You Can Increase Your Company’s Cash Flow to Monitor Purchasing, Production, and Warehousing

November 15, 2011

Integrated data tools like ours let you monitor your business in real time. This is critical when you’re looking for ways to increase cash flow. After all, increasing sales isn’t the only way to increase the assets that you have available.

In addition to monitoring your accounts payable and receivable, managers and executives who are using our solution within their organizations are able to:

-Evaluate supplier relationships. The more that you know about the costs of working with various suppliers, the terms of your purchasing agreements, surcharges, and minimums, the better the position that you’ll be in to negotiate. Whether you opt to work with a supplier who offers better terms or request a better arrangement with current suppliers, having all of the right data available allows you to identify ways to cut costs.

-Identify wasteful spending associated with production. By using our solution to monitor production costs, you will identify other ways of saving and increase the amount of cash you have on hand for other necessary spending.

-Identify excess warehousing costs. When you store product prior to shipping, you have overhead. Some of this may be able to be avoided by changing the date you receive product from suppliers, minor adjustments to the production schedule, or be based on where you store your manufactured products. By monitoring these costs over time, you can identify and eliminate waste.

By taking advantage of our solution, you will not only be able to monitor your company’s spending habits in one area, but across the board. As a result, you will have an increased likelihood of identifying waste and finding alternative ways of meeting your needs.

Pursuing opportunities to save – especially when you are able to predict the impact of your options and avoid making decisions that will harm your business – allows managers and executives to take control. If you’re looking to increase cash flow within your company, this awareness is essential.

SAP Business One Streamlines Your Business and Lets You Focus on Growth

October 13, 2011

Whether you own or simply manage a small business, making sure that you have access to the right data is always important. If the company you’re involved with is in an expansion period, however, having this data is critical.

Tools like SAP Business One allow you to monitor your business on a variety of levels. It allows you to access:

  • Financial management tools. As a result, you will be able to automate financial reporting, integrate data from all departments, and know that you’re staying on top of payables and receivables so that you’re always on top of company cash flow.
  • Improved customer relationships. With CRM components included in SAP Business One, you’ll be able to evaluate relationships, identify marketing strategies that are effective, manage leads, improve customer service, and ensure repeat business.
  • Storage and production environments to ensure that you have the increased product that you need – but not so much that you increase warehousing costs.
  • In-depth reports based on real-time information. This, of course, allows you to defend your decisions, bring others on board, and continually position the company for continuing growth.

By enabling you to manage finances, customer relationships, supplier information, and production environments, you will be able to keep your finger on the pulse of your growing company. By creating effective reports, you will find yourself in a position to track your progress and communicate goals and strategies to other members of your team.

The more that you are able to streamline processes and increase efficiency, the faster that you’ll see progress toward your business goals. SAP Business One can help you access the information you need to make your vision for company expansion a reality.


You Can Manage Supplier Relationships and Increase Cash Flow More Effectively

September 28, 2011

In business, relationships matter. The right connections definitely have a positive impact on your bottom line.

Many times, managers, directors, and executives focus their efforts on evaluating and improving customer relationships. If you are looking to improve cash flow within your company, however, you will want to take a look at another type of relationship as well: supplier relationships. With supplier relationship management (SRM), you will be able to evaluate your current arrangements and identify ways to save.

Our software has an SRM component that can help you better manage supplier relationships. As a result, you can improve cash flow for your organization by:

  • Taking monitoring purchases to ensure that the best practices and guidelines you’ve established are being followed in all departments and in all locations – whether those locations are in the same building or across the country.
  • Compare the costs of working with various suppliers so that you can either negotiate better deals or choose to do more business with one provider than others.
  • Evaluate supplies in versus storage costs and production needs so that your company is not in a position that involves storing excess components well before they are needed for the manufacturing process.

