的供应链衡量指标，但库存供应天数特别有用，因为它们可以为您提供相当准确的计算，如果没有库存，则缺货所需的天数没补充。

通过定期跟踪、分析和理解这些洞察流，您可以为紧急情况做好准备并避免任何基于股票的灾难，从而挽救您的声誉和现金流。

这种供应链绩效衡量将让您准确衡量您的履行周期的效率（或低效），并将其分解为特定的行。视觉效果中的每个指标都旨在量化从员工从货架上拿起物品到包装过程完成的那一刻的时间。

一旦您设定了目标并开始跟踪进度，您的供应链中的延迟或弱点就会变得清晰。因此，您可以采取有针对性的行动，将这些问题消灭在萌芽状态，从而缩短整个流程的周期时间。

17. 填充率

供应链管理指标列表中的下一个是填充率。这一重要指标将清楚地表明首次（或首次发货期间）成功履行的客户订单的比例或百分比。

用于衡量供应链进度的最流行的视觉指标之一是填充率，它与整体品牌声誉和客户满意度水平（商业增长和发展的重要驱动力）直接相关。您可以根据首次尝试交付的订单、订单行或单个项目来衡量您的填充率。如果您发现填充率存在任何差异，您可以轻松发现确切的履行因素并迅速提高填充率。

18. 按时完整交付 (OTIF)

就重要的供应链指标而言，OTIF 名列前茅，因为它可以让您全面了解在设定时间范围内的交付成功情况。按时足额交付客户的订单对于您业务的持续成功至关重要。 

根据正确的产品是否按照商定的质量标准交付、是否以正确的数量交付以及是否交付到商定的目的地等因素，该 KPI 将帮助您持续优化结果。如果您的平均 OTIF 率滞后，您可以使用此指标来查明起作用的因素，并做出战略决策来调整您的内部策略或与更可靠的供应商合作。

19. 每单位运费

数据驱动的供应链对于实现可持续改进至关重要，单位货运成本证明了这一概念。供应链管理最重要的 KPI 之一是单位运费，它量化了您运输产品的经济程度。

供应链指标仪表板中的这个特定指标将计算您的总体货运成本除以您已发货的单位数量。您可以使用与您公司相关的任何单位来评估此指标。任何低效的流程都会浪费您的时间、金钱和客户忠诚度。此 KPI 将帮助您避免此类困难。

20. 包装材料的使用

我们的供应链 KPI 清单中的下一个是包装材料的使用。低效的包装流程不仅会造成不必要的浪费，还会消耗您企业的预算。这种可扫描的视觉效果将帮助您自信地跟踪分拣和包装流程中每条生产线使用的包装材料的数量。

通过为您的包装使用情况设定目标或基准（在本例中为 300 克），您可以掌握包装使用情况，并将任何潜在问题消灭在萌芽状态。通过在包装策略失控之前重新评估它们，您可以节省资金，同时由于您新发现的可持续性而提高您的品牌声誉。

21.供应链周期时间

对于任何规模化业务来说，供应链周期时间都是一个重要指标，在跟踪端到端效率时非常有说服力。从本质上讲，这种强大的视觉信息可以深入了解如果您的库存水平为零，则需要多长时间才能完成客户的订单。

您的周期越短，您的链条就越敏捷、适应性强和高效。通过经常跟踪该指标，您可以克服任何拖慢流程的潜在障碍，并采取有针对性的行动。

22. 无损交付

无论您经营什么商品或产品，一定程度的产品损失损坏都是不可避免的。���当情况开始失控时，预算和客户关系可能会变得紧张。使用正确的信息对于密切关注交付流程并将运输途中的产品损坏降至最低至关重要。

对于企业来说，最重要的供应链绩效指标之一 是无损交付，这将使您准确了解有多少包裹完好无损地到达目的地。您可以查明问题所在（从麻烦的履行合作伙伴或交付提供商到糟糕的产品包装），并使用基于实时和历史趋势的见解将其消灭在萌芽状态。

