How SaaS in Supply Chain is Cost Effective? | LoadProof

 


This is an important decision that needs to be made, while deciding between SAAS and On-Premise option. Even though it seems like everyone is embracing SAAS, but still there are enterprises that are looking at this as a big step. Traditionally the large enterprises have always harbored their data within their IT infrastructure with all kinds of security that encompassed multiple layers of encryption, protection, masking etc., with multiple levels of approval processes and hierarchy-based authorizations etc. So, it is a big step to break away from that culture and getting into a SAAS approach. SAAS has several advantages over the traditional on-premise applications that are listed below.

  1. Helps make budgeting simpler.
  2. Easy to configure and use.
  3. No huge upfront costs.
  4. Predictable costs.
  5. Shortens the implementation time for projects
  6. Highly scalable, with cloud you pay only for what you use, you can even automatically upgrade to next plan when you exhaust resources in current plan.
  7. Although limited, customization is comparatively inexpensive.
  8. Upgrades are mostly included, not charged separately.
  9. SaaS can be deployed even without the involvement of the IT staff.
  10. Better integration with other systems.
  11. Automatic data backup.
  12. Enhanced data security, many providers use SSAE 16 (SAS 70) audit controls.

Optimize Your Warehouse Replenishments with these Best Practices | LoadProof

  This best practice is about making  replenishments  inside the warehouse. It is important to stay on the top off replenishments always in your warehouse. If you have just one shift that you are running it would help a lot. If you spend extra hours in the evening and then do the topping off all your active locations it will be helpful for the pickers in the next shift. In the next morning when the pickers come after all the locations will be full and they can start picking right away without wasting time in replenishments. If you have two shifts running either choose the second shift or have a third shift if possible and keep doing the top off replenishments. There are active replenishment locations and these active locations have Min and Max. Whenever your inventory falls below min, replenishments are going to get triggered or it will get triggered if there is an order that needs a lot of picks from a particular location. This will drive the location down which will tri...

3PL Panacea: The Flexible Mobile Supply Chain Platform | LoadProof

  The third-party logistics (3PL) business is tough, because it covers a wide gamut of service offerings, that include some combination of: Just move my boxes and/or pallets. Move my boxes and/or pallets and store them in your warehouse. Move my boxes and/or pallets and operate my facility. Own all the labor and activities in my facility. Offer all distribution services for my product (All I will do is download my orders into your system/supply chain). I’ve even run into more complicated models of operation, including both tightly and loosely coupled models.  In a tightly-coupled model, the supply chain systems of the 3PL, including orders, inventory, transportation, advanced shipment notices, purchase orders, and more, are tightly integrated into the shipper’s supply chain systems. All this information seamlessly flows between both supply chain systems of the 3PL and the shipper. They stay in synch with each other and the parties perform the functions in their respective syst...