What you will find is that by monitoring purchases, supply costs and storage, and the processes that you have put into place to manage them, you are able to focus on buying the right parts at the right time from the right supplier. By factoring these results into more general reports and ensuring that staff across all departments are on board and following established procedures, you’ll know that you are doing all that you can to reduce costs and save money.

As a result of using tools like ours with the supplier relationship management component, you will be able to access the business data you need and focus on what matters most: running your business.

You Can Monitor Data in Real Time and Make Better Decisions

August 22, 2011

In business, clarity is important. Knowing which production lines are outperforming others, understanding which members of your sales team are the most convincing and are driving the bottom line, and identifying which supplier relationships are the most beneficial to your company all can help you to make better decisions. The key, of course, is ensuring that you have access to timely, accurate data.

We can help you to get a clearer picture of your company’s performance. Our solutions can ensure that staff members within your company are able to access information about every area of your business. As a result, you will be in a better position to:

  • Identify the most successful supplier relationships based on current pricing, delivery options, minimum purchase requirements, and overall costs.
  • Review marketing campaign information to determine which messages “speak” effectively to your customers and prospects so that you can strengthen messaging and increase sales.
  • Track production numbers, compare production lines, and more to ensure that you are developing products at the right pace and minimizing costs.
  • Set up automated reports based on the key data that matters the most to you – which allows you to react quickly if something is amiss.
  • Work with the figures in front of you to answer challenging questions, create effective presentations, and report on your company’s data in a way that drives progress and enables your company to reach short and long term goals.

By utilizing a tool that allows you to access all of the data for your business, you will be able to see the impact of your decisions more clearly. By accessing data in real time, you can be sure that your suggestions – and the projected risks and gains – are based on current information rather than data that was outdated before you began. Additionally, by creating actionable reports and effective presentations, not only will you be able to discover the path to growing our business, but also you will be positioned to get the rest of your team on board.

Using SAP Business One to Improve Efficiency and Make Data-Driven Decisions

July 20, 2011

How efficient is your business? Would it be possible to reduce storage costs if you were to adjust your production schedule? Are you timing shipments from your suppliers so that you receive parts or tools right when you need them? Are you marketing to your customers or clients at the times when they are most likely to make a purchase?

Production, purchasing, and sales: improving the timing of all of these things can serve to ensure that you are able to grow your business. Each element, when functioning with maximum efficiency, has the potential to cut your company’s costs – and, as a result, improve your organization’s bottom line.

However, in order to determine where your company is already performing efficiently and to identify areas where there is room for improvement, having access to the right data is essential. Monitoring your production line and considering storage and shipping costs can help you to manufacture products just in time – reducing the costs associated with warehousing or, on the opposite end of the spectrum if products are not ready on time, the costs of expedited shipping. Evaluating your supplier relationships can help you to identify whether you are purchasing with the right frequency and help you to identify opportunities to lower costs. Knowing when your customers are most likely to buy and timing marketing messages effectively can help to increase sales.

Ultimately though, in order to make improvements in any of these areas, you need to know how you are doing now. Especially when your business is in a growth period, having access to data and information that is accurate and current prepares you to make the right adjustments – and avoid the risk of making a costly mistake.

Some tools allow you to access financials, supplier information, details about your production line, and data related to marketing and customer buying trends. With this information, you will have the power to fully understand your business and to chart the course from where you are to where you want to be. SAP Business One provides you with the data you need to analyze your situation in real-time, weigh the benefits and risks of decisions, and track your successes as you strengthen your organization.

Last week VEITS Group and BEACON Technology Resources had the opportunity to exhibit at the 2011 Columbus Chamber B2B Expo. The Columbus Chamber B2B Expo is one of the largest business to business trade shows in Columbus, Ohio. The B2B Expo was a great place to network and learn about other companies’ products and servces. We felt both our companies certainly got  value out of the expo, and also had the opportunity to meet some really great people, as well! Our entire team had a fantastic time, and we plan on trying to make it back to the B2B Expo again next year.