23. 库存天数销售 (DSI)

在我们供应链管理的基本 KPI 清单中，下一个是库存天数或 DSI。这种精明的供应链KPI 仪表板洞察力将帮助您计算您的产品或库存在特定时间范围内的库存天数。

此信息很有价值，因为它使您能够确定您的销售和推销工作的有效性，以及您的库存购买流程与客户的需求或偏好相关的成功程度。如果您发现 DSI 上涨，您可以深入研究原因并制定策略，让您的股票迅速售罄。

24. 收益指数（TEI）

如果您希望牢牢掌握组织使用库存的情况，则可以考虑这种最具洞察力的供应链效率指标。周转收益指数 (TEI) 将毛利率和库存周转率结合起来，以磨练组织的库存管理方法。在这里，您将了解如何利用与持续利润相关的库存，如果您想创造长期增长，这一点至关重要。

定期跟踪这种洞察力将使您清楚地了解库存需要多高或多低才能产生可​​观的利润，为您提供调整流程和策略以实现最大效率的工具。官方给出的公式如下，供大家参考：

周转盈利指数=（存货周转率×毛利率）×100

根据经验，大多数跨行业企业将 TEI 基准设置为至少 150。

25. 准确记录订单

每份订单都附有从安全数据表到客户信息的文档。虽然这些文档的性质可能会根据订单的不同而有所不同，但所有文档的完整、准确和可用非常重要。公司可以使用准确记录的订单指标（最重要的供应链指标之一）来衡量这一点。它使用这个公式：

准确记录的订单 = [（订单总数 - 没有准确记录的订单）/订单总数] x 100

公司可以将此指标与完美订单率、准时交货率、完整交货率和无损坏交货率结合使用，以全面了解其运营情况。

26. 手头几个月

现有月数指标表示假设销售按预测进行，企业无需购买额外库存即可维持运营的月数。它是使用以下公式计算的：

库存月数=（当年平均库存/一年销售成本）x 12

该指标可帮助企业评估其库存策略并制定潜在中断计划。较高的现有月数值表明企业拥有相对于其销售额更多的库存，表明潜在的库存过剩，而较低的值可能表明存在缺货风险，这可能无法满足客户需求。

27. 停留时间

停留时间（也称为滞留时间）是指司机等待接送订单的时间。它可以每天以小时���单位来衡量，如上图所示。

跟踪该指标非常重要，因为它可以表明您的仓库操作在装卸订单方面的效率。多种因素可能导致停留时间过长，例如劳动力不足、订单未按时准备好或需要小心装载的复杂订单。了解这些情有可原的情况可以帮助公司找到可行的解决方法。

28. 拖车利用率

顾名思义，拖车利用率是指您的货物所占用的拖车空间的百分比。在上面的示例中，该指标是按月测量的。每平方英寸都很重要，因为任何未使用的空间都可能会造成收入机会的损失。

该供应链效率指标强调优化卡车装载能力的重要性，以避免过度补偿、燃料成本和车队不必要的磨损。定期监控有助于最大限度地发挥拖车潜力，同时通过有效的规划最大限度地减少费用。例如，根据拖车利用率评估物流可以揭示潜在的成本节省，例如意识到在某些月份只需要 50% 的可用拖车，从而显着降低成本。

29. 运输费用

监控整个订单履行流程的成本对于供应链优化至关重要。平均运输成本提供了从下订单到交付所产生的费用的总体评估。

在此示例中，我们将运输成本分为不同的类别：订单处理、管理、库存运输、仓储和运输。通过计算和评估每个阶段的百分比，企业可以查明过高的成本并确定它们是否符合行业规范。按产品对运输成本进行更深入的分析还可以将产品与其产生的收入进行比较，这可以为企业的盈利能力增加更多背景。

