This man’s brain both gives and receives instructions. As he feels pain, he both reacts to avoid it and repair the injury. He procures resources and materials to fulfill his needs. As he sees a hurdle ahead, he prepares himself to act. He is constantly aware of his abilities as well as his limitations. If you need to know if he can perform, ask him ... or test him ...

In the same way that the seamless integration of countless nerve endings, blood vessels, bones and muscles provide a constant bidirectional flow of information and resources, so Microsoft Dynamics AX integrates all facets of your operations, providing a deep level of visibility and control, and a single source of truth.

This individual need not wait for a study or report to know whether he is capable of taking on the next challenge and neither should you ...

The buying and selling of raw materials and commodities is a complex business. There are many factors that can directly impact the profitability of a trade - some factors are within organisational control, but other factors such as strong weather conditions, are outside an organisation’s control. It is therefore essential that a company manages and controls those factors it can directly influence. Key areas to manage include contract logistics, contract related costs and management of risk positions.

Successful trading (and manufacturing) organisations need immediate access to accurate and up to date information related to these key areas. The challenge is finding the most effective way to achieve visibility of all trading and logistics information to all departments. Information needs to flows seamlessly from one department to another – from trading to logistics, to finance – resulting in improved efficiency and communication.

Some key business processes supporting commodity traders industries include:

• High Visibility

• Minimise risk by hedging physical contracts with futures contracts - blanket hedge etc.

• Track contracts through the full life cycle

• Time saving contract recording and administration

• Trades in any currency; financials in your currency

• Compare contracts with daily market prices

Commodity TradingFor manufacturers there are a number of mandatory things an ERP solution must deliver, raw material procurement, lot traceability, quality control, product innovation, batch control, shelf-life management and recipe control (for FMCG goods) just to name a few…

With Scalable’s Dynamics AX solution we have all this and more, enabling manufacturers to stay ahead of the competition. In a fiercely competitive industry, efficiency is the key to maximising profitability. Bottlenecks which appear in the Supply Chain as early as the procurement process have a domino effect throughout the remainder of the Supply Chain. These bottlenecks can severely impact planning, production and delivery schedules and cause devastating cost overruns and delays.

We can provide the key to unlocking the full potential of your supply chain and assist you in maximising profits and customer satisfaction while minimising risk, expenditure, error and waste.

Key business processes for Manufacturers include:

• Discrete and Process manufacturing solutions

• Support for lean manufacturing principles

• Multi site planning and manufacturing

• Dynamic and responsive shop floor control

• Wireless warehousing

• Demand forecasting

• Advanced production scheduling

Manufacturing

The distribution industry in Australia is dominated by the ‘majors’. Though they are the most demanding of customers, without the volume of business the ‘majors’ drive, survival is difficult. Dealing with the ‘majors’ is an art form in itself.

The battle for shelf space has come down to the companies that can deliver on time, all the time. Your solution needs to manage expiry dates, delivery control and all the aspects of EDI transactions that drive this highly sought after relationship.

Scalable and Microsoft Dynamics AX provide a complete solution for Australian distribution companies who not only want to stay in the game, but dominate it.

Distribution-specific capabilities include:

• EDI document control

• Warehouse management

• Landed Cost

• Shipment tracking

• Supply chain planning

• Customer and Vendor Rebates

• Product information management

• Transport Management
