slide 1: RPA Solutions: Setting the Supply Chain Management
Costs Right
The supply chain is the backbone of any economy. But it has costs that
make it an expensive affair. Nevertheless the fact that a well-maintained
supply chains fosters operational efficiency communication as well as
decision making renders it something worth investing in. And when you
invest that investment should be able to fetch you a great ROI. Robotic
Process Automation solutions can do that for your business.
Robotic process automation can do a lot for supply chain management to
make it cost-effective. For starters it serves to automate manual processes
that are repetitive and do not really need human discretion. It can in fact
even revolutionize process like vendor selection that do need human
discretion.
slide 2: So here are a few ways in which RPA solutions can set supply chain costs
right.
Automating Inventory Management:
Inventory and its management form the core of supply chain management.
A supply chain that is opaque serves no value to neither party neither the
manufacturers nor the suppliers. Transparent information about the status
and movement of stock is crucial to balance the demand and supply scale.
Automating inventory management helps businesses keep a tab on the
levels of inventory. And not just that it can also generate and send out
reports to the concerned managers and prompt in case stocks are low or
surplus and even place orders when stock is short. It can also help you
predict the optimum inventory level that you must maintain based on
historical data.
Vendor Selection:
Traditionally a manual process vendor selection can be revolutionized with
the help of robotic process automation companies. From quotation request
to communicating with the vendors scrutinizing and analyzing vendor
documents evaluating applications cross-checking credits and eventually
finalizing the vendor—all can be totally automated and drastically sped up
through RPA companies.
This frees up the human resources for more discretionary jobs like
preparing the list of prospective vendors and holding consequent in-person
meetings/negotiations if needed.
slide 3: Order and Payment Processing:
Placing orders and processing them is an integral part of supply chain
management. Right from product selection to processing payments for the
same and confirming order placement if done manually takes a serious
amount of time and paperwork and is prone to error when it comes to
numbers.
Robotic process automation vendors can help you with setting up a system
wherein all the information is digitized and just has to be ingested sourced
and processed through the company’s database. Inventory management
system can be integrated to source inventory information and payment
gateways to make and process payments. Notifications can also be sent to
all concerned parties through the same system.
Shipment Status Communication:
As much as the stock in the warehouse businesses also need to manage
the stock in movement. When customers enquire about the status of the
shipped goods procuring the information manually is a lengthy process
that only lowers the level of customer experience.
Robotic Process Automation companies can help you automate the entire
process from receiving customer enquiries to analyzing them accessing
the ERP system fetching the shipment status and communicating it to the
customer. This makes human intervention necessary only if there is a
peculiar problem on the customer’s end. This saves time and thus man
hours spent in redundant work.
Final Words:
RPA solutions are already on their way to making supply chain
management a cost-effective affair. However not all businesses have the
slide 4: exact same needs. Here is where expert advice from robotic process
automation companies can help.