从配送和运输部分开始，由专业仪表板创建者生成的模板显示了按时交货、拖车利用率和相关成本的数据。在这里，我们可以看到运输成本的积极发展，但过去三周的准时交货趋势令人担忧。看到这些高峰和低谷将引起首席运营官的注意，并向他们展示需要在哪里努力。

转向库存部分，数据显示与前一周相比表现不佳的 KPI，例如缺货率上升。并排查看这些指标可以强调这些数据的相互关联性以及一个领域如何影响另一个领域。例如，较高的缺货率可能是最近几周准时交货减少的罪魁祸首。

在订单管理部分，我们看到完美订单率和拣选准确性大多为正数，尽管订单履行可能会略有延迟。这些见解转化为财务部分，首席运营官可以在财务部分分析整个供应链流程的财务结果。尽管由于分销、运输和库存问题，本周的开工率增长了 4.8%，但毛利率依然强劲，表明这些问题并不严重。

为什么供应链指标很重要？

现在我们已经介绍了供应链关键绩效指标示例以及使它们栩栩如生的仪表板，我们将通过回答以下问题进行反思：为什么它们很重要？

出于多种原因，基于供应链的指标对于公司的核心履行和物流战略至关重要。事实上，研究表明，到 2027 年，供应链分析市场的价值预计将达到 168.2 亿美元。这是因为使用分析进行决策有助于企业提高运营、战略和战术效率。

以下是 KPI 跟踪在供应链管理中如此重要的主要好处和原因：

沟通与凝聚力

商业成功的关键之一是沟通。一旦参与流程的每个人都更深入地了解自己的角色，同时获得最大限度发挥潜力所需的信息，供应链机器中的每个齿轮都将变得更顺畅、更经济、更可靠。

Gross Margin Return on Investment

Assume a textile retailer reaps a gross profit of Rs 42 crores, and the cost of goods sold (COGS) when the financial year ends is Rs 8 crores. Then, the textile shop's gross margin = (42-8) = 34 crores. The textile shop has an average inventory cost of 6 crores. Therefore, the textile has a GMROI = Gross Margin/average inventory cost (34/6) = 5.66 It means the textile retailer sells their goods for a markup value of Rs. 5.60 for every rupee invested in inventory.

Michael Bierut on process

“What would happen, I wonder, if I actually told the truth about what happens in a design process? It might go something like this:

When I do a design project, I begin by listening carefully to you as you talk about your problem and read whatever background material I can find that relates to the issues you face. If you’re lucky, I have also accidentally acquired some firsthand experience with your situation. 

Somewhere along the way an idea for the design pops into my head from out of the blue. I can’t really explain that part; it’s like magic. Sometimes it even happens before you have a chance to tell me that much about your problem! 

Now, if it’s a good idea, I try to figure out some strategic justification for the solution so I can explain it to you without relying on good taste you may or may not have. Along the way, I may add some other ideas, either because you made me agree to do so at the outset, or because I’m not sure of the first idea. 

At any rate, in the earlier phases hopefully I will have gained your trust so that by this point you’re inclined to take my advice. I don’t have any clue how you’d go about proving that my advice is any good except that other people — at least the ones I’ve told you about — have taken my advice in the past and prospered. In other words, could you just sort of, you know...trust me?”

Discussions of creative process always make me think of this. And of Robert Duncan’s GMROI workflow diagram — 

[dippedanddripped]

In my 30+ years in retail, I’ve seen merchants weather a lot of storms, from the advent of e-commerce and the growing competition it brought with it, to the great recession that took us years to recover from. But this latest threat— the sudden and precipitous drop in business due to store closures amid the pandemic— represents a very different challenge and an opportunity. In a way, it serves as an enormous stress test on our businesses, showing us where we can strengthen our merchandising practices, and build stronger operations in the long run.

At the end of April, Blacks surveyed dozens of specialty store owners across the country and what we discovered was enlightening. Even though these merchants were going through an incredibly difficult time, they were also finding reserves of creativity and thoughtful introspection, propelling them forward. Some key goals they want to focus on now: rebuilding their cash reserves, putting more disciplined merchandising practices into place to be able to rebuild, buying closer to season, holding back more open-to-buy for in-season purchases, and committing to never being overbought.

When it comes to building cash reserves, our suggested strategy is twofold:

Step 1. An in-depth evaluation of where you are now, and an estimation of where you will be in twelve months, based on available information. For this, Blacks uses a proprietary process called “Clear View.” Once the evaluation is complete, you ask the question: “Does the outcome meet my cash reserve goals”? If the answer is yes, go to Step 2. If the answer is no, re-evaluate the inputs you used in the initial evaluation and rebuild the strategy.

Step 2. Do an analysis of your vendors, categories, and classes to see which are producing the highest returns. Then adjust your OTB to funnel money into the fastest-growing opportunities. During the rebuilding phase, it’s important to focus on quick sell-throughs, since increasing sell-through rates increases turn, which is the strongest influencing factor in gross margin return on investment (GMROI). GMROI is a leading indicator of cash reserve development. One of the processes Blacks uses is a formula that we call “ACID Analysis.” It looks at your purchase history to evaluate sell-through by class, so we can determine new opportunities to drive your inventory down and free up cash.

Of course, another part of building up cash reserves is controlling your expenses, whether it be discounts on rent, or cutting back on travel and payroll. Almost all the retailers we surveyed say they plan to scrutinize their expenses while looking for profit opportunities.

I realize we’re in stressful times and it can be hard for merchants to step back from day-to-day demands and commit to realigning their businesses, but I promise it will pay off. Specialty stores that were the most disciplined going into this crisis are having a far easier time getting through it because they have tighter control of their inventory and larger cash reserves.

As many survey respondents noted, the lesson here is that cash is king. So, let’s work on generating cash.

Top 6 Features to Look For In An Inventory Software in Pakistan

Erpisto #1 Inventory Software in Pakistan Many businesses have moved away from an inventory management system that only kept records and reported on inventory to a more strategic inventory requirement to plan, fill customer orders, improve profitability, and project and fulfill them. How can you choose the right solution for your business from all of the available options? What features should you look for?

Erpisto #1 Inventory Software in Pakistan

Supply Chain is a critical component

Inventory is also known as merchandise or product. It refers to the finished goods and materials that a company holds in order to sell to customers in future. These materials and goods are only used for profit by the business. Inventory Software in Pakistan is often one of the most valuable assets in a company's books.

Inventory management systems allow you to purchase product, analyze sales trends, and determine on-hand inventory availability. You can also liquidate product for wholesalers, distributors, and manufacturing companies. Supply Chain Management is incomplete without inventory management.

The purchasing department is responsible to order new products and acquire the product from wholesalers and distributors. Merchants (buyers), or inventory control personnel, are responsible for purchasing and reordering inventory in retailers and ecommerce businesses.

Strategic choice: The inventory system

There are literally hundreds of available inventory management systems when you search online for them. You may find many different inventory systems that may not be suitable for your business if you do a general search. Software that is not needed can include software used to manufacture raw materials or work-in-process inventory, maintain WMS Inventory Software in Pakistan, forecasting and planning which require an inventory control system. Also standalone systems for websites and retail points of sale.

It is important to understand the history of the system and the number of users that are currently using it. This will help you choose the best system for your company. Does the software meet your needs for manufacturing, wholesale, distribution, and direct marketing? These industries have very different application designs and strengths.

Inventory control methods need to change as a business grows more online or retail-oriented. Instead of managing inventory through a "back office" application, which records on-hand and vendor orders sales, a customer-facing application will do so. An inventory control system that is customer-facing will provide information about SKU availability by location, delivery dates, and other relevant data to web sites, DCs, and retail shops to fulfill customer orders. Ensure that you ask key questions regarding inventory control when searching for a system and preparing a Request For Proposal.

Six key inventory management features

Based on 34 years of experience as a fulfillment and inventory management consultant in many different product categories, these are the six most important features you need to consider when choosing a system.

1. Improved inventory control and forecasting/projection

This should be on your top list, no matter how simple it may sound. What will this system do to manage and control Inventory Software in Pakistan? These are some key questions that will help you think about the major functions and features of this new system:

Is the SKU master file robust? This is a great place to begin the evaluation of systems. What data are available for each SKU?

Is the system able to project or forecast demand for a SKU? The system will calculate the required quantity of a product over a time period. It is crucial to determine when a product will be "stocked out" using selling plans, rates of sales, and project demand. This information is based on the vendor lead times and these rates of sales. Is the item's history available for multiple years?

The system will provide a view of all channels in your multichannel business such as wholesale and ecommerce. Is the system able to provide sales, customer demand, orders, and stock by channel for promotional products and events, such as catalogs, web promos, and clearance sales.

How efficient are the purchasing and analysis functions to place purchase orders? How do you support purchasing budgets? Is the system able to support retail sales, stock planning, and Open-To-Buy?

Start by defining your system's main requirements at a high level. These basic Inventory Software in Pakistan requirements will guide your Request for Proposal (RFP). The RFP should detail the functionality of the RFP at a low-level, including:

Track raw material and finished products for manufacturers

Track lot numbers, FDA, recall

Support for kitting and costing kits from labor and components

2. Abarcode

 It is a machine-readable, visual representation of data. It is basically electronic data entry via a scanner. The barcode data is usually tied to a number such as a lot number, SKU, customer shipment or purchase order. This data can be accessed once the barcode has been scanned. The user can then view it and take action.

WMS vendors may offer bar code functions, but Inventory Software in Pakistan apps must support their use.

3. Improved and actionable inventory analysis

There are literally hundreds of thousands to thousands data elements in inventory management software. How do these "out-of-the-box" inventory management analysis fit with your way of managing inventory? What are the key metrics that management can use to measure inventory, such as inventory turnover by product/SKU or gross margin return on investment (GMROI)?

The second is how useful is the data. Due to the number of products and SKUs companies have, purchasing and merchandising departments need to find time for the necessary actions and keep their responsibilities in check. How actionable is the data dashboard? Is the system able to point the purchasing agent and inventory manager to the products they should be pursuing? Will the system alert you to potential stock outs, calculate recommended purchase orders and suggest candidates for liquidation? These management tools will be required if the system is not already developed.

What systems can be used to support the ad-hoc research of merchants and purchasing functions? These include data elements for primary or secondary vendors of a product, department and categorization; and the ability to place merchant-driven characteristics on product records in notes and data analysis.

4. Configurability

This allows for two systems to be configured simultaneously, allowing each company/business to have a unique "look and feel". This allows for more complete systems to be implemented across different industries and merchandise, without the need for customization.

Configurability is a feature that all systems possess to some extent. But what can it do for you? Here are some examples of configuration:

You can configure a product with different sizes and colors to show total product sales or stock on hand by style, base product, and SKU.

Role (group of users) and individual configuration table of users allow for the setting-up of data security functions within an organization to update or view data.

Flexibility to control different types of hardware and interfaces that are connected to the inventory management software.

Adoption of your detailed expense accounting system.

5.Integration and Interfaces

Are there any key interfaces or integrations that are required in order to get the most important functionalities of your project from one source (e.g. ERP, WMS)? What additional systems are required? How much is the implementation cost? Here are some considerations.

Relationship between primary and secondary data Two systems are often used in different environments: Inventory Management Systems (IMS) and Warehouse Management Systems(WMS). Both systems must be tightly connected to ensure that they are in synch both from a timing and data perspective. Many companies have found that the Inventory Management acts as the primary inventory management system. The WMS is the "secondary," which receives and controls data from the inventory management software. Some vendors offer both inventory management and WMS within one application.

Assist customers in selling or facing problems As we discussed, which retail, point-of-sale, and website integrations are necessary?

Other interfaces. These systems could include data analytics and planning systems, dimensional/weighing, and interfaces for UPC product code and data. Financial reporting requires interfacing with corporate accounting systems. Interfaces allow you to view data related to inventory costing methods, such as average cost and layered FIFO costs, and retail method.

6. Many companies find cloud-based or Software as a Service (SaaS), subscriptions to Inventory Software in Pakistan cheaper than traditional on-premise implementations. This is because they are based upon data storage usage and user count. Because they require less IT time, implementations can be completed in a shorter period of time. What is the best IT strategy for your company's needs?

Conclusion

6 essential features of an inventory control solution

1. Inventory management

Inventory management allows you to build and manage your business and eCommerce in multiple locations. This feature centralizes your most essential and basic warehouse functionality by tracking all inventory details like stock levels, stock history, and other product specifications in different locations at the same time.

Learn more details about inventory management with our guide for SMEs inventory management.

Benefits:

Break down data silos by synchronizing inventory data with all other inventory features in the business operation system. It means that all functional departments can use the same source of information, which guarantees collaboration among your team at a much higher level than they do with their individual systems. Fostering collaboration among members can in turn improve productivity.

Integrate with other software and pull data from other parts of the system, such as paperless invoicing and purchase orders

System requirements checklist:

Product category

Product measurement

Product history

Stock inquiries

2. Inventory tracking

Inventory tracking, or traceability, helps you monitor the status and movement of products and materials in the supply chain. When you need to find a product again, for example, inventory tracking helps you find the exact required item. Without inventory tracking, you’ll run the risk of having to search all items and waste your valuable time.

Benefits:

Keep track of every movement of your inventory. Many inventory control solutions allow you to track your inventory by SKUs, serial numbers, RFID tags, and barcodes, etc. It audits and monitors inventory data from the time when the stock is first entered into your inventory.

Reduce labor movement in your warehouse to increase productivity and cut down costs. The inventory tracking feature of some Magento inventory control solutions is integrated with an optimized “Pick and Pack” process. When holding the product in hand, you can quickly scan the tracking tags on the product. From there, inventory tracking will let you know the location of your stock, then helps you optimize the pick and pack process by creating efficient suggestions for your employees to reach the stock location.

Eliminate manual and time-consuming jobs by applying automation to inventory tracking. Some inventory control systems automatically generate tracking numbers right when you create receipts or invoices, saving valuable time and effort.

Deliver better service levels and increase customer relationships by combining integration with both third-party logistics providers (3PLs) and email solutions. By doing this, you can share your customers the email or SMS about the shipped stock and estimated delivery time with a tracking link.

System requirements checklist:

Stock tracking

Advanced inventory tagging

Inventory tracking reports and audits

How different is Retail Supply Chain? Can I directly apply?

The terms, methods, processes, performance indicators are different from manufacturing SCM and working in B2C environment requires some additional knowledge.

 For example, GMROI. It is a financial ratio that assesses a buyer’s contribution to ROA is Gross Margin Return On Inventory investment (GMROI, typically pronounced “jim-roy”)

 It measures how many gross margin dollars are earned on every dollar of inventory investment made by the buyer. GMROI combines gross margin

 • Accurately forecast sales and needed inventory levels for each category and SKU.

 • Monitor sales to detect deviations from the forecast.

 • Transport the right amount of merchandise from the DCs to each store.

 • Make sure that accurate information is available that indicates where the merchandise is—in the vendor’s warehouse, the DC, the store, sold to customer, or in transit.

 • Place accurate, timely orders with vendors.

 • Replenish merchandise from DCs with the right quantities when the stores need it.

 • Ensure that buyers and marketing managers coordinate merchandise delivery with special sales and promotional materials.
